Use the following notation to create the folder - (e.g., seth-influence, jaewon-communities) * We keep each section of the paper in a separate file (000abstract.tex, 010intro.tex, ...). Here is a paper template that you can use: http://snap.stanford.edu/svn/snap2/docs/papers/samplePaper.zip * We put the figures (EPS files) into the FIG folder (see samplePaper.zip) * We use the Makefile to compile the LaTeX source into PDF. If you rename the *.tex files make sure you also edit the Makefile appropriately. * Now that you have the skeleton of the paper ready add it to the repository: "svn add my-paper". Make sure you only add *.tex, *.bib, Makefile and the FIG folder. Don't add *.aux and other temporary files. === Tips on writing good papers === For a nice set of tips and guidelines on how to write a good technical paper see Jennifer Widom's page: http://infolab.stanford.edu/~widom/paper-writing.html
