Global Considerations
-
Connectivity: Ensure that each paragraph or sentence seamlessly connects to both the preceding and subsequent ones, creating a cohesive flow.
-
Detail Gradation: Introduce details gradually, starting from high-level concepts and progressively moving to mid-level and then low-level details.
-
Notation Consistency: Maintain uniformity in the use of notation throughout the entire text.
-
Language Review: Utilize a grammar check, rephrase tool, or Language Model tool (LLM) to thoroughly review all texts.
-
2-Round Principle: Continue to read and revise the paper until no major issues are found in the final two rounds of review.
Minor Considerations
-
Citations and References:
- Ensure that each figure, table, and algorithm is cited at least once in the text.
- Provide a space on the left-hand side of each citation or reference, and enclose each citation within all parentheses ( ) and brackets [ ].
- Verify that every citation and reference has the correct and unique resource ID in \ref{}.
- Check the PDF for any occurrences of “?”.
-
Formatting and Layout:
- Maintain a font size in figures and tables that is comparable to the text, without being significantly smaller.
- Avoid sentences that are excessively long (more than 3 lines in double column or 2 lines in single column).
- Avoid overly short lines consisting of only one or two words.
- Avoid using paragraphs with three lines or fewer.
- Minimize excessive white space within figures.
