Submissions are invited in two formats: short papers (4 pages, including references) or long papers (8 pages of content plus 2 pages for references). Accepted long papers will be included in the workshop proceedings, which will be published under the CCIS Springer Nature series. Consequently, submissions for long papers must adhere strictly to the Springer CCIS format to ensure consistency across the proceedings.

The MICCAI meets Africa Workshop review process will be double-blind; authors are therefore required to anonymize their submissions to prevent identification. Each submission will be rigorously reviewed by at least three external reviewers to assess its suitability for the workshop program.

Accepted short and long papers can be submitted to preprint repositories such as arxiv. Authors can post the submitted version to arxiv, but cannot post the camera-ready version published under Springer CCIS to arxiv during the publication embargo period, according to Springer’s License to Publish. Authors can include a link to the CCIS version on arxiv when the SpringerLink becomes available. See Accepted Papers for more information on publishing papers in the workshop proceedings.

Submission Instructions

Authors are required to submit their papers electronically, adhering strictly to the Springer CCIS style guidelines. Templates for LaTeX and MS Word are available on the Communications in Computer and Information Science website. Modifications to the template are not allowed, and failure to comply with these formatting guidelines will result in the paper's rejection.
