Venue Templates

When to Use This Skill

This skill should be used when:

• Preparing a manuscript for submission to a specific journal (Nature, Science, PLOS, IEEE, etc.)
• Writing a conference paper with specific formatting requirements (NeurIPS, ICML, CHI, etc.)
• Creating an academic research poster for conferences
• Drafting grant proposals for federal agencies (NSF, NIH, DOE, DARPA) or private foundations
• Checking formatting requirements and page limits for target venues
• Customizing templates with author information and project details
• Verifying document compliance with venue specifications

Visual Enhancement with Scientific Schematics

When creating documents with this skill, always consider adding scientific diagrams and schematics to enhance visual communication.

If your document does not already contain schematics or diagrams:

• Use the scientific-schematics skill to generate AI-powered publication-quality diagrams
• Simply describe your desired diagram in natural language
• Nano Banana Pro will automatically generate, review, and refine the schematic

For new documents: Scientific schematics should be generated by default to visually represent key concepts, workflows, architectures, or relationships described in the text.

How to generate schematics:

The AI will automatically:

• Create publication-quality images with proper formatting
• Review and refine through multiple iterations
• Ensure accessibility (colorblind-friendly, high contrast)
• Save outputs in the figures/ directory

When to add schematics:

• Methodology flowcharts for papers
• Conceptual framework diagrams
• System architecture illustrations
• Data flow diagrams
• Experimental design visualizations
• Research workflow diagrams
• Any complex concept that benefits from visualization

For detailed guidance on creating schematics, refer to the scientific-schematics skill documentation.
