Aims & Scope

All living things, animals and plants, even single-cell organisms, depend on their intrinsic electrical properties to function and to survive. The field of bioelectricity was borne from work on so-called ‘excitable cells’ (nerves and muscles) and it is now accepted that every biological cell has electrical properties which are essential for their normal functioning and homeostatic balance. Consequently, abnormalities in cellular bioelectricity are disruptive and can lead to serious disease. Furthermore, living things respond to external electric fields and a huge range of applications can exploit the body’s electricity in medicine, biomedicine and in industry including those related to food and environment. Large magnitude external electric fields can be applied to manipulate proteins and/or membrane structures in living cells (e.g. membrane electroporation/electropermeabilization, electrotransfer or pulse electric fields). These fields may profoundly modify the cell physiology and can be utilized for multiple applications affecting microbial, animal and plant cells.  Bioelectricity is an exciting and dynamic focal point for the growing bioelectricity community and serves as the go-to resource driving the field forward. The journal publishes the highest quality research papers across the multiplicity of subject areas encompassed by bioelectricity through original research articles, reviews, perspectives, technical notes and several extra features. The latter include the Bioelectricity Buzz, which reports on recent activities in the field, and My Experiments in Bioelectricity. The latter are written by senior scientists by invitation and highlight some of their key conceptual experiments mixed with anecdotes (the kinds of stories, experiences and those 'eureka' moments that would not be known in the field generally).

We welcome original research papers on any aspect of bioelectricity in life sciences, biomedicine, biotechnology, and bioengineering, including original research in any organism - translational, clinical, and applied. Areas of interest include (but are not limited to) the following:

Bioelectric Mechanisms:

• Cellular signaling, electrophysiology
• Ion channels, exchangers, pumps, and macromolecular complexes
• Channelopathies (including cancer)
• Bioelectric fields
• Development
• Microbiology
• Regeneration

Practical Applications:

• Bioengineering
• Bioelectronics
• Medical, biomedical devices
• Electropharmaceuticals, electroceuticals
• Nanotechnology
• Regenerative medicine
• Synthetic biology
• Tissue engineering
• Transplantation
• Optogenetics
• Microbial fuel cells
• Simulation software and mathematical models
• Electroporation/electropermeabilization/electrotransfer in biology and medicine
• Electroporation/electropermeabilization/Pulsed Electric Fields in plants, food industry and environment-related industries

We appreciate that authors wish their papers to be evaluated as soon as possible. Bioelectricity has maintained an average time to first decision of three weeks, thanks to our reviewers and editors. The journal is published quarterly, and every other issue is ‘special’ dedicated to a single theme. Please contact the editors with your ideas if you wish to guest-edit a special issue. Bioelectricity is led by Co-Editors-in-Chief Mustafa B A Djamgoz, PhD and  Michael Levin, PhD.

The Thirty-Eighth Annual Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS 2024) is an interdisciplinary conference that brings together researchers in machine learning, neuroscience, statistics, optimization, computer vision, natural language processing, life sciences, natural sciences, social sciences, and other adjacent fields. We invite submissions presenting new and original research on topics including but not limited to the following:

• Applications (e.g., vision, language, speech and audio, Creative AI)
• Deep learning (e.g., architectures, generative models, optimization for deep networks, foundation models, LLMs)
• Evaluation (e.g., methodology, meta studies, replicability and validity, human-in-the-loop)
• General machine learning (supervised, unsupervised, online, active, etc.)
• Infrastructure (e.g., libraries, improved implementation and scalability, distributed solutions)
• Machine learning for sciences (e.g. climate, health, life sciences, physics, social sciences)
• Neuroscience and cognitive science (e.g., neural coding, brain-computer interfaces)
• Optimization (e.g., convex and non-convex, stochastic, robust)
• Probabilistic methods (e.g., variational inference, causal inference, Gaussian processes)
• Reinforcement learning (e.g., decision and control, planning, hierarchical RL, robotics)
• Social and economic aspects of machine learning (e.g., fairness, interpretability, human-AI interaction, privacy, safety, strategic behavior)
• Theory (e.g., control theory, learning theory, algorithmic game theory)

Machine learning is a rapidly evolving field, and so we welcome interdisciplinary submissions that do not fit neatly into existing categories.

Authors are asked to confirm that their submissions accord with the NeurIPS code of conduct .

Formatting instructions:   All submissions must be in PDF format, and in a single PDF file include, in this order:

• The submitted paper
• Technical appendices that support the paper with additional proofs, derivations, or results 
• The NeurIPS paper checklist  

Other supplementary materials such as data and code can be uploaded as a ZIP file

The main text of a submitted paper is limited to nine content pages , including all figures and tables. Additional pages containing references don’t count as content pages. If your submission is accepted, you will be allowed an additional content page for the camera-ready version.

The main text and references may be followed by technical appendices, for which there is no page limit.

The maximum file size for a full submission, which includes technical appendices, is 50MB.

Authors are encouraged to submit a separate ZIP file that contains further supplementary material like data or source code, when applicable.

