Call For Papers - ACM Crossroads Special Issue in Bioinformatics
Greetings, I am the guest editor of the ACM Crossroads special issue on Bioinformatics. ACM Crossroads is the largest and most popular college computing journal by and for computer science students, and sponsored by the premier computer science professional organization, the Association for Computing Machinery. We are looking for professional guest reviewers and editors from the academic community for this special issue on bioinformatics. If you have the time to spare to review 3-5 article submissions, please let us know. If you have a bit more time to help an accepted article through the editorial process, including content editing, that would also be greatly appreciated. In addition, we are calling for articles related to bioinformatics. We are hoping that you will pass this message along to any of your students who might be interested in submitting an article to Crossroads for this issue (both graduate and undergraduate students). Please also forward this on to your colleagues so that they can distribute it to their students. The "Call for Articles" is below... Thank you. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask me or the Editor-in-Chief, Jerry Guo. Sincerely, David S. Angulo Faculty College of Computer Science, Telecommunications and Information Science DePaul University dangulo@cti.depaul.edu Jerry Guo Editor in Chief, ACM Crossroads Yale University ji.guo@yale.edu -- Call For Articles Crossroads, the Association for Computing Machinery Student Magazine Bioinformatics (Fall 2006) DUE DATE: 3 April 2006 SUBMISSION ADDRESS: http://www.acm.org/crossroads/submit/ INFORMATION: crossroads@acm.org http://www.acm.org/crossroads/doc/cfas/bio.html The Crossroads editorial staff invites authors to submit articles dealing with topics drawn from several areas pertaining to bioinformatics and computational biology. The following partial list of topics is provided to give prospective authors ideas for articles and is by no means exhaustive; other relevant topics will be considered. Papers that draw connections between two or more of these areas are especially welcome. * Genetic programming * Neural networks * Genomic and sequencing analysis * Evolutionary modeling * Data mining * Protein structure prediction * Modeling and simulations * Bioinformatic programs * Expression analysis * Bioinformatic ethics Articles should include a basic description of the kinds of problems being worked on, the state of the art of research, the state of the art of commercial applications, open problems, or future research/commercial development trends. Interviews with researchers; reviews of related books, software, videos, or conferences; and opinion columns on related issues are also welcome. We especially encourage both undergraduate and graduate students to submit articles. However, articles written or coauthored by professionals will also be considered. Crossroads articles should be written for a broad audience. They should be easily understandable by someone who has had only the most basic computer science instruction, and yet still be interesting to the advanced computer enthusiast. Articles longer than 6000 words will generally not be considered for publication. Feature articles should be between 1500 and 6000 words; reviews should be between 800 and 2000 words; and opinion columns should be between 800 and 3000 words. Articles should be written in a magazine style rather than a research paper style. In consideration of our diverse readership, authors should try to use language that is inclusive of people regardless of their gender, race, religion, nationality, or field of study. Additional writing guidelines and submission information are available online at the Crossroads web site (http://www.acm.org/crossroads/doc/information/writing.html). Crossroads is published both online and in print. We have a print circulation of about 20,000. All back issues are available for free on our website. Authors that have an article printed in Crossroads can receive complementary copies of the issue they were published in. All submissions should be formatted in XHTML or plain text format with all images at least 300 dpi, and submitted via http://www.acm.org/crossroads/submit/ Submissions are due April 3, 2006. They will be reviewed shortly thereafter and authors of accepted submissions will be notified within two to three weeks of the deadline. Prospective authors are invited to send email to the editors of Crossroads (crossroads@acm.org) indicating their intention to submit an article. In this way we can keep everyone informed of any changes in deadlines or formats and to make sure we have a good variety of articles. General questions should also be sent to the Crossroads editors.
I would be honored to be a reviewer. Regards, Susie Angulo, David wrote:
