What it does
Icdm Topic Selection is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when deciding whether a project is a strong ICDM (IEEE International Conference on Data Mining) fit, choosing among its Research, Applied, and Blue Sky tracks, and comparing ICDM with KDD, SDM, CIKM, WSDM, WWW, ICDE, or the ML flagships by contribution type, sponsor community, and the data-mining routing calendar seen from ICDM's June deadline.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k 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.

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 932eb23. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Icdm Topic Selection loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 93 tokens; SKILL.md has 579 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.
Safety
Auto-check passed
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.

- description
- Use when deciding whether a project is a strong ICDM (IEEE International Conference on Data Mining) fit, choosing among its Research, Applied, and Blue Sky tracks, and comparing ICDM with KDD, SDM, CIKM, WSDM, WWW, ICDE, or the ML flagships by contribution type, sponsor community, and the data-mining routing calendar seen from ICDM's June deadline.
ICDM Topic Selection
Use this before writing. Two decisions happen here: is the work ICDM-shaped at all, and if so, which track. ICDM is the IEEE-sponsored data-mining flagship; it rewards a named data-mining mechanism on a defined mining task with strong baselines and a scalability or discovery-validity story — not pure learning theory, and not a broad deep-learning systems result.
Fit test
- Prefer ICDM when the contribution is a data-mining method: pattern discovery, graph mining, anomaly detection, temporal/streaming mining, clustering, or scalable analytics, with an algorithmic idea and defensible empirical evidence.
- Route to SDM (SIAM) if the contribution is primarily mathematical/statistical rigor in a mining method — SDM's community weights theory and analysis more heavily.
- Route to KDD if the work is large-scale applied discovery or a deployed data-science system aimed at the biggest data-mining audience and its two-cycle calendar.
- Route to CIKM for information/knowledge management, IR, and database-adjacent work; to WSDM for web-and-social search and mining; to WWW/TheWebConf for web-native contributions; to ICDE/SIGMOD/VLDB for database-systems results.
- Route to an ML flagship (NeurIPS/ICML/ICLR) if the contribution is a general learning method with thin data-mining specificity.
Track fork within ICDM
| Track | 2026 review | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Research | Triple-blind | A novel mining algorithm/mechanism with baselines and scale evidence |
| Applied | Single-blind (new in 2026) | A deployed/industrial system with measured real-world impact |
| Blue Sky | CCC-sponsored | A visionary, forward-looking position with a research agenda |
If a project is a deployed system whose contribution is the deployment and its measured outcomes, the Applied Track fits and spares you the triple-blind anonymization burden. If the contribution is the algorithm and the deployment is illustrative, stay on Research.
Fit signal table
| Signal in the project | ICDM reading |
|---|---|
| Named mining mechanism + baselines + scaling curve | Core fit — the house genre |
| Anomaly/graph/pattern/stream mining with a discovery-validity argument | Core fit |
| Deployed system with quantified impact, deployment is the point | Applied Track |
| Pure statistical/theoretical mining analysis | Better served at SDM |
| Broad deep-learning method, little mining specificity | Route to an ML flagship |
| Database-systems or query contribution | Route to ICDE/SIGMOD/VLDB |

The routing calendar from ICDM's seat
ICDM's deadline sits in June, conference in November. That position matters when choosing where a finished project goes next: a paper not ready for ICDM's June can often target CIKM (spring deadline, autumn conference) the same year, WSDM (late-summer deadline, following spring), SDM (autumn deadline, following spring), or KDD's next cycle. Choose by community and format fit, not prestige — the same result reads differently to each pool.
Vignette: where a streaming anomaly detector goes
A project delivers a one-pass anomaly detector for edge streams with a memory bound and experiments on injected anomalies. ICDM reading: strong Research Track fit — a named mining mechanism, a scaling argument, and a discovery-validity claim. Strip the mechanism and keep only "we deployed it and fraud dropped," and it becomes an Applied Track paper (or a KDD applied submission). Grow it into a pure asymptotic analysis of the sketch with no system, and SDM becomes the better community.
Sharpening moves before committing
- Name the mining task and the data regime in one sentence; if you cannot, the ICDM framing does not exist yet.
- Name the single mechanism the contribution rests on, and the baseline it beats for a stated reason, not just on a leaderboard.
- Confirm the whole argument — body, references, appendix — can fit ICDM's 10-page all-inclusive cap; a result needing 14 pages is a journal or SDM paper.
- Topic emphasis and track lineup drift between editions; scan the current calls before final routing.
