Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The 2019 6th International Conference on Bioinformatics Research and Applications (ICBRA 2019) will be held in Seoul National University, Seoul, South Korea on December 19–21, 2019. ICBRA 2019 is aimed at keeping abreast of the current development and innovation in Bioinformatics Research and Applications, as well as providing an engaging forum for participants to share knowledge and expertise in related issues. This Special Issue intends to contain a selection of carefully-revised and extended best papers, to be presented at ICBRA 2019.
The authors of a number of selected full papers of high quality will be invited after the conference to submit revised and extended versions of their originally-accepted conference papers to this Special Issue of Information, published by MDPI, in open access format. The selection of these best papers will be based on their ratings in the conference review process, quality of presentation during the conference, and expected impact on the research community. Each submission to this Special Issue should contain at least 50% of new material, e.g., in the form of technical extensions, more in-depth evaluations, or additional use cases. These extended submissions will undergo a peer-review process according to the journal’s rules of action. At least two technical committees will act as reviewers for each extended article submitted to this Special Issue; if needed, additional external reviewers will be invited to guarantee a high-quality reviewing process.
Prof. Dr. Juan M Corchado
Guest Editor
