Exciting Workshop Announcement
AI in Research & Publication: From Idea to Manuscript
A practical workshop introducing graduate students to the responsible and effective use of AI throughout the research and publication process, from literature searching and idea development to academic writing, data interpretation, citation checking, and manuscript preparation. The session will also highlight key risks, including fabricated references, unsupported claims, and inappropriate use of AI.
> Registration includes access to all scientific sessions, conference materials, certificate of participation, coffee breaks, and lunch.
> Presenter registration is mandatory for abstract inclusion in the conference proceedings and program.
> Once the abstract is accepted, we will send the participant a payment link.
