Skill UI

A comprehensive tool designed to help authors assess the suitability and optimal framing of their manuscripts for the IEEE/ACM International Conference on Automated Software Engineering (ASE). It guides the structuring of contributions, required evidence (runnable artifacts, benchmarks), and positioning relative to core SE concepts like program analysis, testing, and AI-assisted development. Use this guide to strategize conference submissions and strengthen the academic narrative.

A comprehensive guide for authors targeting the IEEE International Conference on Data Engineering (ICDE). This skill helps assess venue fit, re-frame manuscripts from journal/arXiv styles, and structure papers for top CS conferences. It details required evidence (system architecture, realistic workloads) and best practices for positioning contributions in data engineering, database systems, and analytics.

This guide assists authors with positioning their computer science manuscripts for the IEEE International Conference on Software Maintenance and Evolution (ICSME). It details the core scope, including software maintenance, evolution, refactoring, and technical debt, and provides best practices for structuring submissions. It emphasizes the need for real repository evidence, actionable engineering insights, and proper differentiation from related venues like SANER or ICSE.

Provides a detailed and rigorous workflow guide for managing a full academic conference submission cycle (e.g., ISCA). It advises researchers on working backward from critical deadlines—from topic selection and baseline freezing to abstract writing, paper submission, handling reviews, and generating camera-ready artifacts—treating the academic process like a structured engineering schedule.

This guide provides comprehensive guidelines for designing, conducting, and auditing empirical studies in software engineering. It emphasizes achieving scientific rigor by matching every claim to specific, measured evidence, ensuring fair baselining (equal budget), and applying appropriate advanced statistics (non-parametric tests, effect sizes). Essential reading for researchers submitting papers based on performance evaluations.

This guide helps researchers determine the optimal conference or journal venue for their software engineering contribution. It specifically addresses whether the core of the work is a testing or analysis technique evaluated on real subjects (ISSTA), or if it fits better within broader Software Engineering (ICSE/FSE), formal verification (PLDI/CAV), or applied domains.

This guide provides a comprehensive framework for building verifiable reproducibility evidence for academic manuscripts. It instructs authors on critical engineering disciplines, including freezing environment dependencies, controlling random seeds, versioning datasets and models, and creating anonymous, self-contained running materials that stand up to rigorous external peer review.

A detailed guide for structuring the 'Related Work' section of high-level academic manuscripts in communications engineering. It teaches authors to move beyond simple literature listing by focusing on the 'delta'—defining the gaps in existing research and clearly positioning the paper's unique contribution to ensure novelty and academic rigor for top-tier journals.

This guide provides a comprehensive checklist for writing and refining technical papers for the Journal of Software (JOS). It covers structuring the abstract, mastering the introduction narrative arc, ensuring terminology consistency, and adhering to strict citation standards (GB/T 7714). Use this when submitting a draft to a Chinese academic journal, aiming to transform the manuscript into a highly polished, professional piece that meets the rigorous standards of the Chinese software engineering community.

A comprehensive guide for drafting and revising high-level microarchitecture papers for top-tier conferences. It mandates the rigorous 'four-beat argument' structure: starting with characterization evidence, defining the insight, detailing the mechanism, and completing with thorough cost accounting. This ensures the paper is a defensible engineering argument.

A comprehensive guide for authors submitting biomedical engineering research. It assesses the manuscript's fit, biomedical significance, and translational relevance against Nature's rigorous standards. Covers scope, validation requirements (benchtop vs. clinical), structural guidelines, and official submission checklists for devices, biomaterials, and engineered systems.

This skill provides detailed guidance for authors proposing or writing a high-level, conceptual review for Nature Reviews Materials. It outlines the journal's unique standards, focusing on conceptual synthesis, establishing unifying design principles, and providing an expert map for cross-disciplinary audiences in materials science and engineering. It covers scope, evidence bar, house style, and the crucial pre-submission collaboration process.
