SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Submitting a research paper involves strict venue rules where a single mistake—an identifying comment in a code link, a missed COI declaration, or a page-limit violation—can trigger desk rejection before your work is even reviewed. This Skill checks your paper against Prof. Bingsheng He's (NUS) submission guidelines so compliance issues are caught before the deadline. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Double-Blind Compliance Audit: Scans for author names, affiliations, PDF metadata, identifying GitHub links, and first-person self-citations that break anonymity. - COI and Integrity Guidance: Walks through conflict-of-interest declaration categories (co-authors, advisors, collaborators) and flags critical integrity violations like dual submission or review manipulation. - Timeline and Formatting Checklists: Provides a 6-month reverse-planned submission timeline plus final-countdown checks for page limits, templates, references, and placeholder text. - Use Case: A week before the SIGMOD deadline, you run the Skill on your draft PDF. It reports that your acknowledgements section reveals your lab, two self-citations use "our previous work", and the paper exceeds the page limit—giving you a prioritized fix list before submission. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to check your paper draft for submission readiness against the double-blind, formatting, and COI checklist, or request the full checklist for manual review.

FAQPage Schema
How do I check if my paper is double-blind compliant before submission?

Run the Skill with your paper file path and it scans for author names, affiliations, emails, PDF metadata, identifying GitHub links, and first-person self-citations. It reports each finding with a pass/fail status so you can anonymize the draft before submitting.

What should I declare as a conflict of interest for SIGMOD?

Declare co-authors on any publication, co-workers and collaborators within the past 5 years, thesis advisors (lifetime COI), and close personal relationships. Avoid over-declaring, since excessive COIs shrink your reviewer pool, and keep a living COI file updated after each project.

Can this Skill check formatting and page limits?

Yes, the formatting pre-checks cover template compliance, page count limits, figure readability, complete references, leftover placeholder text like TODO or TBD, and line-number requirements. Items it cannot verify from the file are marked as CANNOT CHECK in the report.

What happens if I violate double-blind or COI rules?

Violations typically result in desk rejection before any scientific evaluation, and COI misuse or review manipulation can escalate to career-damaging integrity investigations. The Skill's checklist is designed to catch these issues before they reach the program committee.

When should I start preparing for a paper submission deadline?

The Skill recommends a 6-month reverse plan: idea and outline in month 1, experiments in months 2-4, a full draft by month 5, and submission preparation in month 6. A final countdown checklist covers the last two weeks, including testing the submission system early.
