A comprehensive guide for academic researchers on how to structure and support claims in AI papers, particularly for top-tier conferences like ECAI. It details how to match the type of claim (e.g., completeness, efficiency, generalization) to the appropriate evidence—whether it requires a formal proof, a controlled empirical comparison, or a real-world deployment demonstration. The guide covers best practices for ML (seeds, ablations, baselines), multi-agent systems, and ensuring full provenance and academic honesty.

This guide helps researchers determine the optimal venue for their database project, analyzing whether the work belongs at EDBT, SIGMOD, VLDB, ICDE, or a dedicated theory venue like ICDT. It provides frameworks for choosing the right conference based on contribution type (systems, theory, experiments), open access preferences, and submission cycle proximity.

This guide provides a framework for designing and auditing the experimental rigor of academic papers, particularly in systems and programming languages. It emphasizes the crucial link between a claim type (e.g., 'Faster') and the required evidence type (e.g., benchmarks, user studies, formal proofs). Learn how to establish robust baselines, define clear workload rules, size experiments for conference cycles, and ensure statistical compliance for maximum impact.
