Key problem characteristics? Solution Methodology .Intuitive ideas to solve the problem. Novelties? .Theorems, proofs, and derivations, emphasizing the new features and novelties .Performance or complexity analysis .Insights .Let the contributions stand out in an intuitive, exciting, and convincing manner!!! Results and Insights .Description of the test problem, data, and the computer system used .Intuitively and clearly present results and insights,especially illustrate the magic touches .Robustness of the testing: Random data sets plus Monte Carlo simulation .Comparison: Implementing a competing method without calibration is not convincing .Conclusion: Same as the abstract? –Has two parts .Summaryof findings: not a repeat of abstract .Concluding remarks: Failures, future directions, word of wisdom, etc. .Acknowledgment –Acknowledge the funding agencies –Thank individuals References .Have adequate references as presented before –Every paper cited should be in the reference list –Every paper in the reference list should be cited .List references in appropriate format and with complete information A good way to start –A skeleton .What is the problem under consideration? .Why is the problem important? .Why is the problem difficult? –D1, D2, D3.What are the magic touches? –M1,M2,M3.What are the results and insights? –R1, R2, R3 General Guidelines .Structure and Clarity –Logical presentation –Language flow .Be professional and ethical –No plagiarism of others work as well as our own –Cite existing ideas, sentences, and paragraphsin “” –No double submissions! –Violations could result in severe penalties Contents of the talk .Introduction .Difficulties for Chinese scholars .Main contents of a paper .From submission to publication .New world of publication .Summary From submission to publication .Submit a paper .Peer review .Receive decision from the editor .Modify based on comments and then resubmit .Upon acceptance, submit the final package .Galley proof -Return promptly .A baby paper is born after months of labor – generally > 9, not counting research time!
