Feature Papers in Applied Biomedical Data Science

Dear Colleagues,

“Feature Papers in Applied Biomedical Data Science” is a Special Issue of BioMedInformatics that aims to publish original and innovative research papers in the field of biomedical data science. This Special Issue welcomes submissions from researchers, scholars, and practitioners working in the broad areas of biomedical data analysis, machine learning, computing-based knowledge discovery, data mining, and computational biology.

Scope and Topics

We welcome original and unpublished research articles reporting innovative and significant research results in the following areas of applied biomedical data science:

• Biomedical signal processing and analysis;
• Medical image analysis;
• Understanding genomics, proteomics, and transcriptomics  data analysis;
• Clinical and healthcare data analysis;
• Electronic health records (EHR) analysis;
• Medical natural language processing (mNLP);
• Machine learning in healthcare;
• Computational drug discovery and development;
• Systems biology;
• Personalized medicine;
• Deep learning and artificial Intelligence (AI) in biomedical data science;
• Computational modeling of biomedical processes;
• Soft-coding of medical problems and workflows.

Submission Guidelines

We invite high-quality research papers that report novel and significant research findings. Data processing should be the focus, and should not take up less space than reporting and discussing the results in a biomedical context. Submissions should not have been published elsewhere and should not be under consideration for publication elsewhere. We will only accept full-length research articles for this Special Issue and will not consider review articles or commentaries. All submissions will be peer-reviewed by experts in the field. We encourage authors to follow the standard research paper format and provide a clear and concise description of their research findings. Manuscripts should be submitted in English and should follow the journal's guidelines and formatting requirements. This Special Issue aims to present cutting-edge research in applied biomedical data science. We welcome high-quality research papers that report novel and significant research findings in the broad areas of biomedical data analysis.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. BioMedInformatics is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1000 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
