By submitting a manuscript to ISBI 2019, authors acknowledge that it has not been previously published or accepted for publication in substantially similar form in any peer-reviewed venue including journal, conference, or workshop. Furthermore, no paper substantially similar in content has been or will be submitted to another conference or workshop during the review period (October 9 – December 18, 2018). The authors also attest that they did not submit substantially similar submissions to ISBI 2019. Violation of any of these conditions will lead to rejection. Authors may post their article on preprint servers such as arXiv.org before submission. See the IEEE Author Center for details on the policy.
Animal/Human Subjects
IEEE-ISBI supports the standard requirements on the use of animal and human subjects for scientific and biomedical research. For all IEEE ISBI 2019 papers reporting data from studies involving human and/or animal subjects, formal review and approval, or formal review and waiver, by an appropriate institutional review board or ethics committee is required and should be stated in the papers. For those investigators whose Institutions do not have formal ethics review committees, the principles outlined in the Helsinki Declaration of 1975, as revised in 2000, should be followed.
