This comprehensive guide assists reviewers and authors in determining the most appropriate venue for programming language research within the SIGPLAN community. It provides a detailed 'center-of-mass' test, helping categorize contributions based on whether they emphasize metatheory (POPL), performance engineering (PLDI), functional techniques (ICFCP), or the broad design scope characteristic of OOPSLA. It guides the decision-making process for academic submissions.

This skill guides researchers in developing theory-driven research questions specifically tailored for submission to top academic journals, particularly Organization Science. It assesses whether a research idea genuinely focuses on organizational processes, identifies the relevant theoretical conversation, and evaluates the suitability of the chosen academic venue against competitors (e.g., ASQ, AMJ). It ensures the question has a clear contribution source and appropriate level of analysis.

This guide provides expert advice on structuring the "Related Work" section for top-tier systems conferences (like OSDI, SOSP, NSDI). It emphasizes that the section must function as a "difference ledger," detailing the mechanism-level distinctions between your proposed system and all prior art. Learn how to categorize competitors, cite historical ancestors, manage anonymity, and rigorously verify all venue citations to maximize impact.

Provides detailed guidelines for submitting empirical papers to POPL. It teaches authors how to correctly match specific claims (e.g., soundness, precision) with appropriate evidence types (proofs, case studies, effort data). The core principle emphasized is that evidence must demonstrate realizability but never substitute for the formal theorem.

This guide helps researchers determine the optimal venue (like POPL, PLDI, OOPSLA) for their academic papers on programming languages. It advises authors on whether their core contribution is theoretical (proofs, semantics), implementation-focused (compilers, benchmarks), or empirical (user studies), ensuring their work reaches the most appropriate specialized reviewer community.

A comprehensive checklist and guide for authors preparing manuscripts for scholarly submission, specifically for Public Opinion Quarterly (POQ) via ScholarOne. It ensures compliance with double-blind anonymity, specific word count caps, mandatory AAPOR disclosure elements (Appendix A), and proper data archiving protocols (Dataverse). Use this guide as the final critical check before clicking 'Submit'.

A comprehensive guide for researchers detailing how to structure the 'Related Work' section for top-tier parallel computing conferences like PPoPP. It emphasizes 'delta-first' comparison, covering specific technical lanes (concurrent data structures, runtimes, GPU acceleration, memory models), and ensuring proper academic positioning against major parallel systems venues.

Provides a comprehensive guide for authors submitting to the Review of Educational Research (RER). It helps authors anticipate reviewer and editor expectations, framing their work as a significant advance rather than a simple summary. The guide covers rigorous methodological standards, addressing predictable objections (e.g., search incompleteness, coding reliability) and ensuring the manuscript is appropriately positioned relative to other academic venues.

This comprehensive guide assists researchers in determining the core contribution of their Information Retrieval (IR) work. It provides structured tests to decide whether the contribution lies in retrieval quality or the downstream system. Users learn how to select the appropriate SIGIR track (Full, Short, Resources, etc.) or route their work to neighboring venues like NLP/ML, RecSys, or CHIIR.

Provides strict guidelines for structuring and partitioning academic papers submitted to SIGMETRICS. It details the proper placement of content, specifying what must reside in the main body (decision-critical claims like theorems and assumptions), what belongs in the appendices (full proofs, extended analysis), and what constitutes the anonymized artifact. Adherence ensures the core argument is reviewable solely from the primary reviewed pages.

A guide for articulating and bounding a methodological contribution in social science research. It teaches authors how to explicitly state the problem, the failing incumbent method, the mechanism of the fix, and the associated costs, ensuring the claim is proportional, specific, and actionable rather than overly general.

This guide provides specialized instructions for authors writing sociological theories. It teaches how to articulate a clear conceptual contribution by defining a 'new way of seeing' and rigorously differentiating the proposed theory from existing academic works. It ensures the claim is a conceptual advance, not merely a restatement or application.
