We are happy to announce that all accepted full papers and surveys will be featured in a special issue of the journal Computers & Graphics (C&G).
Full Papers should describe original, application-oriented research that advances the fusion of visual computing methods within medicine and biology. Accepted work will focus on a well-defined biological or medical problem and demonstrate significant innovation or improvement in visual computing. Surveys are long-form submissions addressing new and emerging topics in visual computing, biology, and medicine.
Please visit the general call page for all submission types and the scope.
Submission Instructions
Full and survey papers must be submitted using the Editorial Manager for Computers & Graphics. Please note that in contrast to previous years, we are introducing a mandatory abstract submission (similar to EuroVis or VIS conferences) where the authors are required to submit the paper abstract one week prior to the submission deadline. For abstract submission, the SRM system needs to be used. You can find further instructions on our dedicated abstract submission page. This means you have to use two systems for your submission: SRM for abstract submission and Editorial Manager for Computers & Graphics for full paper submission. The same applies to Surveys. We remark that submitting a paper without prior abstract submission will lead to desk rejection.
Limits:
- Full Papers: We do not impose strict maximum lengths for submitted papers to the full papers track. However, it is unusual for papers to exceed 10 pages (in C&G LaTeX style including all images and references). Papers should only be as long as their content would justify. Reviewers might rate a submission lower if it is perceived as being unnecessarily long or might recommend it for a short paper instead. Authors are encouraged to use supplementary material, such as videos or executable programs, to provide extra content. Authors have to anonymize their submissions. Please follow the instructions in the guide for authors of Computers & Graphics.
- Surveys: We do not impose strict maximum lengths for papers submitted to the survey track. However, it is unusual for surveys to exceed 20 pages (in C&G LaTeX style, including all images and references). Authors are encouraged to use supplementary material, such as videos, to provide extra content. Authors have to anonymize their submissions. Please follow the instructions in the guide for authors of Computers & Graphics.
We encourage the use of digital videos to support all submissions. Please use only the most common video codecs, such as MP4 H.264, to maximize the chances that the reviewers can view them.
