# Venue Templates
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
Access comprehensive LaTeX templates, formatting requirements, and submission guidelines for major scientific publication venues, academic conferences, research posters, and grant proposals. This skill provides ready-to-use templates and detailed specifications for successful academic submissions across disciplines.
|
||||
|
||||
Use this skill when preparing manuscripts for journal submission, conference papers, research posters, or grant proposals and need venue-specific formatting requirements and templates.
|
||||
|
||||
## When to Use This Skill
|
||||
|
||||
This skill should be used when:
|
||||
- Preparing a manuscript for submission to a specific journal (Nature, Science, PLOS, IEEE, etc.)
|
||||
- Writing a conference paper with specific formatting requirements (NeurIPS, ICML, CHI, etc.)
|
||||
- Creating an academic research poster for conferences
|
||||
- Drafting grant proposals for federal agencies (NSF, NIH, DOE, DARPA) or private foundations
|
||||
- Checking formatting requirements and page limits for target venues
|
||||
- Customizing templates with author information and project details
|
||||
- Verifying document compliance with venue specifications
|
||||
|
||||
## Visual Enhancement with Scientific Schematics
|
||||
|
||||
**When creating documents with this skill, always consider adding scientific diagrams and schematics to enhance visual communication.**
|
||||
|
||||
If your document does not already contain schematics or diagrams:
|
||||
- Use the **scientific-schematics** skill to generate AI-powered publication-quality diagrams
|
||||
- Simply describe your desired diagram in natural language
|
||||
- Nano Banana Pro will automatically generate, review, and refine the schematic
|
||||
|
||||
**For new documents:** Scientific schematics should be generated by default to visually represent key concepts, workflows, architectures, or relationships described in the text.
|
||||
|
||||
**How to generate schematics:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
python scripts/generate_schematic.py "your diagram description" -o figures/output.png
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The AI will automatically:
|
||||
- Create publication-quality images with proper formatting
|
||||
- Review and refine through multiple iterations
|
||||
- Ensure accessibility (colorblind-friendly, high contrast)
|
||||
- Save outputs in the figures/ directory
|
||||
|
||||
**When to add schematics:**
|
||||
- Methodology flowcharts for papers
|
||||
- Conceptual framework diagrams
|
||||
- System architecture illustrations
|
||||
- Data flow diagrams
|
||||
- Experimental design visualizations
|
||||
- Research workflow diagrams
|
||||
- Any complex concept that benefits from visualization
|
||||
|
||||
For detailed guidance on creating schematics, refer to the scientific-schematics skill documentation.

% ====================

% Some successful Specific Aims pages use this alternative structure:
|

% - Open with hook (same as above)
|
||||
% - State long-term goal and objective (same)
|
||||
% - Present central hypothesis with 2-3 supporting pieces of preliminary data
|
||||
% - Then state: "We will test this hypothesis through three Specific Aims:"
|
||||
% - List aims more concisely (1-2 sentences each, plus expected outcome)
|

|
||||
|

% ====================
|
||||
% TIPS FOR WRITING SPECIFIC AIMS
|
||||
% ====================
|
||||
|
||||
% 1. START WITH A HOOK
|
||||
% - Open with the big picture: disease burden, societal cost, mortality
|
||||
% - Use compelling statistics
|
||||
% - Make it clear why anyone should care
|
||||
|
||||
% 2. IDENTIFY THE GAP
|
||||
% - What's currently known?
|
||||
% - What's the critical barrier or unknown?
|
||||
% - Why does it matter?
|
||||
|
||||
% 3. STATE YOUR HYPOTHESIS EXPLICITLY
|
||||
% - Clear, testable hypothesis
|
||||
% - Not "We hypothesize that we will study..." (that's not a hypothesis!)
|
||||
% - "We hypothesize that [mechanism] causes [outcome]"
|
||||
|
||||
% 4. SHOW PRELIMINARY DATA
|
||||
% - Demonstrate feasibility
|
||||
% - Prove you're not starting from scratch
|
||||
% - Build confidence in your approach
|
||||
|
||||
% 5. THREE AIMS (TYPICALLY)
|
||||
% - Can be 2 or 4, but 3 is most common
|
||||
% - Aims should be related but somewhat independent
|
||||
% - Failure of one aim shouldn't sink the whole project
|
||||
% - Aims can build on each other (Aim 1 → Aim 2 → Aim 3)
|
||||
|
||||
% 6. EACH AIM SHOULD HAVE:
|
||||
% - Clear title (active verb)
|
||||
% - Working hypothesis
|
||||
% - Approach/method
|
||||
% - Expected outcome
|
||||
% - Significance/impact
|
||||
|
||||
% 7. END WITH PAYOFF
|
||||
% - Innovation: What's new/different?
