The selection of work to a specific COSI session is at the discretion of the Bio-Ontologies and BOSC joint organizing committee. Unsuccessful paper submissions will automatically be considered for flash updates presentations. All submissions will be considered for poster presentations.
Accepted Submissions
Accepted submissions require that one author register for the conference and present the work. The presenter should identify themselves as the corresponding author during the submission process. All accepted submissions will be catalogued in the 2023 Bio-Ontologies Zenodo Community and provided with a citable DOI. Accepted submissions will be invited to publish an extended version of their work in the Bio-Ontologies Thematic Series through the Journal of Biomedical Semantics.
