Dear Colleagues,
We would like to inform you about the *extended deadline* for submissions to
the Computers and Graphics Journal (C&G)
<https://www.journals.elsevier.com/computers-and-graphics> Special Section
on Molecular Graphics and Visual Analysis of Molecular Data.
Important Dates
************************************************************************
Submission deadline: 31.1.2021 new: *22.2.2021*
First decision notification: 28.2.2021 new: *22.3.2021*
Final decision notification: 30.4.2021 new: *17.5.2021*
************************************************************************
Please note that the above deadlines are the latest possible. In accordance
with the CnG standards, we ensure that the authors will receive the first
notification within a month from the actual submission if they decide to
submit earlier. All submissions will be fully peer-reviewed by at least
three experts. You can find the complete author guidelines at:
https://www.elsevier.com/journals/computers-and-graphics/0097-8493/guide-fo…
.
We solicit several types of submissions:
*Journal paper submissions *presenting original work within the scope
described below.
*Survey papers *discussing the state-of-the-art topics relevant to MolVA
Workshop (
tinyurl.com/molva <http://decibel.fi.muni.cz/~xbyska/molva/>).
*Extended and revised versions of full papers, short papers, and surveys* that
were accepted only for presentation at the *MolVA *2021.
The papers might be accepted either as *journal publications* or
*conference-only
publications*. The journal publications will be published directly in
Computers and Graphics journal, while the conference-only papers will be
published in EG Digital Library. The conference-only publications will be
offered to submit an extended version that will undergo another fully
peer-reviewed process and could be still accepted as a journal publication
after the workshop. After the first round of reviews, the authors will be
notified about the track that was selected for their paper based on the
quality of the publication and may choose to retract the paper if they do
not wish to accept it.
Please submit your contribution via Editorial Manager (Deadline: *February
22, 2021*):
https://www.editorialmanager.com/CAG/default.aspx
*Important Note to Authors:* To ensure that all manuscripts are correctly
identified for inclusion into the Virtual Special Section, it is important
that authors select “*VSI: MolVA 2021*”, when they reach the “Select
Article Type” step in the submission process.
All accepted papers will be presented at MolVA 2021 Workshop
<http://tinyurl.com/molva>, which will be co-located with EuroVis 2021
<https://www.eurovis.org/> in Zurich, Switzerland. Therefore, at least one
of the authors of an accepted paper will have to register and attend
(possibly virtually) the workshop.
Suggested topics for papers include, but are not limited to:
- Molecular Graphics & Rendering
- Web-based Molecular Graphics & Visualization
- Immersive Analytics approaches using, e.g., VR/AR technologies
- Visual Analysis of Molecular Data (e.g., molecular structures,
biological networks and pathways, or omics data)
- Visualization of Dynamic Molecular Data & Large Molecular Systems
- Machine-learning approaches for analysis of molecular data
- Tools papers describing new molecular visualization tools or novel
features in existing tools
