A comprehensive guide for authors writing theoretical computer science papers. It details how to position a result within the existing academic lineage, ensuring rigorous citation practices, managing version discrepancies (preprint vs. journal), and honestly comparing bounds against prior work. Essential for meeting the high standards of top-tier conferences like STOC.

This comprehensive guide details the specific structural and stylistic requirements for submitting high-quality theoretical computer science papers to top-tier conferences like STOC. It addresses how to frame the initial theorem statement, structure the technical overview, maintain notation economy, and effectively budget the limited page space to ensure maximum academic rigor and readability for diverse expert audiences.

This guide provides a strategic framework for drafting author responses to challenging peer reviews in academic conferences. It teaches authors how to structure replies by addressing four key axes (Correctness, Novelty, Backing, Clarity), ensuring technical precision, maintaining anonymity, and framing commitments that survive the subsequent Area Chair (AC) discussion phase.

A comprehensive guide for structuring the 'Related Work' section for top-tier HCI conferences (e.g., UIST). This document emphasizes that the section must function as a novelty proof, not a literature survey. It teaches authors to organize content by capability delta, utilize detailed comparison tables, and trace three critical lineages: technique, toolkit, and commercial practice, ensuring the work's unique contribution is clearly established.

A comprehensive guide for positioning computer science manuscripts for top-tier security conferences like USENIX Security. It covers core topics (systems, network, privacy, software security), required evidence (rigorous artifact, measurement, vulnerability analysis), and strategic advice on framing the work to meet adversarial reviewer expectations. Ideal for authors preparing high-stakes academic submissions.

A comprehensive guide for revising visualization research papers for top-tier conferences and journals (e.g., IEEE VIS/TVCG). It mandates shifting focus from aesthetic design to rigorous, task-grounded contributions. Users learn how to justify every visual encoding and interaction based on the analytical task, ensure evaluation methods match the contribution type, and structure the narrative around the data-task problem.

This guide outlines the rigorous process for authors responding to a "revise" verdict at top-tier academic conferences. It teaches authors how to treat reviewer feedback as a formal contract, manage a tight revision timeline, structure necessary experiments, and write a highly traceable change document that explicitly addresses every required point.

A comprehensive guide for authors submitting to major conferences (like WACV). It details how to properly split content between the main 8-page paper body and the supplementary material. Key focus areas include maintaining double-blind anonymity, structuring evidence for reviewers, and ensuring consistency across multiple revision rounds.

This guide provides an expert methodology for writing the 'Related Work' section for top-tier web conferences (like WWW). It teaches authors how to establish the paper's academic lineage, contrast the work against competing venues (e.g., SIGIR, KDD), and manage citation hygiene, ensuring maximum impact within strict page limits.

This guide provides a comprehensive strategy for authors submitting to conferences like WSDM, which historically do not have a dedicated rebuttal phase. It teaches preemptive objection engineering, how to structure answers directly into the PDF, managing post-submission communication channels, and planning next steps whether accepted or rejected.

This guide teaches researchers how to strategically position a paper's contribution within established academic lineages (e.g., click models, LTR). It emphasizes moving beyond simple citation coverage to writing precise 'contrast sentences' that articulate the technical delta, ensuring the work's novelty is clearly defined relative to neighboring venues like SIGIR and KDD. Ideal for authors refining their technical writing for top-tier conferences.
