SCI Submission Preflight
Overview
Check public submission materials before upload.
Core principle: submission packages should contain only what the compiler and reviewers need.
Checklist
Use the checklist below for arXiv/journal packages. If the project has a local submission checklist, update it too:
- top-level TeX file identified
- every
\input file included at correct relative path
- all figures included
- no private paths, hostnames, IPs, local model labels, or vendor identifiers unless intended
- bibliography included and citations resolved
- title/authors/abstract metadata match PDF
- public repo/arXiv links correct
- limitations and artifact boundaries preserved
Output
- ready/not-ready judgment
- missing files
- privacy leaks
- compile risks
- metadata fields to paste
Common Mistakes
- Uploading section files without their
sections/ directory path.
- Leaving unused files selected for deletion in arXiv review.
- Forgetting that arXiv source paths are case-sensitive.
- Publishing local/private evidence paths.
