Tips for Award-Worthy Papers

Your Conference Record paper should specifically include these items:

• An introduction that describes the research field and goal of the paper.
• Discussion of the scientific basis and state of the art (e.g., signal processing involved, mathematics related to the paper, scientific support for the chosen material and method, etc.).
• A Materials and Methods section that describes the work and how it was done.
• A section that presents all results.
• A discussion section that explains results and shows the originality of the work, compared to previous efforts or to projects from other researchers.
• Conclusions, briefly summarizing the points that others should remember from your paper.
• References that show understanding of your field and proper acknowledgement of the work of others, and which point the reader toward useful further information. Some rules of thumb are that a paper of this length should have at least 10 references, and that fewer than 1/3 of the references should be from your (or your team's) previous works.
