This comprehensive guide details the professional process for authors responding to external peer review feedback and preparing a revised manuscript. It teaches how to structure a detailed, point-by-point response, effectively address critiques using data and evidence, differentiate between accepted, clarified, and retained points, and maintain the utmost academic etiquette during the revision cycle.

This comprehensive guide details the critical 'Camera-Ready' stage for manuscripts accepted by *Scientia Sinica Informationis* (SSI). It provides authors with a detailed checklist, covering everything from correcting citations, formatting figures, and reviewing references, to completing administrative tasks like copyright agreements and paying publication fees. Use this guide to ensure your final submission is flawless and ready for professional publication.

Provides comprehensive guidelines for writing the "Related Work" and literature review sections for high-level academic publications. It emphasizes demonstrating the paper's unique contribution (delta) by organizing literature along technical threads, ensuring balanced coverage of domestic and international sources, and understanding the distinct requirements for regular papers versus specialized review commentary.

Provides a comprehensive guide to the peer-review process for high-impact academic journals. This guide meticulously details every stage, from initial submission through external review, revision, to final acceptance. It helps authors understand the specific criteria, such as scientific value, innovation, and rigor, and outlines actionable steps to optimize manuscript quality and manage publishing expectations.

This guide outlines the essential principles for structuring scientific manuscripts submitted to academic journals. It details how to correctly allocate core evidence, lengthy proofs, additional experiments, and multimedia content across the main text, appendices, and supplementary materials. The core principle emphasized is that all evidence crucial for judging the paper's scientific contribution must reside within the main body text.

This guide provides a comprehensive framework for researchers to assess the scientific value, originality, and scope of their research findings. It helps determine if a topic is suitable for high-level journals like Scientia Sinica Informationis (SSI), guides the choice between Chinese and English versions, and advises on the appropriate journal fit and article column (e.g., Review, Paper, Letter). Ideal for pre-submission planning and refining research focus.

A comprehensive guide tailored for authors submitting manuscripts to *Scientia Sinica Informationis* (SSI). It details the mandatory high-impact structural arc (Problem, Gap, Contribution, Evidence, Significance), covers dual-language abstract requirements, and specifies rigorous formatting rules for units, variables, and citations, ensuring adherence to top-tier academic standards.

This guide provides a comprehensive strategy for authors submitting to top theoretical computing conferences (like STOC). It covers best practices for pre-emptive objection handling, structuring the main submission to anticipate critiques, responding effectively to chair-mediated technical clarifications, and planning the subsequent resubmission memo for maximum impact.

This guide clarifies the role of computation in theoretical computer science submissions, particularly for venues that prioritize theorems over empirical data. It distinguishes between legitimate forms of evidence—such as certified proof steps, constructive object discoveries, and illustrative examples—and inappropriate performance benchmarking. It helps researchers structure their work to align with theorem-based research, ensuring computational elements enhance the core theoretical contribution.

A comprehensive guide for authors writing theoretical computer science papers. It details how to position a result within the existing academic lineage, ensuring rigorous citation practices, managing version discrepancies (preprint vs. journal), and honestly comparing bounds against prior work. Essential for meeting the high standards of top-tier conferences like STOC.

This guide details best practices for structuring supplementary material in highly technical academic submissions (e.g., STOC). It teaches authors how to design an appendix that facilitates selective verification by reviewers, ensuring that complex proofs, deferred results, and extended discussions are navigable. Key techniques include optimizing the Table of Contents, maintaining strict pointer discipline, and distinguishing between material required for core understanding versus material saved for the full version.

This guide helps researchers evaluate the scope and general significance of their theoretical computer science work. It introduces the 'breadth test' (corridor, lineage, technique) and a detailed routing map to advise whether the paper is best suited for a flagship, broad-scope venue like STOC, or a more specialized conference (e.g., SODA, ITCS, CCC). It provides a structured decision procedure for optimizing academic publication success.
