Often as professional scientists who publish for a living, we have to face the question of novelty. As the questions we ask are often living in the liminal space of technology, clinical practice and social norms, it's not an easy task to determine what really novelty is. Yet if you take the comments of reviewers seriously as an early career researcher, you might get an imposter syndrome that everyone but you clearly understands what novelty is. We will have a deep discussion about how we can contextualize novelty within AI-READY Healthcare.
