Call for Papers: Special Issue on Computational Science, Data Analytics, and Cybersecurity in Maternal, Sexual, and Reproductive Health

Journal: Journal of Computational Science and Data Analytics

Special Issue Title: Advancements in Computational Science, Data Analytics, and Cybersecurity for Maternal, Sexual, and Reproductive Health

Submission Deadline: January 15, 2025

Publication Date: November 2025

Overview:

The intersection of computational science, data analytics, and cybersecurity is revolutionising healthcare, particularly in the realm of Maternal, Sexual, and Reproductive Health (MSRH). Technological innovations and novel methodologies are enabling more efficient data handling, improved patient outcomes, and enhanced protection of sensitive health information.

This special issue aims to compile groundbreaking research that explores new techniques, tools, and applications within these disciplines, with a specific focus on MSRH. We invite original research articles, reviews, and case studies that contribute to this critical field.

This call specifically targets members and sub-grantees of the Hub for Artificial Intelligence in Maternal, Sexual, and Reproductive Health (HASH) network, participants of the Cybersecurity4D Conference, and all researchers working at the nexus of computational science, data analytics, cybersecurity, and MSRH.
