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.

Provides strict guidelines for writing the Related Work section in theoretical database papers. It teaches authors how to precisely position their novel results against existing theorems (ICDT/PODS canon), covering complex topics like finite model theory, query complexity, and proper academic citation etiquette, ensuring genuine novelty is highlighted.

Details the rigorous, structured review process for ICDT (International Conference on Database Theory). The model emphasizes that referees scrutinize proof correctness, not just novelty. It guides authors through the two-cycle submission process, explaining the strategic implications of Accept, Revise, and Reject decisions to ensure deep theoretical foundations.

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 helps researchers decide the most appropriate venue for their database theory research, comparing major conferences like ICDT, PODS, EDBT, and top journals (ACM TODS, LMCS). It provides detailed criteria, such as the required data-management consequence, the nature of the theorem, and strategies for choosing between competing flagship venues based on calendar, publisher, and community fit.

This comprehensive guide provides an end-to-end workflow for authors planning and submitting papers to the International Conference on Database Theory (ICDT). It covers the unique two-cycle submission calendar, advising on timing from initial abstract registration, first-cycle revisions, to final camera-ready submission and presentation strategy. Essential for managing academic publication timelines.

A meticulous style guide for authors submitting papers to the International Conference on Database Theory (ICDT). It mandates a rigorous theorem-proof structure, emphasizing precise statement of data models, query languages, and complexity measures. The guide teaches how to structure the introduction to lead with the core result and its data-management implications, adhering to top-tier academic standards.

A comprehensive guide for data engineers and researchers determining the best venue (ICDE, SIGMOD, VLDB, etc.) for their data-intensive systems paper. It outlines the foundational "data-management-primitive test" and provides strategic advice on navigating the overlaps and differences between major database conferences based on research focus and submission timeline.

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 helps researchers strategically position their database, data management, or analytics papers for the International Conference on Very Large Data Bases (VLDB). It provides deep insights into conference positioning, required evidence (scale, systems depth), optimal structure, and how to compare the work against top venue standards. Use it before submission to refine your narrative and meet the archival standards of a flagship database conference.

A comprehensive guide for positioning highly technical research in top-tier academic venues like ISCA. It instructs authors on deep literature surveying across multiple databases (ACM, IEEE, dblp, arXiv), structuring the 'related work' section using structural differentiation (mechanism delta), and adhering to double-blind review guidelines. Essential for advanced technical paper writing.

This guide helps authors structure the Related Work section for top-tier academic journals like the Journal of Software. It focuses on demonstrating incremental contribution (delta-first positioning), structuring the review across multiple software disciplines (e.g., SE, Systems, Databases), ensuring balanced citations (international vs. domestic), and building comprehensive classification frameworks for review papers.
