This 60-minute interactive workshop is designed to equip researchers in improving the quality and acceptance rate of their submissions to scientific journals. 

The session will feature a short introduction to key statistical concepts, followed by an interactive, hands-on discussion of real-life example manuscripts previously submitted to CVIR. These examples will be used to explore common reasons for rejection, typical pitfalls, what constitutes a strong submission, and how to improve clarity, structure, and scientific messaging.

Participants who pre-register will receive the selected manuscripts in advance, allowing them to review the content and prepare for the discussion. Walk-in participants may be accepted if space permits, but advance registration is strongly recommended to secure a spot and get the full benefit of the workshop.

This workshop is free of charge and open to all registered for the JSIR 2025 congress.
