Paper (closed)

Authors wishing to submit to DATABASE for the 2012 BIOCURATION VIRTUAL ISSUE should go to the DATABASE home page and follow the guidelines on the "Instructions to Authors" section. When ready, authors will start the process of submission by following the link "Submit Now!". All authors must CLEARLY state for the staff at DATABASE that they are submitting this manuscript for consideration for the 2012 Annual Biocuration Conference, to ensure appropriate fast-track options for inclusion in the proceedings of this meeting. Finally, when filling the DATABASE submission form, authors MUST select "Biocuration Conference Paper" as their manuscript type (see figure below).

Accepted papers will be given special consideration by the session chairs for selection as oral presentations. In the event that an accepted paper does not fit the scope of any of the session topics, the paper will still be considered for publication in DATABASE, although it may not be invited for an oral presentation at the conference. The Journal DATABASE will create a virtual issue with papers from the Biocuration Conference in Washington DC on April 2-4, 2012. This virtual issue will be printed and distributed to conference attendees.
