A comprehensive guide for researchers determining if their cross-layer systems work belongs at ASPLOS or a specialized venue (e.g., ISCA, SOSP, PLDI). It introduces the crucial "deletion test," a routing table based on core claims (microarchitecture, language design, etc.), and criteria for identifying genuine cross-disciplinary intersections between OS, PL, and Architecture.

This guide helps software engineering researchers determine the most appropriate academic conference or journal venue for their work. It provides comprehensive fit tests based on contribution type, empirical evidence maturity, and potential impact on industry practice. Authors learn to evaluate their research against criteria like novelty, rigor, and real-world relevance, ensuring proper routing to specialized tracks (e.g., ISSTA, ASE, ICSE).

This comprehensive guide assists software engineers in determining the most appropriate venue (e.g., ICSME, ICSE, MSR) for their research paper. It clarifies the critical difference between general software engineering techniques and studies focused on the post-release lifecycle, such as maintenance, technical debt, program comprehension, and system evolution.

This skill guides authors on positioning manuscripts for the IEEE RO-MAN conference. It helps assess suitability, reframes content from general CS styles, and structures the narrative around core human-robot communication, social behavior, and interaction design. Use it for strategic venue selection and improving submission quality for human-robot interaction research.

This comprehensive guide helps authors strategically position their theoretical computer science manuscript for the IEEE Symposium on Foundations of Computer Science (FOCS). It analyzes the paper's core contribution type, required technical depth (algorithms, complexity, cryptography), necessary evidence, and structural framing to meet the high academic standards of the venue. Ideal for venue selection and manuscript refinement.

A comprehensive guide for quantitative economists to assess if a research topic meets the 'rigor and generality' standards of the International Economic Review (IER). It helps users determine the scope of their contribution, matching it against archetypes like pure theory, structural macro, econometrics, and causal micro, ensuring the work has broad appeal beyond a specific field.

This tool serves as an expert workflow router for manuscripts targeting top-tier International Relations journals. It guides authors through the entire academic writing process—from initial topic selection and theory building to data analysis, experimental design, and final submission. Its primary function is to ensure the research maintains a strong, generalizable theoretical focus on international or cross-border phenomena, rather than focusing only on domestic case studies.

This skill acts as a comprehensive router for Information Systems Research (ISR) manuscripts. It guides users through the entire academic writing lifecycle, from initial topic selection and theory development to method application, drafting, and rebuttal. It ensures the manuscript adheres to the sociotechnical and intradisciplinary standards required by top-tier IS journals, helping authors identify the next logical step.

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.

This guide helps researchers navigate the complex landscape of theoretical computer science conferences. It explains the crucial distinction between 'conceptual novelty' (favored by ITCS) and 'deep technical results' (favored by STOC/FOCS). Use this to determine if your research contribution is a new idea, model, or connection, or if it is the deepest, most polished theorem on an established problem.

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 comprehensive guide is designed for researchers planning submissions to highly specialized academic journals, such as JAIS. It provides a rigorous framework to test whether an Information Systems (IS) topic is theoretically load-bearing, how to select the precise manuscript category (e.g., Theory, Research Article, Literature Review), and how to frame the work to meet high academic standards. Essential for pre-submission planning.
