  1. Webconf Workflow · brycewang-stanford
    Use when planning a team's calendar around the Web Conference (WWW) annual cycle — the autumn abstract/paper deadlines, the holiday-week rebuttal, January decisions, the short-paper and Web4Good fallback windows inside the same edition, venue-volatility contingencies, and rerouting after rejection.

  2. Webconf Submission · brycewang-stanford
    Use when auditing a Web Conference (WWW) research-tracks submission before the abstract or full-paper deadline, covering track choice among the ten research tracks, the single-PDF 8+references+appendix page arithmetic within 12 pages, EasyChair profile completeness, the author-list freeze, the 7-submission cap, and double-blind checks.

  3. Webconf Experiments · brycewang-stanford
    Use when designing or auditing the empirical section of a Web Conference (WWW) paper — matching evidence to the claim's scale, choosing datasets with provenance and freshness, blocking temporal and popularity leakage, running honest baselines from the sibling circuit, and deciding when live-platform or user-study evidence is required.

  4. Webconf Camera Ready · brycewang-stanford
    Use when preparing a Web Conference (WWW) camera-ready after acceptance, covering the uniform 12-page/8-content proceedings budget, de-anonymization and restored acknowledgements, ACM e-rights and TAPS production, ACM Open cost exposure, author registration, and the artifact-badging submission that rides along with the final files.

  5. Webconf Related Work · brycewang-stanford
    Use when positioning a Web Conference (WWW) submission against prior literature — tracing lineage through three decades of WWW proceedings, contrasting with the WSDM/CIKM/SIGIR/KDD sibling circuit, handling the venue's preprint-non-citation rule, and budgeting references against the shared 12-page PDF tail.

  6. Webconf Supplementary · brycewang-stanford
    Use when deciding what belongs in the Web Conference (WWW) appendix versus the 8 main pages versus an external artifact, under the single-PDF 12-page ceiling where references and appendix share the tail, reviewers need not read past page 8, and no separate supplementary upload exists in the research tracks.

  7. Webconf Writing Style · brycewang-stanford
    Use when drafting or revising a Web Conference (WWW) paper's prose — building the web-native framing that answers "why is this a WWW paper" on page one, writing for a mixed computing/social-science/economics readership, compressing into 8 self-contained pages, and handling scale numbers and platform names with precision.

  8. Webconf Review Process · brycewang-stanford
    Use when reasoning about how the Web Conference (WWW) evaluates papers — track-scoped double-blind review, the rebuttal-to-notification pipeline, how the ten research tracks shape reviewer expectations, main versus companion proceedings outcomes, and what authors can and cannot influence at each stage.

  9. Webconf Author Response · brycewang-stanford
    Use when drafting the Web Conference (WWW) rebuttal inside its one-week window, triaging reviews from the venue's mixed systems/mining/social-science reviewer pool, answering misread-track objections, protecting anonymity, and deciding what can honestly be promised for the camera-ready versus what needs new evidence.

  10. Webconf Reproducibility · brycewang-stanford
    Use when hardening the reproducibility of a Web Conference (WWW) paper whose evidence rests on crawls, platform APIs, live systems, or user logs — covering dataset decay, temporal snapshots, seed and environment reporting, the reproducibility appendix inside the 12-page PDF, and honest claims when the Web itself cannot be replayed.

  11. Webconf Topic Selection · brycewang-stanford
    Use when deciding whether a project belongs at the Web Conference (WWW) at all, which of the ten research tracks should review it, whether the short-paper or Web4Good lane fits better, and when the work should instead route to WSDM, SIGIR, CIKM, KDD, ICWSM, WebSci, or an ML flagship.

  12. Webconf Artifact Evaluation · brycewang-stanford
    Use when packaging datasets, models, or code for the Web Conference (WWW) Artifacts Available badge or for reviewer scrutiny, covering archival-repository choice, the light-verification bar, web-data licensing and takedown realities, anonymized artifacts during review, and what the badge does and does not certify.
