Skill UI

A comprehensive skill designed to assess the suitability of a manuscript for The BMJ (British Medical Journal). It provides expert guidance on journal positioning, required methodological rigor (e.g., CONSORT, PRISMA, STROBE compliance), open data commitments, structured abstract requirements, and the specific standards necessary for submission to a leading, patient-centered, evidence-based medical journal. Use this to re-frame and optimize your research paper before submission.

A comprehensive guide for researchers on assessing the suitability of digital health, AI/ML, or health informatics manuscripts for The Lancet Digital Health. It outlines the journal's strict standards for clinical rigor, external validation, reporting guidelines (TRIPOD, CONSORT-AI), and evidence required for publication.

A comprehensive guide to assessing whether a mental health or psychiatry study is suitable for publication in The Lancet Psychiatry. It details the journal's high standards, focusing on large-scale population/epidemiological analyses, policy relevance, and rigorous methodology (e.g., RCTs, cohort studies). The skill helps authors re-frame their research question to meet global health and system-level impact requirements, covering reporting guidelines (CONSORT/STROBE/PRISMA) and submission structure.

This guide assists researchers in determining the suitability of their study for The Lancet Public Health. It outlines the scope, emphasizing population-level interventions, global epidemiology, and health policy. It details stringent requirements for methodology, reporting guidelines (STROBE, CONSORT, PRISMA), addressing biases, and adhering to specialized journal house styles and submission protocols.

This skill provides comprehensive guidance for submitting high-impact clinical and population research to The Lancet Respiratory Medicine. It details the journal's specialized scope, which favors practice-changing randomized trials and major prospective cohorts in respiratory and critical care. The guide highlights the rigorous evidence bar, including expected reporting guidelines (CONSORT, STROBE, PRISMA), statistical rigor, and structural house style, serving as a crucial fit and framing aid for authors.

This guide helps researchers determine the most appropriate conference (UAI, AISTATS, NeurIPS, ICML, etc.) for their work, particularly when the core contribution revolves around uncertainty representation, probabilistic reasoning, or causal inference. It provides detailed filters and comparison points to refine the paper's scope and target audience.

This guide covers the mandatory Open Science appendix for high-level security research. It instructs authors on enumerating all artifacts (code, datasets, configurations), documenting data withholding decisions, and implementing engineering controls (like environment pinning and version tracking) to ensure that published results are independently and reliably reproducible.

A comprehensive guide detailing the standards for scientific reproducibility in visualization research, particularly for IEEE VIS submissions. It outlines the Graphics Replicability Stamp Initiative (GRSI) requirements, covering how independent volunteers must reproduce results using provided code, data, and environments (e.g., Docker containers). Learn how to package your work—including determinism aids, mapping tables, and licensed data—to pass rigorous, clean-machine testing.

A comprehensive guide for authors submitting visualization papers to major conferences like IEEE VIS. It outlines the strict rules for partitioning content, ensuring the core argument remains judgeable from the main body while leveraging supplemental materials (video, code, full data) to demonstrate interaction and reproducibility. Essential reading for academic researchers in the field.

This guide helps researchers determine if their project qualifies as a visualization contribution (beyond general HCI or ML). It provides structured criteria for choosing the best conference venue (e.g., IEEE VIS, EuroVis, CHI) and mapping the work to one of the six core visualization areas based on contribution type and evidence maturity.

This guide outlines the methodology for preparing research artifacts for rigorous academic reproducibility evaluations, such as those run by VLDB/SIGMOD. It details the required components—including prototype code, input data, workloads, and analysis scripts—to structure a comprehensive package. The goal is to ensure that any external evaluator can independently and flawlessly rebuild and validate all claimed results, maximizing the chances of winning reproducibility awards.

A comprehensive checklist and guide for authors submitting research papers to PVLDB (Proceedings of the VLDB Endowment). This resource details critical steps, including adherence to multiple deadlines (abstract, full paper), category budget selection, single-blind formatting rules, and author co-contribution caps, ensuring submissions avoid desk rejection.
