Call for Papers: Semantics-enabled Biomedical Literature Analytics



This Special Issue aims to highlight the development of novel informatics
methods for *retrieval, indexing, and analysis of biomedical literature,
focusing on semantics-based techniques*. We invite researchers working in
biomedical informatics, knowledge representation/ontologies, information
retrieval, natural language processing, artificial intelligence/machine
learning, data mining, and other related areas to submit clear and detailed
descriptions of their novel methodological results.



The topics of interest include but are not limited to:

   - Knowledge representation and semantics for biomedical literature
   retrieval
   - Biomedical ontologies in search
   - Biomedical knowledge source integration
   - Biomedical knowledge graph construction and embeddings
   - Knowledge graphs in biomedical search
   - Semantic knowledge in biomedical literature classification and ranking
   - Biomedical information extraction
   - Entity linking and semantic annotation in biomedical texts
   - Literature-based knowledge discovery
   - Semantics for biomedical knowledge synthesis and systematic literature
   review

All submitted papers must be original and will go through a rigorous
peer-review process with at least two reviewers. Papers previously
published in conference proceedings will not be considered.  JBI’s
editorial policy will be strictly followed by special issue reviewers. Note
in particular that JBI emphasizes the publication of papers that introduce
innovative and generalizable methods of interest to the informatics
community. Specific applications can be described to motivate the
methodology being introduced, but papers that focus solely on a specific
application are not suitable for JBI.

*Submission Guidelines*

Authors must submit their papers via the online Editorial Manager (EES) at
<http://ees.elsevier.com/jbi>https://www.editorialmanager.com/jbi
<https://ees.elsevier.com/jbi>. Authors should select “Semantics-enabled
Biomedical Literature Analytics” as their submission category and note in a
cover letter that their submission is for the “*Special Issue on
Semantics-enabled Biomedical Literature Analytics.*” If the manuscript is
not intended as an original research paper, the cover letter should also
specify if it is, rather, a *Methodological Review, Commentary, or Special
Communication*. Authors should make sure to place their work in the context
of human-focused biomedical research or health care, and to review
carefully the relevant literature.

JBI’s editorial policy, and the types of articles that the journal
publishes, are outlined under *Aims and Scope *on the journal home page at
https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/journal-of-biomedical-informatics
<https://www.journals.elsevier.com/journal-of-biomedical-informatics>(click
on “View full Aims and Scope” for details). All submissions should follow
the guidelines for authors at
<https://www.elsevier.com/journals/journal-ofbiomedical-%20informatics/1532-0464/guide-for-authors>*https://www.elsevier.com/journals/journal-ofbiomedical-
informatics/1532-0464/guide-for-authors
<https://www.elsevier.com/journals/journal-ofbiomedical-%20informatics/1532-0464/guide-for-authors>*,
including format and manuscript structure.
