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.

A comprehensive guide for researchers to determine if their work aligns with the scope of the Journal of Software (JOS). It provides crucial criteria for distinguishing JOS from other major computer science publications, assisting in article type selection, and identifying potential revision signals to ensure strong software engineering focus.

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.
