Abstract submission
We encourage you to submit abstracts (due April 20 – sorry, no extensions) on any topic relevant to open source bioinformatics or open science (see topic list below). After review, some abstracts will be selected for lightning talks, longer talks, or posters. A second “late poster” round of submissions will end May 18.
Abstract submission is via ISMB’s EasyChair (linked from our submission page). Note that ISMB requires a short (200-word) text-only abstract for all submissions (talk or poster), plus a “long abstract” (PDF, 2 pages max) if you want to be considered for a talk.
About BOSC
Since 2000, the Bioinformatics Open Source Conference has provided a forum for developers and users to interact and share research results and ideas in open source bioinformatics and open science.
As usual, BOSC 2023 will include keynote talks, longer and shorter (lightning) talks from submitted abstracts, posters, Birds of a Feather, and more! Like last year, BOSC and Bio-Ontologies will join forces for a joint session.
BOSC topics include (but are not limited to):
- Open Science and Reproducible Research
- Open Biomedical Data
- Citizen/Participatory Science
- Standards and Interoperability
- Data Science
- Workflows
- Open Approaches to Translational Bioinformatics
- Open Science for Global Health
- Developer Tools and Libraries
- Inclusion, Outreach and Training
- Bioinformatics Open Source Project Reports (about new or existing projects)
- Open and interoperable ontologies (joint session with Bio-Ontologies)
Registration fee assistance
We realize that the cost of ISMB may be prohibitive for some. If you are submitting an abstract to BOSC and would have difficulty covering the cost of registration, you can request to be considered for a registration fee waiver right on the abstract submission form (your request will not be seen by reviewers). Fee waivers are made possible by our sponsors.
Sponsors
We welcome the first Silver sponsors of BOSC 2023! If you’re interested in becoming a sponsor, let us know!
