This guide details the strategic process for writing a constrained, data-driven rebuttal for competitive academic conferences (such as PPoPP). It teaches authors how to structure responses to address scaling questions, compare results against baselines, correct factual misreadings, and maximize impact within strict word and time limits. Focus on evidence, not argument.

This comprehensive guide outlines the rigorous methodology required for designing high-impact evaluations of parallel systems and algorithms for top-tier conferences. It stresses that contributions must demonstrate the 'twin bar': both concurrency correctness (e.g., linearizability) and measurable scalability (e.g., strong vs. weak scaling). It covers best practices for establishing strong baselines, managing measurement hygiene (variance, pinning), and anticipating advanced reviewer scrutiny in HPC.

A comprehensive deep dive into the PPoPP conference review pipeline. This guide models the single-round, double-blind review process, detailing how submissions are evaluated by the Program Committee and External Review Committee. It covers critical aspects such as the author response rebuttal, automatic poster consideration, and the specific technical axes reviewers prioritize (e.g., scalability, concurrency correctness, baseline honesty) for parallel programming research.

This guide provides a comprehensive checklist for designing, executing, and presenting empirical evidence for academic papers in Pattern Recognition and AI. It covers critical areas like establishing fair baselines, ensuring statistical rigor (mean ± std dev, significance testing), conducting sufficient ablation studies, preventing data leakage, and reporting computational costs. It helps authors make their findings withstand rigorous external review.

A comprehensive guide for drafting persuasive and structured author responses to major academic conference reviews. This methodology teaches how to triage critical concerns, anchor answers strictly to submitted evidence (tables, appendices, repository), and effectively counter common technical pushbacks such as baseline tuning, temporal data leakage, and offline-online gaps, ensuring the response is professional, anonymous, and high-impact.

A comprehensive guide for revising academic papers in recommendation systems (RecSys). It covers best practices for structuring the first page, ensuring rigorous evaluation protocols (e.g., temporal splits, equal-budget baselines), and avoiding methodological overclaims, helping authors meet the standards of top-tier AI conferences.

This guide provides a comprehensive audit checklist for designing and evaluating sensor-based systems (SenSys). It mandates rigorous, real-world measurements across five core axes: energy efficiency, on-device latency distribution, ground truth accuracy, deployment realism, and embedded AI footprint. It ensures that research results are based on measured hardware performance, not simulations or idealized baselines.

This guide details the unique two-deadline review model of SenSys. It provides authors with a comprehensive roadmap for interpreting complex rejection outcomes, structuring substantive revisions, formulating effective responses to reviewers, and understanding critical systems review criteria, such as energy measurement and baseline fairness. Essential reading for systems researchers.

A comprehensive guide for designing and auditing high-stakes networking experiments, particularly for top-tier academic submissions like SIGCOMM. It outlines the 'evidence ladder' from microbenchmarks to live deployment, emphasizing the need to select robust baselines, report full performance distributions (percentiles and variance), and accurately map the mechanism's operational break points.

A detailed guide for managing the entire academic paper submission process for major graphics conferences like SIGGRAPH and SIGGRAPH Asia. It outlines the two annual cycles, backward planning from deadlines, key milestones (results video, baselines), rebuttal strategies, and final camera-ready submission steps, ensuring researchers can manage complex timelines effectively.

This guide provides a comprehensive framework for authors responding to peer reviews in major NLP/IR conferences. It covers strategies for active rebuttal periods, pre-emptive revisions when no window exists, and planning resubmissions after rejection. Key advice includes technical rebuttal tactics (e.g., addressing baselines, significance testing), maintaining professional tone, and efficiently using existing computational evidence to maximize acceptance chances.

This comprehensive guide details the rigorous methodology for designing, executing, and reporting experimental results in Information Retrieval (IR). It covers best practices for selecting appropriate test collections, choosing defensible metrics, performing proper statistical significance testing (e.g., paired t-tests), ensuring baseline fairness, and proactively addressing modern pitfalls like LLM contamination. Essential for publishing high-quality, auditable research in IR/NLP.
