ECCB 2008 Workshop: Annotation, Interpretation and Management of Mutations (AIMM)

Instructions

Manuscript preparation and formatting instructions

The review procedure is double-blind, therefore the manuscripts must not contain authors' names, acknowledgements or other information which would obviously reveal the authors' identity. Authors' own publications should be cited like those of any other author (e.g. "as Smith et al. (2007) show" instead of "as we show (Smith et al. 2007)").
All submissions should follow the BMC style and authors using Latex are strongly encouraged to use the provided style files to prepare their manuscripts. The documents limits are 4000 words (maximum 12 pages) for full papers and 2000 words (maximum 6 pages) for short papers, including references, on a DIN A4 page size. The manuscripts will be submitted electronically as PDF files. Before submitting, please make sure (for example in Acrobat Reader) that your PDF file does have the correct page size.

Paper submission

The AIMM 2008 electronic submission system is open and accessible here. If you do not already have an EasyChair account, you will need to create one for submitting to AIMM; the process is easy and takes only a couple of minutes. To create an account, click on the "I have no EasyChair account" button on the page linked above and follow the given instructions. After logging into the EasyChair system, you can submit your paper by selecting "New Submission" from the top menu and filling the submission form. (PC members wishing to submit a manuscript should first select "AIMM -> change role" and log in as an author; the "New Submission" menu option is not shown while logged in as a PC member.) The EasyChair submission form requires authors to fill in full postal address and fax number. While some information is needed for both, neither of these will be used in the AIMM review process. Although reviewing is blind, do fill in the real names of all authors in the submission form --- this form is not visible to reviewers, so only the manuscript PDF file needs to be "blinded". After submitting your manuscript, you are free to revise your submission (e.g. upload a new version of the PDF or change the abstract) at any time until the conference submission deadline. To make modifications to an already submitted manuscript, log in to EasyChair and select your manuscript from the menu. If you have problems using the system, please contact the conference organizers.
