Overview

Concrete review pattern for manually verifying that a contributed paper entry conforms to the Awesome Inference Time Scaling repository's template format.

Description

This implementation documents the manual review process that contributors and reviewers should follow to validate paper entries against the template defined in README.md:L39-51. There is no programmatic API or automated linter for this validation -- it is performed through visual inspection and a structured checklist.

The review pattern is designed to catch common formatting errors before a pull request is submitted, reducing the back-and-forth between contributors and the maintainer during the review cycle.

Usage

Use this review pattern:

• Before committing -- As a self-check after composing a paper entry.
• Before opening a PR -- As a final validation step to ensure your contribution will pass maintainer review.
• When reviewing others' PRs -- As a structured approach to checking format compliance.
• After using the automated script -- Even auto-generated entries should be reviewed against this checklist.

Interface Specification

Review Checklist

This is a manual review pattern with no programmatic interface. The "interface" is a structured checklist applied by human inspection.

#	Check Item	Expected Format	Common Errors
1	Title with arXiv link	🔹 [Title](https://arxiv.org/abs/{id})	Missing emoji, broken link syntax, wrong URL (using PDF URL instead of abs URL)
2	arXiv PDF Link	🔗 **arXiv PDF Link:** [Paper Link](https://arxiv.org/pdf/{id})	Missing bold markers, wrong URL pattern, mismatched arXiv ID
3	Authors list	👤 **Authors:** Name1, Name2, ...	Missing bold markers, incomplete author list, wrong delimiter
4	Date	🗓️ **Date:** YYYY-MM-DD	Wrong date format (MM/DD/YYYY, DD-MM-YYYY), missing leading zeros
5	Publisher	📑 **Publisher:** Venue Name	Missing field entirely, incorrect venue
6	Abstract block	📝 **Abstract:** followed by <details><summary>Expand</summary>...</details>	Missing <details> tags, missing closing tag, no summary text, abstract outside the collapsible block

Verification Process

PATTERN: Entry Format Review

FOR EACH paper entry in the contribution:

  STEP 1 — Title Line Check:
    [ ] Entry begins with 🔹 emoji
    [ ] Title is wrapped in markdown link syntax: [Title](URL)
    [ ] URL points to https://arxiv.org/abs/{arxivId}
    [ ] The arXiv ID is numeric and valid

  STEP 2 — PDF Link Check:
    [ ] Line begins with "- 🔗"
    [ ] Label is bold: **arXiv PDF Link:**
    [ ] Link text is "Paper Link"
    [ ] URL points to https://arxiv.org/pdf/{arxivId}
    [ ] The arXiv ID matches the one in the title line

  STEP 3 — Authors Check:
    [ ] Line begins with "- 👤"
    [ ] Label is bold: **Authors:**
    [ ] At least one author is listed
    [ ] Authors are comma-separated

  STEP 4 — Date Check:
    [ ] Line begins with "- 🗓️"
    [ ] Label is bold: **Date:**
    [ ] Date follows YYYY-MM-DD format
    [ ] Date is a valid calendar date
    [ ] Date matches the paper's actual publication/preprint date

  STEP 5 — Publisher Check:
    [ ] Line begins with "- 📑"
    [ ] Label is bold: **Publisher:**
    [ ] Venue name is specified (conference, journal, or "arXiv.org")

  STEP 6 — Abstract Check:
    [ ] Line begins with "- 📝"
    [ ] Label is bold: **Abstract:**
    [ ] Followed by <details> opening tag
    [ ] Contains <summary>Expand</summary>
    [ ] Abstract text is present between summary and closing tags
    [ ] </details> closing tag is present
    [ ] Abstract is not truncated or empty

RESULT:
  All boxes checked -> Entry passes format review
  Any box unchecked -> Correct the issue before proceeding

Usage Examples

Example 1: Reviewing a correctly formatted entry

Entry under review:

🔹 [Scaling LLM Test-Time Compute](https://arxiv.org/abs/2408.03314)
- 🔗 **arXiv PDF Link:** [Paper Link](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2408.03314)
- 👤 **Authors:** Charlie Snell, Jaehoon Lee, Kelvin Xu, Aviral Kumar
- 🗓️ **Date:** 2024-08-06
- 📑 **Publisher:** arXiv.org
- 📝 **Abstract:**
    <details>
    <summary>Expand</summary>
    Enabling LLMs to improve their outputs by using more test-time computation...
    </details>

Review result: PASS
  [✓] Title with arXiv abs link
  [✓] PDF link with matching arXiv ID
  [✓] Authors listed
  [✓] Date in YYYY-MM-DD format
  [✓] Publisher specified
  [✓] Abstract in collapsible block

Example 2: Reviewing an entry with formatting errors

Entry under review:

🔹 Scaling LLM Test-Time Compute
- 🔗 arXiv PDF Link: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2408.03314
- 👤 Authors: Charlie Snell et al.
