FSE Supplementary Material Guide
Guides researchers in partitioning content between ESEC/FSE paper bodies, appendices, and double-anonymous replication packages within ACM page limits.
The FSE Supplementary skill provides specialized guidance for software engineering researchers preparing submissions for ACM ESEC/FSE. Enforcing the core principle that paper submissions must be fully judgeable from reviewed pages alone, this skill helps authors decide precisely what evidence belongs in the primary manuscript versus supplementary artifacts. With built-in guidelines for ACM page budget management, double-anonymous artifact sanitation (stripping metadata, repository histories, and user paths), and appendix structuring, this skill ensures that empirical software engineering submissions remain self-contained, compliant, and publication-ready.
