A comprehensive workflow guide for managing the entire academic research cycle of a major conference, such as the Web Conference. It details key milestones, backward planning strategies from abstract deadlines, fallback options (Short Papers, Web4Good), and capacity planning tips to ensure timely and successful submission and publication.

A comprehensive guide for authors drafting or revising academic papers for Web Conference (WWW). It teaches how to structure the paper around a web-native mechanism, quantify scale, and write for a mixed computing and social science audience. Learn best practices for page-one impact, compression, and stylistic details to maximize review scores.

This guide assists researchers in assessing the suitability of their manuscripts for the World Economic Papers. It covers the journal's focus on international economics, open macro, and global value chains. It provides detailed checks on formatting requirements (abstract, references), assesses methodological suitability (e.g., GVC decomposition), and identifies potential submission pitfalls, ensuring academic rigor before targeting a high-level academic journal.

This guide provides a comprehensive framework for researchers to assess if their development-related work is suitable for World Development (WD). It moves beyond mere methodological rigor, focusing instead on the paper's multidisciplinary relevance, real-world policy stakes, and ability to advance global understanding of development problems (e.g., poverty, governance, inequality). It helps authors ensure their findings appeal to a broad academic and policy audience.

This router is designed to guide researchers through the complex, multidisciplinary workflow of writing a manuscript for World Development (WD). It helps users determine the correct next step—whether the paper is quantitative, purely qualitative, or mixed-methods—at every stage, from initial topic selection and literature positioning to robust revision, rebuttal, and final submission. It ensures the work meets the high bar of real-world development relevance.

This guide provides critical advice on how to position scholarly articles, particularly in Comparative Politics and International Relations. It teaches authors to move beyond single-country case studies by framing their work within a live, cross-case academic debate. Learn how to identify theoretical gaps, engage with key literature, and articulate your unique contribution to the wider field.

This guide provides a comprehensive strategy for authors responding to a 'Revise and Resubmit' (R&R) decision from a top-tier journal. It details how to structure a concise, persuasive, and highly professional rebuttal memo (typically limited to five pages). Learn how to address every reviewer comment, reconcile conflicting demands, protect the paper's core arguments, and maintain scholarly rigor while remaining anonymous.

This guide helps scholars rigorously defend the methodological design of academic papers, particularly in International Relations and Comparative Politics. It covers advanced techniques such as process tracing, case selection logic, quantitative cross-national panel data analysis (DID, IV, RDD), and experimental design. Its core purpose is to strengthen causal claims by explicitly addressing selection bias, defining scope conditions, and ruling out major rival explanations.

A comprehensive guide detailing the workflow for converting an accepted academic manuscript into its final, archival format for major digital libraries (e.g., ACM Digital Library). It covers critical steps including completing e-rights forms, de-anonymizing content, verifying CCS concepts and keywords, managing metadata, and troubleshooting common production pitfalls to ensure successful publication.

This guide provides a comprehensive framework for designing rigorous and defensible evaluation sections for machine learning and information retrieval papers, particularly for top-tier conferences like WSDM. It covers the four critical evidence quadrants—Effectiveness, Validity, Efficiency, and Robustness—and details necessary protocols, such as temporal splits, proper baseline selection (including heuristics), ablation studies, and hardware-aware performance reporting. Use this when auditing or writing the experimental section of a research paper.

This guide teaches researchers how to strategically position a paper's contribution within established academic lineages (e.g., click models, LTR). It emphasizes moving beyond simple citation coverage to writing precise 'contrast sentences' that articulate the technical delta, ensuring the work's novelty is clearly defined relative to neighboring venues like SIGIR and KDD. Ideal for authors refining their technical writing for top-tier conferences.

A comprehensive guide detailing the rigorous, multi-stage academic review process for top-tier data mining conferences (e.g., WSDM). It analyzes the hybrid single/double-blind architecture, the impact of no rebuttal phase, and the distinct perspectives of academic and industry reviewers. Use this guide to understand the requirements for writing and structuring submissions that maximize acceptance chances.
