This guide provides authors with a comprehensive framework for positioning technical manuscripts for the ACM Interactive Surfaces and Spaces (ISS) conference. It covers essential areas like defining scope, aligning hardware evidence with interaction techniques, optimizing the narrative structure, and understanding the specific community expectations for spatial and tangible computing.

A comprehensive guide for drafting professional and strategic rebuttals for major academic conferences, such as ACM Multimedia. Learn how to triage reviewer comments, structure arguments for the Area Chair, address factual errors, and incorporate small, confirmatory results while maintaining anonymity and adhering to strict policy guardrails.

This comprehensive guide details the essential steps required to transition an accepted, anonymous conference paper into the final, public 'camera-ready' version for major academic publications like ACM MM. It covers de-anonymization, completing ACM eRights forms, incorporating CCS concepts, releasing permanent code/data artifacts, and preparing for the final presentation.

A comprehensive guide for authors preparing the supplementary material for multimedia conferences (e.g., ACM MM). It details how to structure the content, separating core arguments (Body) from supporting evidence (Supplement). Learn best practices for packaging videos, audio, and interactive demos, ensuring technical compatibility (H.264/MP4), maintaining anonymity for double-blind review, and creating a legible, reviewer-friendly submission index.

This comprehensive guide details the rigorous, multi-stage peer review pipeline used by major academic conferences (like ACM CHI). It breaks down the roles of the 1AC, 2AC, and external reviewers, explaining screening mechanisms like Desk Reject (DR) and Assisted Desk Reject (ADR). It covers the entire journey from initial recommendations to the final PC meeting, providing authors with a framework to interpret feedback and strategically revise their work.

This comprehensive guide details the rigorous, double-blind, two-phase review process of the ACM/IEEE HRI conference. It breaks down every stage—from initial desk checks and track assignments to the critical author rebuttal and program-committee meetings. Learn where authors can maximize their impact, what reviewers prioritize (impact over polish), and how to strategically write rebuttals to influence the final decision.

A comprehensive guide for authors responding to major academic conference reviews (e.g., ACM IMC). It details the strategy for the two distinct review turns: the initial rebuttal and the highly structured, bounded One-Shot-Revision. Learn how to maintain double-blind anonymity, address specific action points, and defend your methodology against common reviewer concerns (e.g., validity, ethics, scope creep).

This guide provides detailed instructions for authors on structuring the Related Work section for ACM IMC papers. It emphasizes that related work must cover not only prior claims but critically analyze prior datasets, vantage points, tools, and methodologies. It teaches techniques like delta-first positioning and proper venue attribution to demonstrate deep domain expertise and avoid common academic pitfalls.

This guide provides comprehensive steps for preparing a camera-ready version of an accepted academic conference paper, such as those for the PACMMOD PODS track. It covers essential tasks including complete de-anonymization, applying final journal formatting, integrating required revisions, populating detailed metadata (ORCID, DOI, CCS concepts), and ensuring the full version is correctly posted and cross-linked on arXiv.

This guide details the comprehensive steps required after an ACM conference paper has been accepted. It covers critical stages including obtaining shepherd approval, de-anonymizing the work (restoring author names, funding, and system details), reflowing the paper using the acmart template, and submitting both the source code and the final PDF through the ACM Publishing System (TAPS). It emphasizes releasing public artifacts for reproducibility.

A comprehensive guide for positioning academic papers in highly competitive technical fields, particularly networking and distributed systems. Learn how to systematically sweep major venues (SIGCOMM, NSDI, MobiCom, etc.), rigorously prove every prior work via dblp/ACM DL, and articulate clear novelty by distinguishing core mechanisms from mere engineering polish. Essential for top-tier conference submissions.

This comprehensive guide provides a rigorous, multi-stage audit checklist for authors submitting papers to top-tier academic conferences like SIGCOMM. It covers crucial details including abstract registration timing, selecting the correct research or experience track, adhering to strict ACM formatting rules (12-page limit), maintaining double-blind anonymity, and verifying all metadata against the submission system requirements.
