A comprehensive guide for authors submitting papers related to web search, ranking, and data mining to WSDM. It provides critical advice on conference fit assessment, proper manuscript re-framing, required evidence (retrieval/ranking baselines, platform-aware evaluation), and how to position the work against competing top venues like SIGIR and KDD.

A comprehensive guide for structuring and positioning computer science manuscripts for The Web Conference (WWW). It advises authors on leveraging open-web data, focusing on web systems, web mining, and responsible AI, while adhering to the latest venue-specific standards and evidence requirements.

Provides comprehensive guidelines for packaging and submitting research artifacts (datasets, models, code) for major conferences. It details the difference between mere 'existence' (badge verification) and true academic 'reproducibility,' covering archival strategies, web data licensing, takedown resilience, and minimal viable package structure for long-term scholarly impact.

A comprehensive guide for authors submitting papers to web conferences. It details how to structure empirical claims, ensuring evidence matches the claim's scope (scale, freshness, generalizability). The guide covers avoiding methodological flaws like temporal or popularity leakage, selecting datasets with proper provenance, and performing rigorous ablations and statistical analysis for maximum academic rigor.

A comprehensive guide for ensuring the scientific reproducibility of research papers that rely on dynamic web data, such as web crawls, platform APIs, or live system traffic. It defines three reproducibility regimes (Frozen, Decaying, Unreplayable) and provides detailed instructions on documenting data decay, temporal splits, environment configurations, and computational seeds to maintain the rigor of published findings.

A comprehensive guide for researchers to evaluate if their project aligns with the niche scope of WSDM. It details the 'two-gate test' (web/social data focus and practical/principled approach) and provides a routing table to help authors determine the most appropriate conference venue (e.g., SIGIR, KDD, RecSys) for their work.
