IEEE ICSME Supplementary Materials Guide
Guides the partitioning of IEEE ICSME paper content between the strict 10-page body and double-anonymous replication artifacts.
The IEEE ICSME Supplementary Materials Guide helps software engineering researchers navigate the strict IEEEtran two-column 10-page limit when preparing submissions for IEEE ICSME. It ensures that all decision-critical evidence, research questions, core study designs, and primary statistical findings remain inside the reviewed paper pages rather than being displaced to optional appendices. Simultaneously, it guides the preparation of compliant, double-anonymous replication packages, mining pipelines, and dataset archives, ensuring reviewers can evaluate papers without missing crucial evidence.
Key Features
01Checks double-anonymous compliance across supplementary archives, metadata, scripts, and links
02Provides a standardized readiness checklist for artifact packaging and anonymity verification
03Validates partitioning so all decision-critical claims and threats to validity stay in the paper body
04Guides the organization of replication packages, mining pipelines, and data notebooks
051,079 GitHub stars
06Enforces the IEEEtran two-column 10-page limit accounting for in-paper figures and appendices
Use Cases
01Auditing submitted artifacts to eliminate de-anonymizing metadata, cluster paths, and repo histories
02Refactoring an over-length ICSME draft to ensure primary results fit within the 10-page budget
03Partitioning empirical software evolution or mining papers between paper body and supplementary archives
