Summary of what happened:

Hi folks, I am new to qsiprep, when I run qsiprep to process my anat and dwi data, I got some warnings (“This document format requires a nonempty element. Please specify either ‘title’ or ‘pagetitle’ in the metadata. Falling back to ‘CITATION’”), and I am wondering why this warning happens?

Hi @harrison-huan-liu,

This warning is not anything to worry about. It is just something that pertains to compiling the citation boilerplate document.

Best,
