# Research Paper Writing

End-to-end workflow for writing and submitting academic papers.

---

## Paper Structure

```
1. Title & Authors
2. Abstract         ← write last, 150-250 words
3. Introduction     ← problem, gap, contributions, roadmap
4. Related Work     ← what exists, why insufficient
5. Methodology      ← your approach, architecture, algorithm
6. Experiments      ← setup, baselines, metrics
7. Results          ← tables, figures, analysis
8. Discussion       ← limitations, broader impact
9. Conclusion       ← summary, future work
10. References
Appendix (optional)
```

## Abstract Formula

```
[PROBLEM] Prior work has struggled with X.
[GAP] Existing approaches fail because Y.
[SOLUTION] We propose Z, which does A and B.
[RESULTS] On benchmark C, we achieve D% improvement.
[IMPACT] This enables E.

## LaTeX Setup

```bash
# Ubuntu/Debian
sudo apt install texlive-full

# macOS
brew install --cask mactex

# Windows
# Install MiKTeX from miktex.org

# Verify
pdflatex --version
bibtex --version
```

### Compile

```bash
pdflatex paper.tex
bibtex paper
pdflatex paper.tex
pdflatex paper.tex   # run 3x for refs to resolve

# Or with latexmk (auto-detects what to run)
latexmk -pdf paper.tex
latexmk -pdf -pvc paper.tex  # continuous preview
```

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath, amssymb, graphicx, booktabs, hyperref}

## Literature Review via arXiv

```bash
# Use /arxiv skill to find papers
# Example searches:
# /arxiv search "GRPO reinforcement learning language model"
# /arxiv search "retrieval augmented generation survey"
# /arxiv get 2401.00001
```

## Figures

```python
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(4, 3))
x = np.linspace(0, 10, 100)
ax.plot(x, np.sin(x), label="Our Method")
ax.plot(x, np.cos(x), "--", label="Baseline")
ax.set_xlabel("Epoch")
ax.set_ylabel("Accuracy")
ax.legend()
ax.grid(alpha=0.3)
plt.tight_layout()
plt.savefig("figure1.pdf", bbox_inches="tight", dpi=300)
```

Include in LaTeX:
```latex
\begin{figure}[t]
\centering
\includegraphics[width=0.8\linewidth]{figure1.pdf}
\caption{Comparison of our method vs baseline.}
\label{fig:main}
\end{figure}
```
