vis-artifact-evaluationUse when packaging an IEEE VIS artifact for the Graphics Replicability Stamp Initiative (GRSI) / TVCG Replicability Stamp and the IEEE VIS Open Practices program, covering what an independent GRSI volunteer reproduces first, DOI-issuing archives, evaluator-proof documentation for visualization code
vis-author-responseUse when drafting IEEE VIS author responses across the two-phase review, covering the first-round reviewer discussion, and — distinctively — the conditional-accept second-round revision with its summary-of-changes that maps every required change to a concrete edit and is re-read by the same primary,
vis-camera-readyUse when preparing an accepted IEEE VIS paper for its IEEE TVCG camera-ready, covering de-anonymization, the VGTC/TVCG template and journal metadata (DOI, ORCID, IEEE keywords/index terms), integrating the second-round required changes without scope creep, permanentizing open-materials links, the Op
vis-experimentsUse when designing or auditing IEEE VIS evaluations, covering how to match evidence to the contribution type (perceptual study, controlled user study, algorithm benchmark, design-study validation, qualitative work), controlled experiment design with power and effect sizes, CVD-safe and perceptually
vis-related-workUse when positioning an IEEE VIS submission against the visualization literature across TVCG, the six VIS areas, EuroVis/CGF, PacificVis, and adjacent HCI/graphics venues, writing delta-first contrast rather than a citation catalog, keeping self-citations double-blind when opted in, and handling con
vis-reproducibilityUse when strengthening IEEE VIS reproducibility and open-practices evidence, covering the open-materials statement, anonymized-but-runnable code and stimuli, preregistration of perceptual and user studies, provenance for datasets and rendering pipelines, claim-to-figure mapping, honest degrees of re
vis-review-processUse when reasoning about how an IEEE VIS full-paper submission is evaluated, covering the two-phase review that mirrors IEEE TVCG, the primary/secondary/external (and 2026 student) reviewer roles, the six-area routing through Area Paper Chairs, the conditional-accept second round, and how VIS's jour
vis-submissionUse when auditing an IEEE VIS full-paper submission for PCS readiness, covering the abstract-then-paper two-deadline structure under the VGTC society, the IEEE VGTC/TVCG 9+2 page budget, author-optional double-blind anonymization, the supplemental-material one-week window, and desk-reject triage bef
vis-supplementaryUse when deciding what belongs in an IEEE VIS paper body versus its supplemental materials, covering the VGTC/TVCG 9+2 page budget, the supplemental video that VIS reviewers routinely watch, the one-week supplemental deadline extension, double-blind supplemental anonymization, and how to split a vis
vis-topic-selectionUse when deciding whether a project belongs at IEEE VIS or should be routed to EuroVis, PacificVis, CHI, a graphics venue, or the IEEE TVCG journal track, and when choosing among the six VIS areas (Theoretical & Empirical, Applications, Systems & Rendering, Representations & Interaction, Data Transf
vis-workflowUse when planning an IEEE VIS project timeline from area fit through the abstract and full-paper deadlines, the two-phase review, the conditional-accept second round, the IEEE TVCG camera-ready, the Graphics Replicability Stamp, and presentation, with backward-planning offsets for a visualization pa
vis-writing-styleUse when revising an IEEE VIS paper for a task-grounded visualization contribution on the first page, a design rationale that ties each visual encoding and interaction to a task, evaluation matched to the contribution type, honest limitations, and disciplined use of the VGTC/TVCG 9+2 page budget for
