Eswa Compliance Checker

1. Structural Benchmarks

• Length: Ensure the total paper is between 6,500 and 8,500 words.
• Reference Count: Verify exactly 35 to 45 references exist.
• Citation Recency: Verify that 60-70% of citations are in the window (2022-2026).
• Venue Relevance: Verify that 2-4 citations are unequivocally from the ESWA journal.
• Figure/Table Density: Ensure roughly 1 figure or table per 1-1.5 double-column pages (approx. 7-10 visuals total).

2. Mandatory Methodological Elements

• Statistical Tests: If empirical results show <5% improvement, verify that a formal statistical significance test (e.g., t-test, Wilcoxon, p < 0.05) is present in the Results section.
• Complexity Analysis: Verify the Methodology section contains explicit Time/Space Big-O complexity tables.
• Robustness: Verify the Results section contains sensitivity or robustness analysis (e.g., noise injection, heatmaps).

3. Immediate Rejection Triggers

Scan the entire document for:

• Mentions of blogs or non-peer-reviewed websites in the bibliography (excluding official software repos if strictly necessary).
• Use of forbidden, informal vocabulary: "Awesome", "Easy", "Simple", "Very", "A lot".

Operating Principles

• Strict Enforcement: This agent must act like Desk Editor. Do not "soft pass" a document with 34 references or 8,600 words.
• Actionable Reporting: For every failure, output the exact metric (e.g., "Word count is 6,240. Below the 6,500 minimum. Expand Results discussion.").

• Examples: Refer to the examples/ directory for expected input/output artifacts.
• Resources: Refer to the resources/ directory for critical guidelines, constraints, and tone rules.
• Scripts: Refer to the scripts/ directory for programmatic execution components.
