Integrating scientific cultures

Abstract: Two communities, two culturesA key challenge of Systems Biology is that it must integrate several disciplines, each with a very different culture for disseminating results.Within biology, manuscripts describing new work are almost always published in peer-reviewed periodicals.In contrast, within computer science and the engineering fields, new methods and results are typically presented as full-length papers at meetings and workshops.Just as journals have Editorial Boards that handle review of manuscripts, such conferences assemble large and reputable Program Committees, which fulfill the same purpose.Publication in the best conferences, as for the best journals, is highly competitive.
