This guide provides a comprehensive strategy for handling major revisions (R&R) for high-stakes academic journals like the Journal of Educational Psychology. It covers methodological rigor improvements, structuring the response letter, managing word counts, and maintaining academic transparency while addressing every reviewer comment.

Provides a comprehensive preflight checklist for submitting academic manuscripts to high-tier journals (e.g., JEP). This guide details essential requirements such as APA 7th edition formatting, word count limits, masked anonymity, and mandatory transparency reporting (data/code DOIs). It is crucial for ensuring submissions meet strict scholarly standards before final upload.

Provides comprehensive guidelines for crafting professional, academically rigorous tables and figures for top-tier economics journals (like JEEA). This guide covers best practices for presenting empirical results, instructing users on how to structure clean tables (three-line format), replace significance stars with standard errors/confidence intervals, and design effective event-study or model-fit visualizations to ensure the core claim is instantly readable.

A comprehensive playbook for authors responding to a major Revise and Resubmit (R&R) decision. It provides structured advice on addressing deep academic concerns—including growth mechanisms, empirical identification, calibration sensitivity, and theoretical assumptions—ensuring the response is rigorous, organized, and highly impactful for top-tier journals.

This tool guides researchers in evaluating whether their economic project topic is suitably specialized and ambitious for elite, growth-focused academic journals. It helps users frame their research question around core growth mechanisms, such as human capital accumulation, endogenous growth theory, or institutional dynamics, ensuring the work meets the standard of a "first-order growth question."

This guide provides advanced strategies for positioning a research contribution within the complex academic landscape of Economic Geography. It emphasizes that strong positioning must bridge multiple, distinct scholarly frontiers (e.g., quantitative-spatial economics and evolutionary geography) rather than focusing on a single literature, ensuring the work meets the rigorous standards of top-tier journals.

This comprehensive guide details how to build a robust, credible, and shareable replication package for a Journal of Economic Geography (JEG) manuscript. It focuses heavily on documenting spatial data provenance, handling version control for boundaries and projections, and scripting complex spatial joins to preempt reproducibility concerns, even though JEG's policy is post-acceptance.

A comprehensive preflight checklist for submitting manuscripts to the Journal of Economic Geography (JEG) via Oxford University Press (OUP). This guide ensures authors meet strict academic standards, including double-anonymous scrubbing, adherence to word/abstract limits, proper ORCID inclusion, and correct formatting for successful initial review.

This guide details the critical 'proposal-first' approach for submitting survey articles to the Journal of Economic Literature (JEL). It walks authors through crafting a compelling ~10-page sketch, covering the required structure, from defining the field and animating question to outlining the organizing framework and provisional conclusions. Learn how to maximize your chances of securing a commission from the journal editor.

Provides comprehensive guidelines for authors submitting to the Journal of Economic Theory (JET). It details mandatory data sharing (Elsevier Option C), ensuring computational reproducibility for numerical examples, and proper declaration of generative AI usage. This playbook helps authors structure their submissions to meet high academic standards of verifiable evidence and transparency.

This guide helps researchers determine if their economic project—whether theory-heavy, empirical, or computational—meets the rigorous theoretical standards required for high-impact journals like the Journal of Economic Theory (JET). It outlines critical criteria such as originality, theoretical grounding, and the necessity of leading with a core theorem.

This guide provides a comprehensive pre-flight checklist for submitting research to The Journal of Finance (JF) via the AFA online portal. It covers specific requirements such as the 60-page limit, bundling the Internet Appendix, handling tiered submission fees, and mandatory code sharing/disclosure statements, ensuring authors submit a complete and compliant manuscript.
