After the conference, the authors of all accepted contributions will be invited to submit an extended version of their manuscripts to a supplement in BMC Bioinformatics or BMC Medical Informatics and Decision Making, or to the conference proceedings book in Springer Lecture Notes in Bioinformatics (LNBI, a subseries of Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science).

The publication of each accepted extended article in the BMC journal supplements will cost approximately €2,000 (1435 GBP + approx. 20% VAT for EU authors; VAT in other countries may vary) to be paid by the article's authors to BioMed Central. The articles published in the BMC journals will then be open access. A maximum of 10-15 articles per BMC Supplement issue will be considered for publication.

The publication of the accepted extended articles in the Springer LNBI will be free of charge for the authors, and the articles published will not be open access. There is no limit to the maximum number of submitted articles for Springer LNBI.

The authors are allowed to use all the content (text, images, tables) of their short papers for the preparation of the extended articles. But note that:

• - The title and the abstract of each extended article should be slightly different from the ones of the corresponding short paper.

• - The list of authors and their order should be the same between short paper and extended article; possible changes should be discussed with the conference chairs (email: cibb2023@dei.unipd.it).

• - The extended article should extend the short paper content in at least one respect (e.g., larger study cohort, more experiments, complementary techniques).

Detailed instructions on how to proceed follow.

BMC Supplements: BMC Bioinformatics & BMC Medical Informatics and Decision Making

Authors interested in publishing the extended version of their CIBB contribution on a BMC Supplements journal should be aware that:

• - The cost of publishing an open access paper on BMC Supplements is around €2,000 (1435 GBP + approx. 20% VAT for EU authors; VAT in other countries may vary).

• - Authors will be required to write and sign a letter of interest where they declare their interest to publish on BMC Supplements, and agree to pay the publication fee in case of acceptance. More information on this will be sent via email after the conference.

• - Authors will be required to attach a (preliminary) abstract of the extended (350 words, with formatted structure as described in the journal guidelines) contribution to their letter of interest.

• - The review process will be managed by the CIBB 2023 chairs, but the BMC Editors reserve the right to give a final acceptance/rejection decision.

• - A maximum of 10-15 articles per BMC Supplement issue will be considered for publication: BMC Bioinformatics (10 papers), BMC Medical Informatics and Decision Making Editor (10-15 papers)