|
||||
% - Significance: Why does it matter?
|
||||
% - Impact: What will change?
|
||||
% - Future: Where does this lead?
|
||||
|
||||
% 8. COMMON MISTAKES TO AVOID
|
||||
% - Too much background (this is not a mini-review)
|
||||
% - Vague hypotheses or objectives
|
||||
% - Missing expected outcomes
|
||||
% - No preliminary data mentioned
|
||||
% - Too ambitious (can't do it all in 5 years)
|
||||
% - Not addressing innovation and significance
|
||||
% - Poor logical flow between aims
|
||||
% - Exceeding 1 page (auto-reject!)
|
||||
|
||||
% 9. FORMATTING RULES (STRICTLY ENFORCED)
|
||||
% - 1 page maximum (including all text, no figures typically)
|
||||
% - Arial 11pt minimum (or equivalent)
|
||||
% - 0.5 inch margins minimum
|
||||
% - Any spacing (single, 1.5, double acceptable)
|
||||
% - No smaller fonts allowed (even for superscripts/subscripts)
|
||||
|
||||
% 10. REVISION STRATEGY
|
||||
% - Write, get feedback, revise 10+ times
|
||||
% - Every word must earn its place
|
||||
% - Test on non-specialist colleagues
|
||||
% - Read aloud to check flow
|
||||
% - Have it reviewed by successful R01 holders
|
||||
% - Mock study section review
|
||||
|
||||
% ====================
|
||||
% EXAMPLES OF STRONG OPENING SENTENCES
|
||||
% ====================
|
||||
|
||||
% DISEASE BURDEN APPROACH:
|
||||
% "Alzheimer's disease (AD) affects 6.7 million Americans and will cost $345 billion in 2023,
|
||||
% yet no disease-modifying therapies exist."
|
||||
|
||||
% MECHANISTIC GAP APPROACH:
|
||||
% "Despite decades of research, the molecular mechanisms driving metastasis remain poorly understood,
|
||||
% limiting our ability to develop effective therapies for the 90% of cancer deaths caused by metastatic disease."
|
||||
|
||||
% TRANSLATIONAL APPROACH:
|
||||
% "Current immunotherapies fail in 70% of patients with melanoma, largely because we cannot predict
|
||||
% who will respond, highlighting an urgent need for biomarkers of treatment response."
|
||||
|
||||
% ====================
|
||||
% REMEMBER
|
||||
% ====================
|
||||
|
||||
% The Specific Aims page is often the ONLY page reviewers read carefully before
|
||||
% forming their initial opinion. A weak Specific Aims page can doom an otherwise
|
||||
% excellent proposal. Invest the time to make it compelling, clear, and concise.
|
||||
|
||||
% Get feedback from:
|
||||
% - Successful R01 awardees in your field
|
||||
% - Grant writing office at your institution
|
||||
% - Colleagues who've served on NIH study sections
|
||||
% - Non-specialists (if they can't understand it, reviewers may struggle too)

## General Conference Submission Guidelines
|
||||
|
||||
### Anonymization Best Practices (Double-Blind Review)
|
||||
|
||||
**Remove**:
|
||||
- Author names, affiliations, emails from title page
|
||||
- Acknowledgments section
|
||||
- Funding information that reveals identity
|
||||
- Any "our previous work" citations that make identity obvious
|
||||
|
||||
**Anonymize**:
|
||||
- Self-citations: "Smith et al. [5]" → "Anonymous et al. [5]" or "Prior work [5]"
|
||||
- Institution-specific details: "our university" → "a large research university"
|
||||
- Dataset names if they reveal identity
|
||||
|
||||
**Keep Anonymous**:
|
||||
- Code repositories (use anonymous GitHub for review)
|
||||
- Supplementary materials
|
||||
- Any URLs or links
|
||||
|
||||
### Supplementary Materials
|
||||
|
||||
**Common Inclusions**:
|
||||
- Source code (GitHub repository, zip file)
|
||||
- Additional experimental results
|
||||
- Proofs and derivations
|
||||
- Extended related work
|
||||
- Dataset descriptions
|
||||
- Video demonstrations
|
||||
- Interactive demos
|
||||
|
||||
**Best Practices**:
|
||||
- Keep supplementary well-organized
|
||||
- Reference supplementary clearly from main paper
