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.

This guide provides comprehensive instructions for authors responding to peer reviews and engaging with a shepherd during major security symposium cycles (like USENIX Security). It details the technical mechanics of writing effective rebuttals, addressing compliance gaps (e.g., ethics/disclosure), and managing limited revisions during the post-acceptance shepherding phase.

This guide provides a comprehensive framework for authors responding to major conference reviews (like IEEE VIS). It details the distinct strategies for both first-round rebuttals and mandatory second-round revisions (conditional accept). Learn how to structure summaries of changes, address technical critiques, maintain anonymity, and turn reviewer skepticism into acceptance.

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.

A comprehensive guide for researchers on how to effectively position academic contributions, particularly for top-tier development economics journals. It instructs users to move beyond merely stating a research topic (e.g., 'first to study X in Y') by framing their findings as generalizable claims about underlying mechanisms or quantitative gaps. Key focus areas include linking academic gaps to active development policy debates and strategically distinguishing the work from similar fields like JDE or World Development.

This guide provides a comprehensive framework for authors writing for development economics journals, specifically addressing the need to bridge the gap between rigorous econometric analysis and actionable policy advice. It teaches how to structure introductions, write concise abstracts, and frame findings by emphasizing policy magnitudes over statistical significance, ensuring the work speaks to both technical economists and non-specialist policymakers.

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.

A comprehensive guide for authors on allocating limited space within academic conference papers. It details the 'three-container model' (main body, references, appendix) and provides rules for maximizing rhetorical impact while adhering to strict page limits, ensuring evidence is placed correctly for reviewers.

A comprehensive guide for authors drafting or revising academic papers for Web Conference (WWW). It teaches how to structure the paper around a web-native mechanism, quantify scale, and write for a mixed computing and social science audience. Learn best practices for page-one impact, compression, and stylistic details to maximize review scores.

This skill assesses whether a manuscript is suitable for World Development, a leading multidisciplinary development-studies journal. It guides authors on re-framing their work to focus on real-world development problems, policy relevance, and global issues (e.g., poverty, climate, governance). It clarifies the required balance between rigorous methodology and multidisciplinary, actionable insights for a broad academic readership.
