Class
Project
Your assignment is to write a report summarizing the
application of informatics to one of the biology areas we discuss in
class. Your report should review one aspect of the biological topic,
discuss the informatics issues related to that topic, summarize informatics-related
work that has been done to-date in that area (comparing and contrasting
alternate approaches), and discuss future research directions.
11/9 Deadline
for discussing topic with instructor
11/16 Deadline
for having outline approved by Instructor
12/12 Final paper due
Requirements:
≥
10 pages, as per submission format for JAMIA
* Margins 1 inch all around
* Left justify only
* Double spacing
* Twelve-point Times New Roman font (preferred)
≥
5 primary references; review articles and web sites may be referenced
in addition to these.
Suggested
organization:
Use
headings or subcategories to clarify the organization of your paper
Introduction:
description of the biological topic
Informatics Issues: the issues that arise
Related work: informatics work in the literature to
solve these issues
Conclusions and future directions: what has been accomplished,
what remains to be solved.
References
The
style of references is the Vancouver style as used by Index Medicus. List
all authors when there are six or fewer; otherwise list the first three
followed by et al. Cite sources numerically according to order of citation.
