imc-related-work
Use when writing or auditing the related-work and positioning of an ACM IMC paper, covering the measurement literature lanes, positioning against prior datasets and vantage points, delta-first framing, citing the datasets and tools you build on, distinguishing IMC from SIGCOMM/NSDI/PAM prior art, and keeping self-citations double-blind.

# IMC Related Work
Use this to position an IMC paper. In measurement, related work is not just prior *claims* — it is
prior **datasets, vantage points, tools, and methodologies**. IMC reviewers know the measurement
landscape intimately; a positioning that ignores the dataset or platform your finding builds on, or
that misattributes measurement work to the wrong venue, reads as unfamiliarity with the field.
## Cover the measurement literature lanes
Position against the relevant lanes, not a generic "prior work" pile:
- **The same phenomenon, measured before:** who measured this, from which vantage points, when, and
what did they find? Your delta is usually breadth, recency, a better vantage point, or a
correction.
