VIRTUAL PARTICIPATION
In addition to the oral and posters presentations, a Virtual Participation mode has been established for those researchers who are unable to attend the Conference personally. These participants will be requested to send "virtual papers", which will be exhibited at the online platform for virtual participation. These papers can be prepared using Power Point, Flash or similar software, or video recordings. Please consult the conference website for details.

PUBLICATIONS

- Abstract Book: a Book of Abstracts will be published including all abstracts of works presented in the Conference. It will be distributed among all participants at the beginning of the Conference and dispatched to virtual participants after it.

- Proceedings Book/ International Journals special issues: conference participants can submit manuscripts to be considered for publication either in the Conference Proceedings Book or in the special issues of the journals with which the Conference will agree their publication. Authors must select only one of these two publication options (submission of full papers is optional)

The Proceedings Book will be published in 2010 by World Scientific Publishing Group.

Full papers published in the International Journals collaborating with BioMicrowold2009 will go through a standard scientific review process. This means that each paper will be strictly reviewed and treated as a regular paper since our goal is to produce high quality and high impact special issues based on some of the best conference papers.
