webconf-reproducibility
Use when hardening the reproducibility of a Web Conference (WWW) paper whose evidence rests on crawls, platform APIs, live systems, or user logs — covering dataset decay, temporal snapshots, seed and environment reporting, the reproducibility appendix inside the 12-page PDF, and honest claims when the Web itself cannot be replayed.

# Web Conference Reproducibility
Reproducibility at this venue has a problem no offline-ML venue has: **the object
of study mutates**. Pages die, APIs close, ranking systems retrain, platform
policies change what may be collected at all. A Web Conference paper is
reproducible to the degree that it *pins what can be pinned and measures what
cannot*. The 2026 CFP's sanctioned home for this material is the optional appendix
— "details on reproducibility, proofs, pseudo-code" — inside the same 12-page PDF,
which reviewers are not obliged to read; so the reproducibility *claims* go in the
main 8 pages and the reproducibility *mechanics* go in the appendix.
## Three reproducibility regimes
| Regime | Example evidence | What "reproducible" means | Your obligation |