You must format your submission using the NeurIPS 2024 LaTeX style file which includes a “preprint” option for non-anonymous preprints posted online. Submissions that violate the NeurIPS style (e.g., by decreasing margins or font sizes) or page limits may be rejected without further review. Papers may be rejected without consideration of their merits if they fail to meet the submission requirements, as described in this document. 

Paper checklist: In order to improve the rigor and transparency of research submitted to and published at NeurIPS, authors are required to complete a paper checklist . The paper checklist is intended to help authors reflect on a wide variety of issues relating to responsible machine learning research, including reproducibility, transparency, research ethics, and societal impact. The checklist forms part of the paper submission, but does not count towards the page limit.

Supplementary material: While all technical appendices should be included as part of the main paper submission PDF, authors may submit up to 100MB of supplementary material, such as data, or source code in a ZIP format. Supplementary material should be material created by the authors that directly supports the submission content. Like submissions, supplementary material must be anonymized. Looking at supplementary material is at the discretion of the reviewers.

We encourage authors to upload their code and data as part of their supplementary material in order to help reviewers assess the quality of the work. Check the policy as well as code submission guidelines and templates for further details.

Use of Large Language Models (LLMs): We welcome authors to use any tool that is suitable for preparing high-quality papers and research. However, we ask authors to keep in mind two important criteria. First, we expect papers to fully describe their methodology, and any tool that is important to that methodology, including the use of LLMs, should be described also. For example, authors should mention tools (including LLMs) that were used for data processing or filtering, visualization, facilitating or running experiments, and proving theorems. It may also be advisable to describe the use of LLMs in implementing the method (if this corresponds to an important, original, or non-standard component of the approach). Second, authors are responsible for the entire content of the paper, including all text and figures, so while authors are welcome to use any tool they wish for writing the paper, they must ensure that all text is correct and original.

Double-blind reviewing:   All submissions must be anonymized and may not contain any identifying information that may violate the double-blind reviewing policy.  This policy applies to any supplementary or linked material as well, including code.  If you are including links to any external material, it is your responsibility to guarantee anonymous browsing.  Please do not include acknowledgements at submission time. If you need to cite one of your own papers, you should do so with adequate anonymization to preserve double-blind reviewing.  For instance, write “In the previous work of Smith et al. [1]…” rather than “In our previous work [1]...”). If you need to cite one of your own papers that is in submission to NeurIPS and not available as a non-anonymous preprint, then include a copy of the cited anonymized submission in the supplementary material and write “Anonymous et al. [1] concurrently show...”). Any papers found to be violating this policy will be rejected.

OpenReview: We are using OpenReview to manage submissions. The reviews and author responses will not be public initially (but may be made public later, see below). As in previous years, submissions under review will be visible only to their assigned program committee. We will not be soliciting comments from the general public during the reviewing process. Anyone who plans to submit a paper as an author or a co-author will need to create (or update) their OpenReview profile by the full paper submission deadline. Your OpenReview profile can be edited by logging in and clicking on your name in https://openreview.net/ . This takes you to a URL "https://openreview.net/profile?id=~[Firstname]_[Lastname][n]" where the last part is your profile name, e.g., ~Wei_Zhang1. The OpenReview profiles must be up to date, with all publications by the authors, and their current affiliations. The easiest way to import publications is through DBLP but it is not required, see FAQ . Submissions without updated OpenReview profiles will be desk rejected. The information entered in the profile is critical for ensuring that conflicts of interest and reviewer matching are handled properly. Because of the rapid growth of NeurIPS, we request that all authors help with reviewing papers, if asked to do so. We need everyone’s help in maintaining the high scientific quality of NeurIPS.  

Please be aware that OpenReview has a moderation policy for newly created profiles: New profiles created without an institutional email will go through a moderation process that can take up to two weeks. New profiles created with an institutional email will be activated automatically.

If you have any questions, please refer to the FAQ: https://openreview.net/faq

Ethics review: Reviewers and ACs may flag submissions for ethics review . Flagged submissions will be sent to an ethics review committee for comments. Comments from ethics reviewers will be considered by the primary reviewers and AC as part of their deliberation. They will also be visible to authors, who will have an opportunity to respond.  Ethics reviewers do not have the authority to reject papers, but in extreme cases papers may be rejected by the program chairs on ethical grounds, regardless of scientific quality or contribution.  

Preprints: The existence of non-anonymous preprints (on arXiv or other online repositories, personal websites, social media) will not result in rejection. If you choose to use the NeurIPS style for the preprint version, you must use the “preprint” option rather than the “final” option. Reviewers will be instructed not to actively look for such preprints, but encountering them will not constitute a conflict of interest. Authors may submit anonymized work to NeurIPS that is already available as a preprint (e.g., on arXiv) without citing it. Note that public versions of the submission should not say "Under review at NeurIPS" or similar.

