How to contribute
The participation process will consist of the following phases:
- Paper proposal: authors submit abstracts of the papers they intend to write along with the original JOWO publication for consideration.

Paper proposals will be selected based on paper impact, publication year, topic relevance, and workshop diversity. Authors may submit multiple proposals, but no more than one first-authored paper will be selected.
