This guide provides comprehensive guidelines for designing, conducting, and auditing empirical studies in software engineering. It emphasizes achieving scientific rigor by matching every claim to specific, measured evidence, ensuring fair baselining (equal budget), and applying appropriate advanced statistics (non-parametric tests, effect sizes). Essential reading for researchers submitting papers based on performance evaluations.

This guide helps researchers determine the optimal conference or journal venue for their software engineering contribution. It specifically addresses whether the core of the work is a testing or analysis technique evaluated on real subjects (ISSTA), or if it fits better within broader Software Engineering (ICSE/FSE), formal verification (PLDI/CAV), or applied domains.

A guide for authors submitting to theoretical computer science venues (ITCS). It strictly defines what constitutes valid evidence for a mathematical claim, emphasizing that complete proofs are paramount. The guidelines detail how to use worked examples, separating objects, and appropriately scoped computations, while strongly advising against using empirical benchmarks or performance metrics.

A comprehensive guide for authors preparing submissions for the ITCS conference. It details the required format, the two-step submission deadlines (abstract vs. full paper), and critical steps for ensuring the manuscript is fully self-defending, correctly anonymized, and meets the standards for a lightweight, double-blind review process.

This guide details the crucial rules for structuring a scientific paper submitted to conferences like ITCS. It dictates how content—including main theorems, proofs, and motivation—must be distributed across three locations: the main body, the submitted appendix, and the external full version (arXiv). The core principle ensures that all decision-critical evidence for accepting the paper resides within the submitted PDF, preventing reviewers from relying on external or unread preprints.

A comprehensive guide detailing the entire academic life cycle for submitting to ITCS. It outlines the critical single annual cycle—from abstract submission in early September through review, notification, and final conference presentation in January. Learn how to plan backward from the deadline, especially focusing on strategies for the no-rebuttal format, ensuring your paper preemptively answers reviewer objections.

This guide provides comprehensive style guidelines for submitting articles to the Journal of the American Academy of Religion (JAAR). It specifically instructs authors on converting traditional footnote-based citations to the required in-text author-date system. Key areas covered include formatting the alphabetized, year-keyed reference list, handling primary-source texts, and adhering to house conventions like italicizing foreign words.

This comprehensive guide outlines the strategic approach for authors revising an academic article following a 'revise-and-resubmit' (R&R) decision. It teaches how to synthesize conflicting feedback from diverse reviewers (e.g., textual scholars, theorists, ethnographers), ensuring every comment is addressed point-by-point. The goal is to strengthen the argument while protecting the core field significance and maintaining scholarly anonymity.

This guide outlines the rigorous standards for handling primary sources, evidence, and field data in humanities scholarship, particularly in religious studies. It provides detailed methodologies for citing original texts, establishing provenance, managing translations, and integrating fieldwork ethics, ensuring academic claims are well-situated and defensible without relying on quantitative statistics.

This guide helps scholars determine if their research project is suitable for major, generalist journals like the Journal of the American Academy of Religion (JAAR). It teaches how to move beyond local or specialized topics by reframing the significance to contribute broadly to the field of religious studies.

This skill acts as the central orchestrator for writing and submitting manuscripts to the Journal of the American Academy of Religion (JAAR). It guides authors through the entire writing lifecycle, emphasizing the critical 'reframing test' to ensure the work addresses issues of broad, fundamental interest to the study of religion, rather than remaining confined to a narrow subfield. It provides a structured path from initial idea generation to final submission and revision.

This guide provides a rigorous framework for developing robust, theory-driven hypotheses in accounting research, especially for high-impact academic journals. It teaches researchers how to transition from observing mere correlations to formulating hypotheses grounded in established economic theories, such as agency theory, information economics, and positive accounting theory. The process emphasizes identifying the core economic friction, naming the acting agents and their incentives, and deriving directional, falsifiable, and a priori predictions.
