Furthermore, no paper substantially similar in content has been or will be submitted to another conference or workshop during the review period (October 22 – December 18, 2019). The authors also attest that they did not submit substantially similar submissions to ISBI 2020. Violation of any of these conditions will lead to rejection.

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 2020 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.
