Research Guidelines

Getting Started with Research

1. Identify a topic aligned with the group’s research areas, or propose a related idea.
2. Review the literature — recent, peer-reviewed work in indexed journals and reputable conferences.
3. Define the contribution — be explicit about the gap and what is novel.
4. Plan and execute — design experiments carefully and keep work reproducible.
5. Write and revise — draft early, revise thoroughly, follow the venue’s formatting.

Research Integrity

• Cite all sources properly; never plagiarize.
• Report results truthfully; do not fabricate or selectively omit data.
• Ensure reproducibility through careful documentation of methods, data, and code.
• Respect authorship norms and acknowledge every contributor fairly.
• Follow ethical guidelines for data collection and human/animal subjects where relevant.
• Check similarity before submission; many venues desk-reject high-similarity papers.
