# IJCAI Workflow

Use this as the project-management skill for an IJCAI submission. Replace all dates with the
current official timetable and work backwards from Chairing Tool cutoffs.

## Milestones

- Venue fit: choose main track, a special track, Survey Track, or a different AI venue.
- Evidence lock: freeze contribution, experiments, proofs, datasets, reproducibility story,
  supplement, and resubmission package.
- Abstract deadline: register a real title, brief abstract, authors, contact details, and
  keywords. Placeholder abstracts are unsafe.
- Author-information deadline: ensure every coauthor has confirmed authorship, ORCID status,
  and required profile fields.
- Full-paper deadline: upload anonymous PDF, supplementary material, resubmission files, and
  Chairing Tool fields.
- Payment checkpoint: handle any non-primary paper fee by the current deadline.
- Phase 1: plan for summary-reject risk by making the contribution obvious within two reads.
- Response period: answer only pressing questions, factual errors, or unethical-review issues.
- Acceptance: submit camera-ready files, copyright/metadata, registration, presentation plan,
  and public artifact release.
