This guide provides a comprehensive framework for revising Communication Research (CR) manuscripts following a revise-and-resubmit (R&R). It addresses the core challenge of satisfying two independent, often skeptical, expert reviewers simultaneously—specifically concerning measurement validity, tested mechanisms, and confound control—all while adhering to strict page limits. It focuses on strategic revision planning, managing the page budget, and structuring the response memo.

This guide assists in developing robust theoretical arguments for Comparative Political Studies (CPS). It teaches how to refine a descriptive puzzle into a portable, testable mechanism by defining a core causal process, establishing clear scope conditions (where the theory holds and fails), predicting observable implications, and demonstrating comparative statics. The goal is to elevate local findings into generalizable, widely applicable theories.

This guide provides crucial advice for authors submitting to conferences with severe page limitations, such as DAC. It teaches the 'decision-criticality test' to help authors allocate content, ensuring that only core, review-mandated arguments remain in the main body, while supporting details and code can be moved to external repositories.

This comprehensive guide helps authors structure and partition their research findings for top-tier academic conferences, such as USENIX FAST. It defines the strict rules for separating core, decision-critical evidence (which must reside in the main body) from supporting materials, artifacts, and appendices, ensuring compliance with page budgets and double-blind review standards.

A comprehensive guide for researchers deciding the optimal conference venue (e.g., FAST, OSDI, NSDI, ATC) for their storage-related academic work. It advises on distinguishing a core storage contribution from general systems results, detailing specific contribution shapes FAST rewards, and providing routing logic based on the project's nature and evidence maturity.

A comprehensive guide for researchers submitting technical papers to conferences like ICASSP. It teaches how to manage extensive supplementary materials—including derivations, extra results, and multimedia—while ensuring the core 4-page paper remains self-contained and review-ready under single-blind review constraints. Focus on core claims, not volume.

This comprehensive guide details the entire ICSE conference paper review lifecycle, from initial submission to final decision. It analyzes the four core scoring criteria—Novelty, Rigor, Relevance, and Verifiability—and maps out the Accept/Major Revision/Reject decision model. Use this to strategically plan your revisions and understand the academic publishing landscape.

A comprehensive guide for authors submitting to major academic conferences (e.g., ICSE). It details the strict rules for differentiating mandatory core content (the 10-page limit) from supporting evidence, such as extended proofs, scripts, and raw data, which must be placed in an anonymized supplementary package. Learn the 'summarize-and-point' discipline to ensure verifiability and maintain reviewer trust.

This guide provides detailed structuring advice for writing empirical software engineering (SE) research papers for top-tier conferences like ICSE. It focuses on adopting the required academic rigor, including using Research Questions (RQs) as the core skeleton, mastering the 'Threats to Validity' section, and calibrating claims for verifiability. Learn how to structure the abstract, compress content into a 10-page limit, and address reviewer expectations in the SE community.

A comprehensive guide for assembling supplementary materials for ICSME papers. It strictly outlines how to partition research findings, core techniques, and evidence between the limited 10-page body and the supplementary artifact. The key principle is that the paper must be fully judgeable from the reviewed pages alone, ensuring decision-critical evidence is never relegated solely to the appendix.

A comprehensive tool designed to help authors assess the suitability and optimal framing of their manuscripts for the IEEE/ACM International Conference on Automated Software Engineering (ASE). It guides the structuring of contributions, required evidence (runnable artifacts, benchmarks), and positioning relative to core SE concepts like program analysis, testing, and AI-assisted development. Use this guide to strategize conference submissions and strengthen the academic narrative.

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.
