Tutorial on How to review scientific papers

A tutorial for researchers, scholars, and students who just started their PhD (or finishing MSc) and want to gain more insights on the reviewing process and guidelines towards the preparation of high-quality reviews.

Based on my personal experience, the tutorial focuses on reviewing for international conferences and journals related to computer vision, image processing, pattern recognition, multimedia, and robotics.

Aims of the tutorial include:
- understanding the reviewer role and reviewing process as an intermediate step for better writing research papers,
- mindset shift to be the reviewer of your own papers and colleague papers, and
- how to structure constructive and polite feedback for high-quality reviews with two 4-page published papers as examples.

The tutorial includes tips and guidelines from existing resources in journals, conferences, and blogs.

The tutorial was originally delivered as a 2-session seminar to a research group in Queen Mary University of London (U.K.) in March and April 2023, followed by a throughout and individual feedback on the written reviews.