Dual submissions: Submissions that are substantially similar to papers that the authors have previously published or submitted in parallel to other peer-reviewed venues with proceedings or journals may not be submitted to NeurIPS. Papers previously presented at workshops are permitted, so long as they did not appear in a conference proceedings (e.g., CVPRW proceedings), a journal or a book.  NeurIPS coordinates with other conferences to identify dual submissions.  The NeurIPS policy on dual submissions applies for the entire duration of the reviewing process.  Slicing contributions too thinly is discouraged.  The reviewing process will treat any other submission by an overlapping set of authors as prior work. If publishing one would render the other too incremental, both may be rejected.

Anti-collusion: NeurIPS does not tolerate any collusion whereby authors secretly cooperate with reviewers, ACs or SACs to obtain favorable reviews. 

Author responses:   Authors will have one week to view and respond to initial reviews. Author responses may not contain any identifying information that may violate the double-blind reviewing policy. Authors may not submit revisions of their paper or supplemental material, but may post their responses as a discussion in OpenReview. This is to reduce the burden on authors to have to revise their paper in a rush during the short rebuttal period.

After the initial response period, authors will be able to respond to any further reviewer/AC questions and comments by posting on the submission’s forum page. The program chairs reserve the right to solicit additional reviews after the initial author response period.  These reviews will become visible to the authors as they are added to OpenReview, and authors will have a chance to respond to them.

After the notification deadline, accepted and opted-in rejected papers will be made public and open for non-anonymous public commenting. Their anonymous reviews, meta-reviews, author responses and reviewer responses will also be made public. Authors of rejected papers will have two weeks after the notification deadline to opt in to make their deanonymized rejected papers public in OpenReview.  These papers are not counted as NeurIPS publications and will be shown as rejected in OpenReview.

Publication of accepted submissions:   Reviews, meta-reviews, and any discussion with the authors will be made public for accepted papers (but reviewer, area chair, and senior area chair identities will remain anonymous). Camera-ready papers will be due in advance of the conference. All camera-ready papers must include a funding disclosure . We strongly encourage accompanying code and data to be submitted with accepted papers when appropriate, as per the code submission policy . Authors will be allowed to make minor changes for a short period of time after the conference.

Contemporaneous Work: For the purpose of the reviewing process, papers that appeared online within two months of a submission will generally be considered "contemporaneous" in the sense that the submission will not be rejected on the basis of the comparison to contemporaneous work. Authors are still expected to cite and discuss contemporaneous work and perform empirical comparisons to the degree feasible. Any paper that influenced the submission is considered prior work and must be cited and discussed as such. Submissions that are very similar to contemporaneous work will undergo additional scrutiny to prevent cases of plagiarism and missing credit to prior work.

Plagiarism is prohibited by the NeurIPS Code of Conduct .

Other Tracks: Similarly to earlier years, we will host multiple tracks, such as datasets, competitions, tutorials as well as workshops, in addition to the main track for which this call for papers is intended. See the conference homepage for updates and calls for participation in these tracks. 

Experiments: As in past years, the program chairs will be measuring the quality and effectiveness of the review process via randomized controlled experiments. All experiments are independently reviewed and approved by an Institutional Review Board (IRB).

Financial Aid: Each paper may designate up to one (1) NeurIPS.cc account email address of a corresponding student author who confirms that they would need the support to attend the conference, and agrees to volunteer if they get selected. To be considered for Financial the student will also need to fill out the Financial Aid application when it becomes available.

In this paper, a novel high-performance bismuth-free ZnO varistor ceramic was developed involving only three doping elements: Sr, Co and Sb. To specifically study the role of each element in improving electrical properties, a stepwise research method was used for this novel ceramic employing the binary system of Zn–Sr, ternary system of Zn–Sr–Co and quaternary system of Zn–Sr–Co–Sb. Consequently, a possible mechanism corresponding to each doping element is proposed in this work. Moreover, excellent comprehensive properties consisting of a high nonlinear coefficient α of 74.30, ultra-low leakage current I L of 0.29 μA cm −2 and low breakdown voltage gradient E 1mA of 361.02 V mm −1 are exhibited in the quaternary Zn–Sr–Co–Sb varistor ceramic, which are superior to most advanced ZnO varistors with fewer dopants. This novel quaternary ZnO varistor ceramic without expensive, volatile, deliquescent and toxic dopants exhibits sustainability, environmental friendliness, low cost and high volume development, providing a new perspective for the design of novel high-performance bismuth-free ZnO varistor ceramics.

RESEARCH PAPER: Infoblox SOC Insights – Enabling Higher Levels of Security Through DNS

Security professionals face growing complexities created by multi-cloud and hybrid OT and IT infrastructure deployments. A highly disaggregated architectural approach leveraging cloud scale has proven advantages in accelerating digital transformation through gains in operational agility and flexibility. However, it also introduces many challenges – the most glaring one being a dramatically expanded threat surface that must be defended. The heterogeneous nature of cloud networking architectures also contributes to poor observability among clouds. Consequently, enterprises must embrace new security operational models that can provide higher levels of visibility to keep pace with an ever-increasing threat landscape perpetuated by bad actors that hope to leverage AI to their advantage.