|
||||
- Ensure supplementary is anonymized for blind review
|
||||
- Check file size limits (typically 50-100 MB)
|
||||
|
||||
### Camera-Ready Preparation
|
||||
|
||||
After acceptance:
|
||||
1. **De-anonymize**: Add author names, affiliations
|
||||
2. **Add acknowledgments**: Funding, contributions
|
||||
3. **Copyright**: Add conference copyright notice
|
||||
4. **Formatting**: Follow camera-ready specific guidelines
|
||||
5. **Page limit**: May allow 1-2 extra pages (check guidelines)
|
||||
6. **PDF/A compliance**: Some conferences require PDF/A format
|
||||
|
||||
### Accessibility Considerations
|
||||
|
||||
**For All Conferences**:
|
||||
- Use colorblind-safe color palettes
|
||||
- Ensure sufficient contrast
|
||||
- Provide alt text for figures (where supported)
|
||||
- Use clear, readable fonts
|
||||
- Avoid solely color-based distinctions
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Common Mistakes to Avoid
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Wrong style file**: Using outdated conference style file
|
||||
2. **Page limit violation**: Figures/tables pushing over limit
|
||||
3. **Font size manipulation**: Changing fonts to fit more content
|
||||
4. **Margin adjustments**: Modifying margins to gain space
|
||||
5. **De-anonymization**: Accidentally revealing identity in blind review
|
||||
6. **Missing references**: Not citing relevant prior work
|
||||
7. **Low-quality figures**: Pixelated or illegible figures
|
||||
8. **Inconsistent formatting**: Different sections using different styles
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Getting Official Templates
|
||||
|
||||
**Where to Find Official Templates**:
|
||||
1. **Conference website**: "Call for Papers" or "Author Instructions"
|
||||
2. **GitHub**: Many conferences host templates on GitHub
|
||||
3. **Overleaf**: Many official templates available on Overleaf
|
||||
4. **CTAN**: LaTeX class files often on CTAN repository
|
||||
|
||||
**Template Naming**:
|
||||
- Conferences often update templates yearly
|
||||
- Use the correct year's template (e.g., `neurips_2024.sty`)
|
||||
- Check for "camera-ready" vs. "submission" versions
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Notes
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Annual updates**: Conference requirements change; always check current year's CFP
|
||||
2. **Deadline types**:
|
||||
- Abstract deadline (often 1 week before paper deadline)
|
||||
- Paper deadline (firm, no extensions typically)
|
||||
- Supplementary deadline (may be a few days after paper)
|
||||
3. **Timezone**: Pay attention to deadline timezone (often AOE - Anywhere on Earth)
|
||||
4. **Rebuttal**: Many conferences have author response/rebuttal periods
|
||||
5. **Dual submission**: Check conference policy on concurrent submissions
|
||||
6. **Poster/Oral**: Acceptance often comes with presentation format
|
||||
|
||||

## General Best Practices
|
||||
|
||||
### Writing Effective Proposals
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Start early**: 2-3 months minimum
|
||||
2. **Read the call carefully**: Follow requirements exactly
|
||||
3. **Know your reviewers**: Write for expert audience
|
||||
4. **Tell a story**: Compelling narrative with clear logic
|
||||
5. **Be specific**: Concrete objectives, methods, outcomes
|
||||
6. **Show feasibility**: Preliminary data, expertise
|
||||
7. **Address weaknesses**: Acknowledge and mitigate risks
|
||||
|
||||
### Common Mistakes to Avoid
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Vague objectives**: "Understand X" → "Determine whether X causes Y"
|
||||
2. **Lack of innovation**: Incremental vs. transformative
|
||||
3. **Poor broader impacts** (NSF): Generic, unintegrated
|
||||
4. **Weak specific aims** (NIH): Most critical page!
