Abstract
This document sets out the conventions used for data simulations, waveforms, and analysis pipelines within the Distributed Data Processing Centre (DDPC) of the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA). It can also be considered a best practice guide for all publications related to the LISA mission. Topics covered include time-to-frequency transformations, gravitational-wave source parametrization, the instrumental response to gravitational waves, time-delay interferometry, and reference frame definitions.
