MolVA 2023 CnG Open Call
We are happy to announce an open call for submissions to the Computers and Graphics Journal (C&G) Special Section on Molecular Graphics and Visual Analytics of Molecular Data. We solicit several types of submissions that expand or summarize the state of the art in visualization and computer graphics with a strong focus on applications to molecular data:
- Full research or system paper submissions presenting novel work.
- Survey papers discussing the state-of-the-art topics relevant to MolVA Workshop (tinyurl.com/molva).
- Extended and revised versions of short papers that were accepted conference-only publications at the MolVA 2021 (following the usual requirement of at least 30% new materials).
All submissions will be fully peer-reviewed by at least three experts according to the standards of Computers and Graphics Journal. You can find the complete author guidelines at: https://www.elsevier.com/journals/computers-and-graphics/0097-8493/guide-for-authors.
All accepted papers will be presented at MolVA 2023 Workshop which will be co-located with EuroVis 2023 in Leipzig, Germany. Therefore, at least one of the authors of an accepted paper will have to register and attend the workshop.
Suggested topics for papers include, but are not limited to:
- Molecular Graphics & Rendering
- Web-based Molecular Graphics & Visualization
- Immersive Analytics approaches using, e.g., VR/AR technologies
- Visual Analysis of Molecular Data (e.g., molecular structures, biological networks and pathways, or omics data)
- Visualization of Dynamic Molecular Data & Large Molecular Systems
- Machine-learning approaches for analysis of molecular data
- Tools papers describing new molecular visualization tools or novel features in existing tools

Notification of first decision - June 20th, 2022
Notification of acceptance - August 25th, 2022
All deadlines are 23:59 PDT.
Call for Computers & Graphics Special Section
The SIBGRAPI 2022 C&G Journal Track is open for paper submission to a special section of the Elsevier Computers & Graphics Journal. We invite technical papers describing original results of research and applications of interactive computer graphics, visualization and novel input modalities, including virtual environments, in accordance with the journal’s scope. All papers accepted in this track are scheduled and must be presented at the conference (oral presentation). Please review our no-show and no-registration policy. Rejected papers may be resubmitted to the SIBGRAPI 2022 Main Track.
Submission Instructions:
Manuscripts submitted to this track must follow the instructions presented on the Computers & Graphics Journal Guide for Authors. Go to the C&G Journal page through this link and click on "Submit Your Paper" on the menu on the left. If you do not have an account in the Elsevier system you will need to create one.
When submitting papers to this track, please select "VSI: SIBGRAPI 2022" as the article type in the Elsevier system.
Please read ALL of the information in the Guide for Authors very carefully. In particular, here is some important info:
● Each submission should be accompanied by an ANONYMOUS cover letter providing a concise summary of the main contributions reported in your paper. It should also include the full reference and status (submitted, accepted, published) of the closest prior art, including your own. It should clarify how the material reported differs from that prior art—this information should also be found in the manuscript itself;
● Please use the LaTeX template available at this link together with the "elsarticle" class;
● Ensure your manuscript is set as single line spacing, double-column, and that line numbers are included ("twocolumn,final" parameters for the "elsarticle" LaTeX class);
● Anonymize your submissions following the Anonymization policy described in the Guide for Authors—in particular removing Author Names from the PDF text and metadata;
● Initial paper submission (first deadline) must be only a PDF of your manuscript;
● Please review and approve your submission after your files have been uploaded. Note that you should consider your submission as incomplete until you receive an email confirming receipt of your manuscript.
● If a revised version of your paper is requested, then source files (eg, ".tex" files and others) must be uploaded;
● Submitted manuscripts must be written in English. They are to be double-blindly reviewed by at least three experts in the topic of the work;
● There is no page limit. However, we would discourage people from writing pieces longer than 12 pages;
Paper Presentation:
All accepted papers in this track are scheduled for presentation at the event and must be presented at the conference. Please review our no-show and no-registration policy. More information about paper presentations will be sent to the authors of accepted papers.