|
||||
5. **Missing preliminary data**: Show feasibility
|
||||
6. **Unrealistic timeline**: Be honest about what's achievable
|
||||
7. **Formatting violations**: Auto-rejection possible
|
||||
8. **Typos and errors**: Suggests lack of care
|
||||
|
||||
### Timeline for Proposal Development
|
||||
|
||||
**3 months before deadline**:
|
||||
- Identify opportunity
|
||||
- Assemble team
|
||||
- Outline aims/objectives
|
||||
|
||||
**2 months before**:
|
||||
- Draft aims/objectives
|
||||
- Preliminary budget
|
||||
- Contact program officer (if allowed)
|
||||
|
||||
**1 month before**:
|
||||
- Full first draft
|
||||
- Internal review
|
||||
- Revise based on feedback
|
||||
|
||||
**2 weeks before**:
|
||||
- Final revisions
|
||||
- Proofread carefully
|
||||
- Assemble all documents
|
||||
|
||||
**1 week before**:
|
||||
- Institutional review/approval
|
||||
- Budget finalization
|
||||
- Submission system upload
|
||||
|
||||
**2 days before**:
|
||||

|
||||
## Typography and Font Sizes
|
||||
|
||||
### Recommended Font Sizes by Distance
|
||||
|
||||
Posters are viewed from 3-6 feet (1-2 meters) away:
|
||||
|
||||
| Element | Size Range | Recommended |
|
||||
|---------|-----------|-------------|
|
||||
| **Title** | 60-85 pt | 72-85 pt |
|
||||
| **Author Names** | 48-60 pt | 54 pt |
|
||||
| **Affiliations** | 32-40 pt | 36 pt |
|
||||
| **Section Headers** | 36-48 pt | 42 pt |
|
||||
| **Body Text** | 24-32 pt | 28 pt |
|
||||
| **Figure Captions** | 20-24 pt | 22 pt |
|
||||
| **References** | 18-22 pt | 20 pt |
|
||||
|
||||
### Font Families
|
||||
|
||||
**Sans-Serif (Recommended for Posters)**:
|
||||
- Arial
|
||||
- Helvetica
|
||||
- Calibri
|
||||
- Futura
|
||||
- Gill Sans
|
||||
- **Why**: Clean, readable at distance
|
||||
|
||||
**Serif (Use Sparingly)**:
|
||||
- Times New Roman
|
||||
- Georgia
|
||||
- Palatino
|
||||
- **When**: Body text if preferred, but sans-serif better for headers
|
||||
|
||||
**Monospace**:
|
||||
- Courier New
|
||||
- Consolas
|
||||
- **When**: Code snippets only
|
||||
|
||||
### Typography Best Practices
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Limit fonts**: Use 1-2 font families maximum
|
||||
2. **Hierarchy**: Establish clear size hierarchy
|
||||
3. **Weight**: Use bold for emphasis, not italics
|
||||
4. **Alignment**: Left-align body text, center title
|
||||
5. **Spacing**: Generous line spacing (1.2-1.5)
|
||||
6. **Consistency**: Same fonts for similar elements
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Layout and Design Principles
|
||||
|
||||
### Grid-Based Layouts
|
||||
|
||||
**Column Structures**:
|
||||
|
||||
| Layout | Columns | Best For |
|
||||
|--------|---------|----------|
|
||||
| **Single Column** | 1 | Simple, linear flow; timeline posters |
|
||||
| **Two Column** | 2 | Most common; balanced layout |
|
||||
| **Three Column** | 3 | Dense content; multi-part studies |
|
||||
| **Four Column** | 4 | Very dense; avoid if possible |
|
||||
|
||||
**Recommended**: **2 or 3 columns** for most research posters
|
||||
|
||||
### Visual Flow
|
||||
|
||||
**Reading Order** (Western conventions):
|
||||
1. Top to bottom
|
||||
2. Left to right
|
||||
3. Z-pattern or F-pattern
|
||||
|
||||
**Section Ordering** (typical):
|
||||
```
|
||||
+----------------------------------+
|
||||
| TITLE |
|
||||
| Authors, Affiliations |
|
||||
+----------------------------------+
|
||||
| Introduction | Results |
|
||||
| | |
|
||||
| Methods | Discussion |
|
||||
| | |
|
||||
| [Optional] | Conclusions |
|
||||
+----------------------------------+
|
||||
| References / QR Code |
|
||||
+----------------------------------+
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Spacing and Margins
|
||||
|
||||
- **Outer margins**: 1-2 inches (2.5-5 cm) all sides
|
||||
- **Column spacing**: 0.5-1 inch (1.3-2.5 cm)
|
||||
- **Inter-section spacing**: 0.5-1 inch
|
||||
- **White space**: 30-40% of poster should be white space
|
||||
|
||||
**Avoid**: Dense, text-heavy layouts with minimal white space
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Color Schemes
