Physiological Measurement

[Polly]

Dear organizers,

It was a wonderful challenge and we learned a lot from it！Thank you so much for your efforts!

Our team plan to extend our 4-page paper and submit to Physiological Measurement.

It is not clear what extent the content of the  4-page paper  needs to be expanded to increase the possibility of being accepted by the journal. Can you please give us some advice？Can we modify the main methods in our 4-page paper or just add some detailed analysis?

Best,

Polly

[PhysioNet Challenge]

Dear Polly,

Thank you so much for your kind words - we hope next year will be even better, and we can address more of the questions we all have!

For the focus issue in Physiological Measurement, you can write an extended version of your CinC paper (following the same 12 point (not pint) guidelines from my previous email) - I would advise making it 8-12 pages in length, providing as much detail as possible on your methods and results, adding an analysis of which classes were most problematic for your algorithm, and add a comparison with other approaches in the literature, (particularly with other methods at CinC, which you will now have seen). 

(The test score by class will be released soon, and the other articles are available as preprints - those without preprints obviously will not get as much attention and you should not cite papers based on reading the abstract only.) 

You may also improve the algorithm, or address related issues. 

A draft of the announcement as it will appear at the journal, with full scope and guidelines, can be found here:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/10p9aGWqLk4VX3PHopVHjL4tqyRKG5YuA4C1EJj9dC3E/edit?usp=sharing

If you submit before the focus issue is live, please contact the journal (and cc us) to let them know you want it included in this particular focus issue.

Thanks again for contributing, and we look forward to your journal articles. 

All the best,

Gari

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! 

-Gari

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

Dear Challengers,

I've *just* been informed that the Focus Issue has now officially been announced:

https://iopscience.iop.org/journal/0967-3334/page/Classification_Multilead_ECGs.

To submit, login and create an account at the journal:

https://mc04.manuscriptcentral.com/pmea-ipem

During submission select 

Special Issue Article

as the type of article, and then choose:

"Classification of Multilead ECGs"

Importantly, please do not use the words 'PhysioNet' or 'Challenge' or the phrase 'computing in cardiology' or 'classification of multilead ECGs' in the title. 

Your title should be specific to the contribution you have made. 

Many thanks

Gari
