This guide models the entire lifecycle of academic conference submissions, detailing stages like bidding, review writing, author response, and decision-making. It helps researchers strategically plan their work to maximize impact, preemptively address potential weaknesses, and optimize their research communication strategy in a competitive academic environment.

This comprehensive pre-upload audit guide ensures submissions meet the strict technical and anonymity requirements for UAI OpenReview. It covers critical aspects like the 8-page main body constraint, combining all content into a single PDF, handling file size caps (15MB/50MB), and performing an identity sweep to maintain double-blind review standards.

This guide outlines the crucial, multi-stage process of converting a conditionally accepted academic paper into the final, publishable camera-ready version for top-tier conferences. It covers fulfilling rebuttal promises, meeting strict ACM accessibility standards (e.g., alt text for every figure and table), managing the ACM TAPS workflow, and finalizing all technical and logistical assets.

Provides comprehensive guidelines for designing rigorous technical evaluations for interactive systems, specifically tailored for top-tier venues like UIST. It emphasizes matching evaluation methods to specific artifact claims, reporting distributions over means, closing the interaction loop, and performing thorough ablations against real-world baselines. This framework ensures the scientific rigor and credibility of submitted research.

This skill acts as a comprehensive guide for authors targeting the USENIX Symposium on Networked Systems Design and Implementation (NSDI). It helps authors assess the fit of their research in networked, distributed, or cloud systems, providing strategic advice on paper reframing, required levels of evidence (e.g., real-scale deployment), and accurate positioning relative to closely related conferences like OSDI and SIGCOMM. It is a critical tool for optimizing conference submission chances.

A comprehensive guide detailing the mandatory and optional evaluation phases for academic security artifacts, such as those required for USENIX Security. It covers Phase-1 (availability) checks and Phase-2 (functionality, reproducibility) requirements. Provides best practices for structuring code, managing technical hazards (e.g., dangerous-by-default behavior), and ensuring verifiable, reproducible results for peer review.

This detailed guide helps researchers determine the optimal top-tier venue (e.g., USENIX Security, IEEE S&P, ACM CCS) for their security research paper. It emphasizes that venue selection must be based on the committee's core expertise and the existence of reusable artifacts, measurements, or systems evidence, ensuring the work has the necessary technical depth to succeed.

A comprehensive checklist for authors preparing an accepted IEEE VIS paper for the final camera-ready journal submission (IEEE TVCG). It guides authors through critical steps including de-anonymizing the work, applying the correct journal template, completing comprehensive metadata (ORCID, DOI), integrating required revisions, and ensuring all open materials are permanently linked to public archival DOIs.

A comprehensive audit guide for submitting full papers to IEEE VIS. It covers the complex, multi-stage submission process, requiring authors to adhere to journal-quality standards (IEEE TVCG). The guide details the strict deadlines for abstracts, full papers, and supplemental materials, along with critical mechanics like the 9+2 page budget, proper society/track selection, and advanced double-blind anonymization techniques.

This comprehensive guide outlines the rigorous, multi-step process required for authors to finalize and submit their accepted papers for VLDB proceedings. It covers essential technical compliance points, including using the correct volume template, ensuring PDF/A compliance with embedded fonts, adhering to figure legibility rules, and detailing the permanent storage of research artifacts (DOI-backed). It also outlines the associated conference presentation obligations.

This comprehensive guide teaches researchers how to conduct an exhaustive "reinvention audit" for academic papers, specifically in the database field. It covers searching deep historical literature (pre-2000), modern conference venues (SIGMOD, ICDE), and industrial open-source systems (PostgreSQL, RocksDB) to ensure true novelty and properly position the contribution delta.

This comprehensive guide outlines the rigorous standards required for achieving experimental reproducibility in systems research papers (e.g., VLDB). It instructs authors on disclosing critical context, including hardware specifications, software configurations, data provenance, workload patterns, and handling measurement variance. Adhering to these guidelines ensures that all performance claims are fully traceable from raw data to published figures, meeting the highest standards of academic review.
