Dear Colleague,
You are invited to consider “Network Modeling and Analysis in Health
Informatics and Bioinformatics” Journal, (NetMAHIB) as the main outlet
for your high quality research papers. The NetMAHIB journal provides a
rapid forum for the dissemination of original research articles in all
areas of health informatics and bioinformatics.
The journal website may be accessed at:
http://www.springer.com/new+%26+forthcoming+titles+%28default%29/journal/13721
Aims and Scope
NetMAHIB publishes original research articles and reviews reporting
how graph theory, statistics, linear algebra and machine learning
techniques can be effectively used for modelling and knowledge
discovery in health informatics and bioinformatics. It aims at
creating a synergy between these disciplines by providing a forum for
disseminating the latest developments and research findings; hence
results can be shared with readers across institutions, governments,
researchers, students, and the industry. The journal emphasizes
fundamental contributions on new methodologies, discoveries and
techniques that have general applicability and which form the basis
for network based modelling and knowledge discovery in health
informatics and bioinformatics.
The NetMAHIB journal is proud to have an outstanding group of editors
who widely and rigorously cover the multidisciplinary score of the
journal. They are known to be research leaders in the field of Health
Informatics and Bioinformatics. Further, the NetMAHIB journal is
characterized by providing thorough constructive reviews by experts in
the field and by the reduced turn-around time which allows research
results to be disseminated and shared on timely basis. The target of
the editors is to complete the first round of the refereeing process
within about 8 to 10 weeks of submission. Accepted papers go to the
online first list and are immediately made available for access by the
research community.
We look forward to receiving your submissions by email to editor-in-
