Conference Proceedings

All authors of accepted abstracts will be invited to submit (optional) an extended version (short conference paper of a max. of 5 pages including figures and references) for evaluation (see Important Dates). All accepted short papers after the pre-conference peer-review process will be published as chapters in the conference proceedings by Springer. The registered author(s) of each accepted paper will receive a "Springer Certificate of Acceptance" certifying that the paper has been accepted for publication in the conference proceedings.

The proceedings of the MedLIFE-24 will be made available in the SpringerLink Digital Library which is directly linked to Research Gate and will be published in Springer ASTI series which is indexed in Scopus (CiteScore = 0,7 as of March 2024):

ASTI Series

Note that authors of accepted papers in the conference proceedings (after the pre-conference peer review process) and who do not plan to attend the MedLIFE-24 should also register before the deadline (see Important Dates and Registration). If you are not sure whether you or one of your co-authors will be able to attend the conference, you should bear in mind that there is a fee to be paid before this deadline to cover the editorial handling and evaluation of your paper before publication in the conference proceedings. The accepted paper will not be included in the conference proceedings without paying the fee. If you pay the fee and decide to attend the conference afterward, the paid amount will be deduced from your total registration fee.

The proceedings of MedLIFE-24 will consist of several volumes, each edited by the Track Chairs (see Conference Tracks) and other Editors who will be selected from the list of the most supportive members of the Technical Committee.

Oral Communications

There are three types of oral communications:

Best Paper Awards

During the conference the best paper selected from each conference track, as judged by the reviewers and session conveners, will receive awards (see Conference Tracks).

Decisions are based on the following criteria:

  • Originality and newness of contribution.
  • Appropriate application of methodology.
  • Effective communication of the central ideas of the work.
  • Usefulness of the research in resolving biological and/or societal problem(s) for more sustainability.

Special Issues

The MedLIFE-24 Steering Committee has agreed with journals published by reputable publishers (see Publishing Partners) to publish high-quality topical collections (special issues) on cross-cutting themes from the life sciences. More information about these journals will be released in summer 2024.

Authors of the selected papers will be notified in 31 December 2024 to start preparing an extended version of their proceedings papers or accepted (short) abstracts (not extended) for submission in one of the special issues.

All papers will be peer-reviewed by Editors of each journal before final acceptance for publication.

Once we have reached an agreement with a scientific journal, we will list below its special issue(s) that relate to the topics covered by MedLIFE-24. Click on the journal covers to learn about each special issue, and keep monitoring this page for more updates:
