Dear all,
I'm pleased to share the CFP for a special issue of the Machine learning and Knowledge Extraction (MAKE) journal "Women in Machine Learning 2018".
http://www.mdpi.com/journal/make/special_issues/womenML
The last year has been a year in which many of the challenges of being a woman in technology, or a woman in STEMM more broadly, have risen strongly to the surface. Women in heavily male-majority disciplines may face unconscious or conscious biases in the path to seeing their work appreciated; for researchers, female authors are under-represented in high profile publication venues (https://doi.org/10.1101/275362) – particularly journals, where reviewing is generally not blind to the author names.
In this special issue, we aim to highlight the strength of the contributions that have been made by women in machine learning research and to give a special publication opportunity to these women. The key requirements for consideration for publication are:
A female-identifying first author -OR- a female-identifying senior author (e.g. group/laboratory head); both would be great, and an all-female author list even better.
Topics may include
* original machine learning methods, or
* novel applications of machine learning methods.
All submissions will be rigorously peer-reviewed.
The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication of the manuscripts will be waived for accepted manuscripts submitted to this issue.
I am looking forward to receiving your contribution!
Best regards,
Karin Verspoor
