# IJCAI Related Work

Use this to audit novelty, prior work, and submission eligibility. Reopen the current CFP and
submissions FAQ because resubmission and dual-submission rules are policy-sensitive.

## Positioning checks

- Distinguish non-archival workshop or poster versions from formally published proceedings
  with DOI, ISBN, or ISSN.
- If the paper was rejected by another peer-reviewed conference in the last 12 months,
  prepare the required anonymized rejected version and reviews; the response cover letter may
  be optional depending on current rules.
- Cite author preprints and prior work in third person. A non-anonymous arXiv version may be
  allowed, but the IJCAI submission itself must remain anonymous.
- Do not submit a paper that is under review, accepted, or published at another formal
  archival venue during the IJCAI review period.
- If a substantially shorter extended abstract, poster, or position paper exists, declare it
  when current rules require and explain the new technical content.
- Make the related-work section decision-useful: closest competing claims, why they are
  insufficient, and exactly what is new here.