|
||||
|
||||
### Colorblind-Safe Palettes
|
||||
|
||||
Use colorblind-friendly color combinations:
|
||||
|
||||
**Okabe-Ito Palette** (Recommended):
|
||||
- Orange: `#E69F00`
|
||||
- Sky Blue: `#56B4E9`
|
||||
- Bluish Green: `#009E73`
|
||||
- Yellow: `#F0E442`
|
||||
- Blue: `#0072B2`
|
||||
- Vermillion: `#D55E00`
|
||||
- Reddish Purple: `#CC79A7`
|
||||
- Black: `#000000`
|
||||
- Gray: `#999999`
|
||||
|
||||
**Viridis Palette** (sequential):
|
||||
- Good for heatmaps and gradients
|
||||
- Colorblind-safe and perceptually uniform
|
||||
|
||||
### Color Usage Guidelines
|
||||
|
||||
**Background**:
|
||||
- **White or light gray**: Most common, professional
|
||||
- **Light colored**: Pale blue, beige (use cautiously)
|
||||
- **Avoid dark backgrounds**: Harder to read, expensive to print
|
||||
|
||||
**Text**:
|
||||
- **Dark on light**: Black or dark gray text on white/light backgrounds
|
||||
- **Contrast ratio**: At least 4.5:1 (WCAG AA standard)
|
||||
|
||||
**Accent Colors**:
|
||||
- Use 2-3 accent colors maximum
|
||||
- Section headers, key findings
|
||||
- Consistent throughout poster
|
||||
|
||||
**Figures**:
|
||||
- Colorblind-safe palettes
|
||||
- Sufficient contrast
|
||||
- Test in grayscale
|
||||
|
||||
### Color Contrast Tools
|
||||
- WebAIM Contrast Checker: https://webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker/
|
||||

## Design Best Practices
|
||||
|
||||
### Do's
|
||||
|
||||
✓ **Use large fonts** (28pt+ for body text)
|
||||
✓ **Keep text minimal** (30-40% of poster)
|
||||
✓ **Use visuals** (60-70% figures, plots, images)
|
||||
✓ **Tell a story** (clear narrative flow)
|
||||
✓ **Colorblind-safe colors**
|
||||
✓ **Test readability** (view from 6 feet away)
|
||||
✓ **Include contact info** (email, QR code)
|
||||
✓ **Proofread** (multiple times!)
|
||||
|
||||
### Don'ts
|
||||
|
||||
✗ **Don't use small fonts** (<24pt body text)
|
||||
✗ **Don't overcrowd** (leave white space)
|
||||
✗ **Don't use complex tables** (simplify or visualize)
|
||||
✗ **Don't use full paragraphs** (use bullets)
|
||||
✗ **Don't use many fonts** (1-2 max)
|
||||
✗ **Don't use low-res images** (<300 dpi)
|
||||
✗ **Don't use red-green contrasts** (colorblind issue)
|
||||
✗ **Don't make it a paper** (posters ≠ papers)
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Poster Presentation Tips
|
||||
|
||||
### During the Poster Session
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Stand by your poster**: Be available, engaged
|
||||
2. **Elevator pitch ready**: 1-2 minute summary prepared
|
||||
3. **Different depths**: Short version (1 min), medium (3 min), deep dive (10 min)
|
||||
4. **Engage visitors**: Ask questions, invite discussion
|
||||
5. **Business cards**: Have them ready
|
||||
6. **Notebook**: Record feedback, questions
|
||||
7. **Handouts**: Optional 1-page summary (with QR code)
|
||||
|
||||
### Talking Through Your Poster
|
||||
|
||||
**30-second version**:
|
||||
- What is the problem?
|
||||
- What did you do?
|
||||
- What did you find?
|
||||
|
||||
**2-minute version**:
|
||||
- Background + motivation
|
||||
- Methods (briefly)
|
||||
- Key result (show main figure)
|
||||
- Conclusion + implications
|
||||
|
||||
**5+ minute version**:
|
||||
- Full walkthrough
|
||||
- Address specific questions
|
||||
- Discuss limitations, future work
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Accessibility Considerations
|
||||
|
||||
### Visual Accessibility
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Color contrast**: High contrast (4.5:1 minimum)
|
||||
2. **Colorblind-safe**: Use Okabe-Ito or similar palettes
|
||||
3. **Font size**: Large enough to read from distance
|
||||
4. **Font choice**: Clear, sans-serif fonts
|
||||
5. **Alt text**: Consider providing text description
|
||||
|
||||
### Physical Accessibility
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Mounting height**: Low enough for wheelchair users to read bottom
|
||||
2. **QR codes**: Provide alternative (short URL, handout)
|
||||
