Extravaganza Feature Papers on Hot Topics in Machine Learning and Knowledge Extraction
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As Editors-in-Chief of MAKE, we are pleased to announce a call for papers for the upcoming Feature Papers Topical Collection. This is a collection of high-quality open access papers written by Editorial Board Members or those invited by the editorial office and the Editor-in-Chief. Submitted work should take the form of long research papers (or survey or review papers) with a full and detailed summary of the author’s own work carried out so far.
Papers accepted for this Special Issue will be published free of charge in open access format. You are welcome to send short proposals for submissions of feature papers to our Editorial Office (make@mdpi.com).
Prof. Dr. Andreas Holzinger
Collection 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 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. Machine Learning and Knowledge Extraction is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 1800 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.
