Cikm Topic Selection is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when deciding whether a project fits CIKM, the tri-community ACM venue spanning information retrieval, data mining, and knowledge management/databases, when weighing CIKM against SIGIR, KDD, WSDM, TheWebConf, SIGMOD/VLDB, or ISWC, and when choosing among CIKM's five tracks before writing begins.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
The repository describes itself as: Journal-specific Claude Code/Codex skill packs covering mainstream journals — AER, QJE, Nature, Cell, 管理世界, 经济研究 & 200+ more — your fast track to getting published. | 覆盖主流期刊的… The licence is MIT.

Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

Cikm Topic Selection loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 80 tokens; SKILL.md has 924 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

.claude/skills/cikm-topic-selection/SKILL.md (or your agent's skills folder).CIKM is the room where three communities meet: information retrieval, data mining, and knowledge management with its database roots. Its sponsorship tells the story — ACM SIGIR (since 1993) plus SIGWEB (since 2006) — and its 2026 self-description spans information access, knowledge representation, data integration, and personalization (source map, checked 2026-07-08). Fit questions here are therefore different from single-community venues: the issue is rarely "is this in scope" and usually "is the breadth an advantage for this particular paper."
Ask which communities the paper genuinely speaks to, then count:
CIKM's May deadline and November meeting make it the information family's fall harvest: work that missed or matured past SIGIR's January gate, KDD's February cycle-2 gate, or that wants a decision before WSDM's August gate. Using CIKM as the next stop after a sibling rejection is normal community practice — but only after the prior reviews are actually absorbed. A resubmission with untouched weaknesses will meet a reviewer pool that overlaps heavily with the one that wrote those reviews.
| Neighbor | Its center of gravity | Send the paper there instead when... |
|---|---|---|
| SIGIR | Retrieval and its evaluation culture | Ranking quality/IR evaluation is the entire contribution |
| KDD | Mining at scale; deployment evidence (ADS) | The story is data-regime scale or a production launch |
| WSDM | Web/social interaction data, small selective single track | The object of study is specifically web or social-web behavior |
| TheWebConf | The web as an artifact and ecosystem | Web standards, platforms, or web-scale measurement lead |
| SIGMOD/VLDB | Data systems internals | The contribution is storage, indexing internals, or query processing |
| ISWC / KR | Semantic-web formalisms; formal reasoning | Ontology languages or logic, not applied knowledge systems |
The reverse routes matter too: knowledge-graph construction and reasoning for applications, heterogeneous-data integration, entity linking, and enterprise search — work each specialist venue treats as adjacent — is core CIKM territory.
CIKM 2026 fields Full Research (≤10 pp incl. appendices), Short Research (≤4 pp), Applied Research (≤7 pp, requires practical-application evidence such as a system launch or data release), Resource (≤4 pp), and Demonstration (≤4 pp) tracks. Pick by the strongest honest artifact: a rounded method study → Full; one crisp finding → Short; a deployed system with launch evidence → Applied; a dataset/tool others will adopt → Resource; something a person can touch at a booth → Demo. The concurrent submission ban applies across venues, so the same contribution cannot hedge.
A team built a temporal knowledge-graph completion model and wired it into an enterprise document-search assistant. As pure KG-embedding work it competes at scale venues against heavy theory; as pure search work the IR delta is modest. Framed as one system — completion quality and its measured effect on retrieval answers — it becomes a two-lane CIKM paper, with the deployment variant a plausible Applied Research submission if launch metrics exist. That reframing decision is the routing decision.
The venue's name is a scope test you can run on your own abstract. Underline every noun phrase; a CIKM-shaped abstract naturally contains the venue's working vocabulary — retrieval, ranking, mining, knowledge graph, entities, integration, indexing, recommendation, query, corpus, metadata, provenance — because the paper is about information and knowledge objects. If the underlined terms are instead "architecture, layers, loss, benchmark, SOTA," the paper is currently written as a model paper that happens to touch information data, and either the framing or the venue should change. This check costs five minutes and predicts the most common CIKM review complaint: "unclear what this offers the information-management community specifically."
Advisors and hiring committees read CIKM correctly as a large, credible, first-tier-adjacent ACM venue — bigger-tent than SIGIR/KDD/WSDM, with more room for boundary work and applied contributions, and with genuine landmark papers in its back catalog (the exemplars library holds six, TAGME through BERT4Rec). Honest implications:
When fit is genuinely even between CIKM and a specialist sibling, let the calendar decide like a project manager: a result solid in March comfortably makes CIKM's May gate; the same result would wait until KDD's next cycle or SIGIR's January. Six months of shelf life is a real cost in fast-moving areas — LLM-adjacent retrieval and KG work can be scooped in one arXiv season. Conversely, a result that needs one more quarter of experiments should not be rushed into May; the fall slot returns every year.
