| The Proceedings of the Workshop will be published
in special editions of SAR and QSAR in Environmental Research. This
journal, published by Taylor and Francis, currently leads the field
in toxicological QSAR.
All poster and platform presenters at QSAR2004 are invited to submit
a manuscript to the proceedings. It is intended that the special
editions of SAR and QSAR in Environmental Research will be published
rapidly.
To expedite publication ALL MANUSCRIPTS MUST BE SUBMITTED BY THE
CLOSE OF THE MEETING (13TH MAY 2004). Unfortunately there is no
exception to this rule.
All submissions must be correctly formatted. The original and 3
copies of the manuscript, in addition to an electronic copy (floppy
or CD), should be submitted to the Workshops Organisers.
Important Details and Conditions Regarding
Submission of Abstracts
By submitting your manuscript to the Proceedings of QSAR2004 you
agree to abide by the conditions stated below and the decision of
the editors.
All manuscripts submitted will undergo a peer-review process. In
addition, prior to review, all manuscripts will be pre-reviewed
by the editors of proceedings. Only those manuscripts judged to
meet the following criteria will be considered for publication in
the proceedings :
• The manuscript must be submitted before the end of the
meeting (this is an absolute deadline)
• Manuscripts must be submitted to a member of the editorial
board of the proceedings (see below) and a receipt obtained
• Manuscripts must be in the proper format (see Instructions
for Authors)
• Manuscripts must be written in a high standard of scientific
English
• Three hard-copies and disk required
• Manuscripts must clearly move the science (as in the themes
of QSAR2004) forward.
Priority will be given to:
• Hypothesis driven manuscripts
• Those transparently describing new tools
• Those modelling new datasets
If a manuscript proceeds to peer-review, the comments of the reviewers
will be used to allocate the manuscript to be accepted pending minor
revisions, re-reviewed if the initial review judged the manuscript
potential acceptable based on major revisions, or rejected. In the
case of the first two options a revised manuscript and a letter
detailing how the authors addressed each point raised by the reviewers
need to be returned by e-mail within 2 weeks for minor revisions
and 3 weeks for major revisions of receiving reviewers comments.
The decision of the editorial board is final.
