A crucial guide for authors preparing for PODC (Proofs venue). It corrects the common misconception that runnable artifacts or badges are required. Instead, it redirects focus to the three core areas of evaluation: ensuring proof completeness, establishing model rigor by declaring all assumptions, and maintaining transparency for optional simulations.

This guide outlines the stringent structural requirements for writing papers on distributed systems theory, specifically for top-tier conferences like PODC. It details how to front-load the core arguments, define the model box rigorously (network, timing, fault model), structure proofs logically, and ensure the key results are visible within the critical first 10 pages.

This comprehensive guide outlines the requirements for submitting computational artifacts for post-acceptance evaluation at PPoPP. It details PPoPP's unique badge policy (Functional, Reusable, Results Reproduced), addresses the challenges of ensuring results reproduce across different hardware architectures, and provides a detailed packaging plan, including containerization, README structure, and provenance documentation for maximizing reproducibility.

A comprehensive deep dive into the PPoPP conference review pipeline. This guide models the single-round, double-blind review process, detailing how submissions are evaluated by the Program Committee and External Review Committee. It covers critical aspects such as the author response rebuttal, automatic poster consideration, and the specific technical axes reviewers prioritize (e.g., scalability, concurrency correctness, baseline honesty) for parallel programming research.

A comprehensive guide on transforming clean, empirical coefficients into theoretically robust and broadly impactful economic arguments. It teaches how to construct the necessary conceptual framework, articulating the underlying mechanism and connecting estimates to welfare or policy outcomes, suitable for high-impact academic publications.

This tool guides researchers through pressure-testing their economic research ideas against the standards of top-tier, general-interest journals (like QJE). It helps diagnose whether a study's 'big idea' and broad implications are compelling enough, ensuring the focus is on the general lesson rather than just the technical method or narrow finding. Ideal for structuring academic arguments and improving manuscript scope.

This guide outlines the standards for creating publication-quality tables and figures for economics journals, particularly adhering to the rigorous 'REStat' house style. It ensures that the main findings are legible in a single, self-contained exhibit, emphasizing standard errors, clear notes, and load-bearing visualizations.

This guide provides rigorous best practices for developing and presenting theoretical economic models for top-tier journals. It emphasizes framing results with a clear economic payoff, maintaining minimal model setups, and ensuring that complex, full proofs are relegated to the online appendix. The goal is to ensure the primary economic insight remains highly visible and actionable, rather than being buried in algebraic machinery.

A comprehensive guide for packaging robotic research artifacts (code, policies, ledgers, hardware specs) for peer review and public release. It details the necessary steps to ensure maximum reproducibility, auditability, and permanence, covering both anonymous review-time evidence and citable public repositories.

A comprehensive guide for computer graphics researchers detailing how to achieve result-level reproducibility, especially for major conferences like SIGGRAPH. It emphasizes pinning all provenance—including assets, random seeds, hardware stacks, and hyperparameters—and methodologies for handling non-determinism in floating-point math and stochastic simulations, ensuring that the reported figures and timings can be regenerated by any reader.

A detailed project management guide for submitting research papers to major cloud computing conferences like ACM SoCC. This workflow covers the entire lifecycle, from initial venue selection and evidence locking to abstract submission, rebuttal, and final acceptance. It provides critical backward planning heuristics and warns authors about common pitfall areas, such as insufficient measurement rigor or poor anonymity handling.

A comprehensive guide for authors responding to major journal revisions (R&R) in sociology. It provides rigorous, actionable strategies for structuring a professional rebuttal letter, specifically addressing deep academic concerns such as sociological problematic, theoretical dialogue, social mechanisms, and methodological trustworthiness, ensuring responses are evidence-based and academically sound.
