research-paper-writing

Follow the phased pipeline: set up the workspace and contribution statement, run an iterative literature search, map claims to experiments, execute with monitoring, analyze results with significance tests, then draft using the venue's official LaTeX template. The process is iterative, with reviews feeding back into new experiments.

Never generate BibTeX from memory; fetch it programmatically via DOI content negotiation from CrossRef. Verify each paper exists in at least two sources such as Semantic Scholar and arXiv, and mark anything unverifiable as [CITATION NEEDED] for manual review.

Report error bars with the method specified, 95% confidence intervals via bootstrapping, McNemar's test for paired method comparisons, and effect sizes such as Cohen's h. Always state sample sizes and number of independent runs.

Official templates are provided for ICML 2026, ICLR 2026, NeurIPS 2025, ACL, AAAI 2026, and COLM 2025, each with the correct style file, bibliography style, and example document. Page limits and anonymization rules are documented per venue.

Use autoreason for mid-tier models and constrained tasks where the generation-evaluation gap is large. Use critique-and-revise or single pass for frontier models on unconstrained tasks, since autoreason suffers synthesis drift without scope constraints.

Yes, it covers annotator selection, pairwise versus Likert scales, inter-annotator agreement with Krippendorff's alpha or Cohen's kappa, crowdsourcing platform choice, compensation reporting, and IRB guidance required by ACL venues.
