Why we included this project

This handbook speaks to the situation coursework never prepares you for: the results are done, the conference deadline is close, and the manuscript is still a blank Overleaf page. Written by researchers with real publication experience, it walks from pinning down a paper's core idea and structuring the introduction through readability fixes and the revision loop. The advice is concrete, as in the discussion of how the ResNet paper frames its story, and it is honest about the difference between chasing benchmark numbers and making a genuinely novel contribution. It is reading material rather than runnable software, but the value is structural: a reference that explicitly invites peer review and can save a first-time author from a painful rejection cycle. For teams mentoring students through a first paper, it makes a solid shared starting point.
