This comprehensive guide outlines the rigorous methodology required for designing high-impact evaluations of parallel systems and algorithms for top-tier conferences. It stresses that contributions must demonstrate the 'twin bar': both concurrency correctness (e.g., linearizability) and measurable scalability (e.g., strong vs. weak scaling). It covers best practices for establishing strong baselines, managing measurement hygiene (variance, pinning), and anticipating advanced reviewer scrutiny in HPC.

This guide outlines the necessary steps to ensure that parallel computing performance papers are scientifically reproducible. Since parallel results depend heavily on machine architecture, topology, and runtime conditions, proper documentation must cover everything from CPU/GPU specifications and interconnects to thread pinning policies, random seeds, and compiler flags. The focus is on proving the scaling trend, not just the absolute numbers, allowing results to hold true across different hardware platforms.

This guide helps researchers determine the correct academic venue for their work in parallel and concurrent computing. It clarifies the scope of PPoPP versus related conferences (CGO, PLDI, ASPLOS, HPCA, POPL, etc.) by asking: 'Is the parallelism the point, or is it the setting?' Use this framework to distinguish contributions focused on parallel algorithms, compiler optimization, concurrency theory, or hardware microarchitecture.

This comprehensive guide helps authors assess if their manuscript is a suitable fit for Proceedings of the IEEE. It details the journal's high standards, guiding the transformation of primary research into comprehensive, balanced, and forward-looking review, survey, or tutorial articles. Use this resource to understand the required scope, synthesis depth, and common pitfalls to avoid desk rejection.

This guide helps authors determine if their manuscript is suitable for submission to Progress in Aerospace Sciences. It emphasizes that the journal requires comprehensive, critical review articles that synthesize existing knowledge, rather than presenting original primary research, simulations, or experiments. Use this tool for fit assessment, scope definition, and structural re-framing before submission.

This skill is designed to help authors determine if their manuscript is appropriate for submission to Progress in Energy and Combustion Science. It provides a rigorous checklist for evaluating whether a work meets the journal's high bar for critical synthesis, comprehensiveness, and authority. It guides authors to reframe primary research into an integrative, agenda-setting review, covering scope, method rigor, and specific submission requirements.

This skill guides authors needing to assess the suitability of their research on resource efficiency, waste management, or recycling for the journal Resources, Conservation & Recycling. It provides detailed expectations regarding Material Flow Analysis (MFA), Substance Flow Analysis (SFA), and the necessity of presenting quantified, measurable circularity contributions, ensuring rigorous methodological alignment with the circular economy framework.

Guides drafting the one-page RSS rebuttal for above-threshold papers: invitation triage, 60/25/15 page-budget allocation, factual corrections, scoped concessions, anonymity checks, and resubmission planning when no rebuttal is invited.

A comprehensive guide for ensuring robust scientific reproducibility in robotics research (RSS). It structures evidence into distinct 'Replication Tiers' (e.g., Rerunnable, Auditable), distinguishing between the computational half (code, seeds) and the physical half (robot, environment, human protocol). It mandates the use of platform ledgers and raw trial logs to convert claims of trust into verifiable, auditable evidence.

This skill provides a detailed framework for researchers to determine the most suitable venue (e.g., RSS, ICRA, CoRL, IROS) for their robotics project paper. It teaches how to shift focus from merely demonstrating a system's capabilities to articulating a precise, testable scientific claim, ensuring the work is optimally presented to the target academic community.

This guide provides a comprehensive project management framework for submitting research to major robotics conferences, particularly RSS. It maps out the complex annual cycle, from abstract submission to final presentation, detailing critical deadlines, required milestones (like hardware trials and writing drafts), and fallback options at sibling venues (IROS, CoRL, ICRA). Essential for researchers managing time-sensitive academic pipelines.

This skill provides a detailed guide to the requirements and positioning of Science Robotics (Sci Robot), an AAAS journal. It helps authors determine if their robotics research meets the high bar for broad scientific or societal significance. Key areas covered include demonstrated real-world capability, required quantification of physical performance, AAAS submission structure, and best practices for venue selection, making it essential for authors targeting top-tier journals.
