Dear Christoph,
Thanks for your kind words. To clarify on the focus issue ... it will 'go live'
shortly, and papers will be reviewed in the order received at the normal
cadence (generally within 1-2 months depending on reviewers) and
published as soon as they are accepted in the focus issue.
If you submit before the focus issue is live, just let both the journal and
the challenge organizers (by emailing us here) know that you want the
article to be included in the focus issue "Classification of multilead ECGs",
associated with this year's PhysioNet/CinC Challenge.
They should be able to do the back-room work to tie it together.
Once the focus issue is 'live', you will be able to select the specific focus
issue from a drop down menu when submitting.
Just to note - these will be reviewed as any regular paper, not by the Challenge
team, although we will be involved in the editing of the issue and will provide
editorial context for each received article to make sure there are no glaring
issues, such as reporting incorrect results, or making failing to identify when
scores are not real test scores.
All the best, and we are looking forward to your contribution!

Dear Organizers,
First, let me second Polly’s thanks for this year’s challenge. As in previous years, it was really informative and good fun!
Just to clarify: the special issue will go live soon and you encourage us to submit an article based on the results of the current challenge? I am asking because you mentioned at the conference that the special issue will stay open for quite some time (sometime next year?) and next year’s challenge will be based on this one. That does, however, not mean that we should wait until it is open and incorporate those results as well?
All the best,
Christoph
