Submissions platform
Submission guidelines
Papers should be submitted electronically via the following website: https://meteor.springer.com/CIABiomed2025
All submitted papers must be written in English and will be reviewed by single-blind peer review by at least three members of the Program Committee. Papers must be original and must not have been published previously. In addition, submitted documents must comply with Springer’s code of conduct: https://www.springernature.com/gp/authors/book-authors-code-of-conduct
Regular and short papers accepted will be included with their own DOI in Lecture Notes in Bioinformatics (LNBI) from Springer. Poster papers accepted will also be published in Lecture Notes in Bioinformatics (LNBI) grouped under the same DOI. In order to encourage more developed contributions, authors are encouraged to expand their papers whenever possible, so that they can be considered as regular papers. The accepted breakthrough papers will be published in the society’s own proceedings which will be available on the official IABiomed website.
Publication is conditional on the registration and presentation of the paper at the conference by one of the authors. Accepted oral presentations and posters may be presented at the conference in Spanish.
Once the conference is over, the accepted contributions will be published in the corresponding proceedings depending on the type of submission made.
Type of submissions
Each paper should be prepared following the Lecture Notes in Bioinformatics (LNBI) format from Springer, the template for which is available at https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines. The template can also be found on the Overleaf platform: https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/springer-lecture-notes-in-computer-science/kzwwpvhwnvfj#.WuA4JS5uZpi. CIABioMed 2025 accepts four types of submissions:
- Regular papers: This type of paper is limited to a range of 12-15 pages.
- Short papers: These papers are limited to a range of 6-11 pages.
- Posters papers: This contribution is limited to a total of between 4-6 pages, and it is not possible to extend the length of the document. This type of document will not include an oral presentation during the conference. Authors of this type of document should prepare a real poster to be displayed during the conference. For presentation purposes at the conference, authors should prepare the poster in portrait format. Accepted dimensions are 60 (width) x 80 (length).
- Breakthroughs papers: This modality aims to give visibility to recent research and bring these advances closer to the scientific community, fostering interdisciplinary knowledge and connections between researchers from different areas such as computer science, biology, medicine and bioengineering. Breakthroughs papers may refer to work that has already been published, although the content of the document must be completely original. The contribution is limited to 2-4 pages, and it is not possible to extend the length of the document. The duration of the oral presentation of this type of document will be shorter than the regular one.
Regular and short papers accepted will be included with their own DOI in Lecture Notes in Bioinformatics (LNBI) from Springer. Poster papers accepted will also be published in Lecture Notes in Bioinformatics (LNBI) grouped under the same DOI. In order to encourage more developed contributions, authors are encouraged to expand their papers whenever possible, so that they can be considered as regular papers. The accepted breakthrough papers will be published in the society’s own proceedings which will be available on the official IABiomed website.
