PARTNERSHIP WITH iSCIENCE

All submissions to the proceedings track will be simultaneously considered for publication in a special issue of the journal iScience, if the authors agree. iScience is an open-access journal published by Cell Press for original research in the life, physical, and earth sciences.
In addition to the program committee of RECOMB-seq, editors of iScience will evaluate the papers for biological impact and suitability for publication. In particular, the following criteria will be used to evaluate the biological relevance:

- Can inputs be found through experiments?
- Can outputs be used directly in future experiment or analysis?
- Can outputs be obtained through well-established methodology for less cost?
- Is methodology proposed applicable in useful settings?
- Do biological data support the study?
- Is biological variability sufficiently accounted for?

Authors who do not wish their manuscript to be considered for iScience should use the overlay track for submission. Publication in iScience is subject to an Open Access charge of $3000.

Reduced Open Access charges for authors in developing countries and others in financial hardship are available.

 

PAPER AND ABSTRACT SUBMISSION PROCEDURES

Manuscripts for the "proceedings track" should not exceed 10 pages using at least 11 point font on U.S. standard 8 1/2 by 11 inch paper with no less than one inch margin all around. This excludes the cover page and references. The cover page should have the title and the corresponding author's email address. An optional short appendix, if absolutely necessary, can be included but will be considered at the discretion of the program committee. Manuscripts must be submitted electronically in PDF format via the EasyChair system.

The submission system will be open starting December 9th, 2019 and ending January 13th 2020.
Authors will be notified of acceptance or rejection by email on or before February 20th 2020.

An author of each accepted paper is expected to attend the workshop and present the paper; otherwise, alternative arrangements should be made to have the paper presented.

 

SPECIAL HANDLING OF PAPERS SUBMITTED TO RECOMB 2020
If you would like to consider submitting a paper rejected by RECOMB 2020 to the workshop, you may do so by the regular deadline of January 13th 2020.

You must include in your submission a Cover Letter that includes the reviews received from RECOMB together with a rebuttal addressing the concerns raised by the reviewers.

The submitted manuscript should also be modified according to the reviews, or provide an explanation of why modifications are unnecessary.

All reviews will be treated confidentially and will only be visible to the PC members.

 

Q&A ABOUT THE SUBMISSIONS
Question 1: I want to present a paper, which track should I use?
Answer: If you want it to be considered for publication in iScience, then submit to the proceedings track. If you want to publish elsewhere, then submit it to overlay. If it has been previously published or accepted for publication then it should be submitted as a highlight.

Question 2: Are my chances of being accepted for a talk different if I do different tracks?
Answer: No. Both overlay and proceedings will be peer-evaluated by the PC.

Question 3: Can my paper be rejected by iScience but still get a talk?
Answer: Yes. In this case it will be accepted to the overlay track.

Question 4: Can I submit to both RECOMB-seq and ISMB (or another conference)?
Answer: Yes, if you use the overlay track and post your preprint.

Question 5: What if I want to publish in RECOMB-Seq proceedings but not in iScience?
Answer: There are no RECOMB-Seq proceedings. The papers accepted through the overlay track will be posted as preprints but not published through RECOMB-Seq. The papers accepted through the proceedings track will be published in iScience.
