Submission to the early bird
Besides our regular submission process, we are excited to introduce an additional submission mechanism to accommodate the diverse needs of our participants: Early Bird Submission, aiming to offer flexibilities, promote review quality, broaden participation, and foster an open and engaged community. The early bird submission will be hosted on OpenReview.net. By participating in the early bird submission, you can refine your work based on constructive critiques from experts in the field, well before the regular submission deadline. The new mode shares the same reviewing and publication standards as the regular submission.
The early bird submission will accept long papers, only. The recommended formatting style is that of the IEEE proceedings, i.e. the traditional IEEE ICHI proceeding style. Paper submissions must adhere to the IEEE Proceeding`s Format.
The maximum paper length is up to 10 pages, plus references.
Early Bird and Regular Submission Deadlines
- Early Bird Submission
- Submission deadline: Sep 07th, 2024
- 1st round notification: Oct 07th, 2024
- Initial reviews will be provided, categorizing submissions into ‘Accept,’ ‘Revise,’ or ‘Reject.’
- Revised version deadline: Nov 07th, 2024
- Resubmission round and final notification: Dec 07th, 2024
- Camera ready: March 07th, 2025
- Submission platform (openreview): Early bird submission – IEEE ICHI 2025
Implementing the early bird mode provides authors with opportunities to improve their submission. A submission can be accepted in the initial round review in the early bird (Oct 7th, 2024), in the resubmission round in early bird (Dec 7th, 2024), or in the regular submission.
If a paper is rejected in the early bird, authors may submit as a regular submission (submission by Jan 07th, 2025, notification by March 13th, 2025).
A paper accepted in the early bird may also be recommended for publication in the Journal of Healthcare Informatics Research, following the decision of the chairs and of the EiC of the journal. The Journal of Healthcare Informatics Research highlights novel, cutting-edge contributions in computing for the health informatics research community. The publication policies of the JHIR apply.
If the early bird submission is accepted for publication in the JHIR, the paper must also be presented at the conference, requiring one author to register at the authors’ registration fee.
Reviewing
ICHI uses double-blind reviewing for full and short papers, submissions should therefore be anonymized and all references and links disclosing the authorship should be blinded appropriately.
Topics
IEEE-ICHI is dedicated to advancing areas such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), foundational principles of computer and information sciences and technology, communication technology to address challenges and problems in healthcare, and everyday wellness. Journal of Healthcare Informatics Research highlights novel, cutting-edge contributions in computing for the healthcare informatics research community. It covers three major tracks:
- Analytics—focuses on advancing AI/ML-based decision support, generative AI, data analytics, knowledge discovery, and predictive modeling for healthcare research.
- Systems—focuses on building and deploying novel healthcare informatics systems (e.g., architecture, framework, design, engineering, and application).
- Human-centered Computing—focuses on intelligent communication with healthcare stakeholders (e.g., doctors, nurses, and patients), adaptive interface design for healthcare systems, user experiences of healthcare informatics applications, and understanding and motivating health behavior.
By addressing these areas, IEEE-ICHI aims to bridge the gap between healthcare and information technology, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and development of novel methods to improve patient outcomes and public health.
Topics include but are not limited to:
- Analytics:
AI/ML-based decision support systems
Generative AI for healthcare
