Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Using networks to visualize knowledge and results helps readers to understand complex molecular interactions and relationships more easily. A single pathway sketch can contain dozens of interconnected molecules or chemicals and can still be understood by a human. Recently-established high-throughput technologies have led to a surge in newly-generated knowledge on molecular interactions in biology and medicine. The computational representation of biological networks facilitates new opportunities of data and knowledge exchange between researchers, and asserts a common vocabulary and understanding of underlying principles. Standards, methods and tools to visualize networks are continuously evolving in order to keep up with biomedical research and technological advances. In this Special Issue, we would like to invite submissions of original research and short communications on software tools, as well as review articles on topics related to “Network Visualization and Visual Network Analysis”. We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Frank KramerGuest Editor
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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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. Genes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
