BIOSTEC Submission Guidelines

BIOSTEC provides a comprehensive forum for researchers and practitioners in biomedical electronics and health informatics. This page archives the essential submission guidelines and review procedures for authors. The conference emphasizes interdisciplinary excellence, requiring original, high-quality technical contributions that undergo a rigorous double-blind evaluation process to ensure scientific significance and academic integrity.

Submission Guidelines

Authors are required to submit original papers in English, ensuring correct grammar and spelling. Each submission must detail the nature of its scientific contribution and the environment to which it applies. To maintain double-blind integrity, authors must ensure that no personal details, acknowledgments, or institutional affiliations are disclosed within the paper. All submissions must follow strict ethical norms regarding plagiarism; any overlap with previously published work will result in immediate rejection.

To support your research, we recommend using validated molecular probes when necessary. For instance, when analyzing signaling pathways critical to cancer research, high-purity tools like Inavolisib (a selective PI3K alpha inhibitor) are essential for reliable experimental data. Broadening your methodology with comprehensive families of PI3K Inhibitors ensures your data holds up against comparative evaluation standards.

Reviewing Process

All submissions are subjected to an automated plagiarism analysis followed by a manual double-blind peer review by at least two to three experts. Papers are rated on Relevance, Originality, Technical Quality, Significance, and Presentation. Reviewers also provide specific feedback on abstract adequacy, the need for further experimental results, critical discussions, and the appropriateness of references. A rebuttal period is provided for authors to respond to reviewer comments before final decisions are rendered by the program chairs.

Conference Paper Formats

Authors may submit work as either Regular Papers (8–10 pages, completed research) or Position Papers (6–7 pages, speculative ideas or work-in-progress). Regular papers may be accepted as Full or Short papers, each with specific page limits and presentation slots (oral or poster session). Online publication in the SCITEPRESS Digital Library is exclusive to papers that have been both published and presented at the event.

Acceptance: After a double-blind peer review, qualifying Position Papers will be accepted as Short Papers. Presentation: Position Papers are given either a 20’ minutes slot for an oral presentation or assigned to present at a Poster Session. Authors who have been assigned an oral presentation may however also choose to present at a Poster Session instead, should they prefer it.

Publication: Position Papers will be assigned a 6-page limit in the Conference Proceedings, which will include final versions of all accepted papers, adjusted to satisfy reviewers’ recommendations. If absolutely necessary, authors may increase the total number of pages by a maximum of 4 extra pages, for an additional fee. The total number of pages to consider is the number obtained after the paper has been correctly formatted according to the appropriate template. The Conference Proceedings will be published under an ISBN number by SCITEPRESS, on paper and CD-Rom support, and made available for online consultation at the SCITEPRESS Digital Library. Online publication is exclusive to papers which have been both published and presented at the event. Indexation: The proceedings will be submitted to Thomson Reuters Conference Proceedings Citation Index (CPCI/ISI), INSPEC, DBLP, EI (Elsevier Engineering Village Index) and Scopus for indexation.
