This guide provides an in-depth framework for assessing the foundational significance of theoretical computer science results. It details the rigorous criteria used by top-tier conferences like FOCS (Foundations of Computer Science) to judge a paper's impact, focusing on its consequence, how it overcomes known obstacles, and its durability beyond best constants. It also maps various research types (e.g., cryptographic, algorithmic, learning theory) to the most suitable venue (e.g., FOCS, STOC, SODA, CCC).
