This guide provides structural best practices for writing highly technical academic papers, particularly for top-tier conferences. It teaches authors how to critically distinguish between the core material that must be visible in the main body (for the referee to follow and judge) and the auxiliary details, complete proofs, or routine calculations that can be safely deferred to an appendix. Following this structure prevents common writing pitfalls, such as 'hollow bodies,' ensuring the paper is both highly readable and technically rigorous.

This guide provides comprehensive standards for designing, executing, and reporting systems experiments for top-tier academic venues (like ICDE). It emphasizes methodological rigor, including mandatory ablation studies, reporting variance and tail latency (p99), demonstrating scaling trends (curves over points), disclosing cost trade-offs, and ensuring full hardware and software reproducibility to withstand adversarial review.

This guide provides rigorous guidelines for structuring theoretical papers submitted to the International Conference on Database Theory (ICDT). It emphasizes that proofs and formal evidence are the primary contribution, not benchmarks or experiments. It teaches authors how to match their specific theoretical claims (e.g., complexity, expressiveness) to the appropriate academic evidence, ensuring that any proposed experiment is proportional, honest, and merely supplements the core theoretical results.

This guide outlines the standards for ensuring the verifiability and rigor of theoretical computer science papers, particularly for venues like ICDT. It mandates complete proofs, precise pinning of models and assumptions, explicit matching of upper and lower bounds, and strict internal consistency across all claims and full versions. Use this checklist before submission to elevate academic quality.

A comprehensive audit guide for authors preparing submissions for the International Conference on Database Theory (ICDT). This guide covers critical aspects including selecting the correct submission cycle, adhering to the two-step abstract-then-paper deadline, meeting the LIPIcs formatting standards (15 pages excluding references), ensuring complete and verifiable proofs, and maintaining strict anonymity since 2024. Use this before uploading to Microsoft CMT.

This guide provides strict guidelines for structuring technical conference papers, especially when supplementary proofs are required. It emphasizes the critical rule that the main body (typically 15 pages) must be self-contained and sufficient for a referee to judge the result's significance, even if they do not read the marked appendix. It strictly forbids external links or online supplements for review.

This guide provides essential instructions for authors submitting research to the ECAI conference, focusing on creating credible and reproducible artifacts. It strongly cautions authors about misconceptions regarding separate artifact badges, emphasizing that credibility must be built into the paper and supplement for direct reviewer judgment. Guidelines are provided for matching the artifact (code, proofs, data) to the specific contribution type (Theory, ML, Optimization).

This guide outlines the proper placement of various research materials—including proofs, code, and extended results—within major academic conference submissions. It helps authors understand which content must be presented in the main body, which belongs in appendices, and how to correctly manage supplementary manuscripts and code/data supplements to maximize the chance of reviewer acceptance.

A comprehensive, final-gate audit guide for submitting papers to major robotics conferences like ICRA using the PaperPlaza system. It details mandatory technical specifications, including page limits (6 content + 2 refs), IEEE two-column compliance, double-anonymous rules, video attachment specs, and critical deadlines. Essential reading to prevent submission rejection or administrative disqualification.

A comprehensive guide for authors submitting to major academic conferences (e.g., ICSE). It details the strict rules for differentiating mandatory core content (the 10-page limit) from supporting evidence, such as extended proofs, scripts, and raw data, which must be placed in an anonymized supplementary package. Learn the 'summarize-and-point' discipline to ensure verifiability and maintain reviewer trust.

A comprehensive guide for positioning computer architecture manuscripts for the IEEE HPCA conference. It covers ideal scope (accelerators, memory systems, interconnects), required evidence (benchmarks, performance/energy tradeoffs), and strategic framing needed to appeal to top-tier hardware reviewers. Use it to refine your narrative and ensure your contribution meets the high standards of high-performance computing research.

A comprehensive guide for authors targeting top-tier systems and control journals, such as IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control (TAC). It helps authors evaluate the fit of their manuscript, transitioning from application-heavy case studies to general, provable theoretical theorems with rigorous mathematical proofs and explicitly stated assumptions. Essential for manuscript re-framing and academic submission readiness.
