This guide helps researchers determine if their project qualifies as a visualization contribution (beyond general HCI or ML). It provides structured criteria for choosing the best conference venue (e.g., IEEE VIS, EuroVis, CHI) and mapping the work to one of the six core visualization areas based on contribution type and evidence maturity.

This guide outlines the methodology for preparing research artifacts for rigorous academic reproducibility evaluations, such as those run by VLDB/SIGMOD. It details the required components—including prototype code, input data, workloads, and analysis scripts—to structure a comprehensive package. The goal is to ensure that any external evaluator can independently and flawlessly rebuild and validate all claimed results, maximizing the chances of winning reproducibility awards.

A comprehensive checklist and guide for authors submitting research papers to PVLDB (Proceedings of the VLDB Endowment). This resource details critical steps, including adherence to multiple deadlines (abstract, full paper), category budget selection, single-blind formatting rules, and author co-contribution caps, ensuring submissions avoid desk rejection.

A rigorous checklist and guide for conducting causal inference in development economics, specifically tailored to the high standards of top-tier journals like The World Bank Economic Review (WBER). It covers advanced econometric designs (RCT, DiD, RD, IV), focusing not just on estimation but on defining the estimand, addressing external validity, general equilibrium effects, and translating local findings into actionable policy recommendations.

A comprehensive guide for researchers handling academic revisions after receiving a journal decision letter (R&R). It teaches how to triage critical feedback from multiple referees, prioritize the editor's synthesis, structure detailed point-by-point responses using quantitative evidence, and sequence the revision work to maximize the chances of publication.

A comprehensive guide for assembling a reproducible data and code package for publishing economic manuscripts, specialized for World Bank Economic Review (WBER) standards. It details best practices for data availability statements, handling restricted microdata, pinning software versions, and ensuring full transparency throughout the analysis pipeline.

A comprehensive guide for submitting manuscripts to The World Bank Economic Review (WBER). It covers critical pre-submission checks, including adherence to the 40-page limit, single-anonymization rules, required data availability statements with DOIs, and correct formatting (PDF, double-spaced, Times New Roman). Use this checklist before submitting via ManuscriptCentral to ensure your paper meets the journal's strict formatting and policy requirements, minimizing the risk of immediate return.

Provides comprehensive guidelines for designing and auditing academic tables and figures, specifically for development economics journals. It teaches how to translate statistical coefficients into actionable policy magnitudes, validate research design (e.g., balance checks, pre-trends), and adhere to strict page limits while maintaining clarity for both economists and policymakers.

Provides comprehensive guidelines for packaging and submitting research artifacts (datasets, models, code) for major conferences. It details the difference between mere 'existence' (badge verification) and true academic 'reproducibility,' covering archival strategies, web data licensing, takedown resilience, and minimal viable package structure for long-term scholarly impact.

A comprehensive guide for authors submitting papers to web conferences. It details how to structure empirical claims, ensuring evidence matches the claim's scope (scale, freshness, generalizability). The guide covers avoiding methodological flaws like temporal or popularity leakage, selecting datasets with proper provenance, and performing rigorous ablations and statistical analysis for maximum academic rigor.

A comprehensive guide for ensuring the scientific reproducibility of research papers that rely on dynamic web data, such as web crawls, platform APIs, or live system traffic. It defines three reproducibility regimes (Frozen, Decaying, Unreplayable) and provides detailed instructions on documenting data decay, temporal splits, environment configurations, and computational seeds to maintain the rigor of published findings.

This skill is a specialized guide used by authors to evaluate the fit and required rigor for submitting development economics manuscripts to the World Bank Economic Review (WBER). It assesses the manuscript's alignment with the journal's focus on policy-relevant empirical micro and macro research, covering methodological standards (RCTs, IV, DiD), required policy framing, and structural formatting.
