Skill UI

This skill guides researchers in refining their manuscript's core contribution for top academic journals like JCP. It teaches how to shift the narrative focus from simply reporting an 'effect' (X increases Y) to articulating the underlying psychological 'PROCESS' or 'mechanism' (X increases Y *because* it changes M). It ensures claims are theoretically surprising, scope-bound, and relevant to consumer behavior.

This guide assists researchers in elevating a simple observed 'effect' into a theoretically robust and conceptually advanced research contribution suitable for the Journal of Consumer Research (JCR). It provides frameworks for assessing interdisciplinary relevance, distinguishing between behavioral and interpretive genres, and ensuring the question genuinely advances existing consumer theory.

This comprehensive checklist guides authors through the critical 'camera-ready' phase for academic publishing, specifically for JCRD. It ensures that all metadata, including author identities, institutional details, funding grants, and permanent links, are restored and verified. The guide covers adherence to formatting standards (e.g., GB/T 7714), precise revision limits during proofreading, and systematic de-anonymization to prevent publication errors.

A comprehensive pre-submission checklist for the Journal of Environmental Economics and Management (JEEM). This guide assists authors in ensuring scope compliance, style adherence, data availability, and fee readiness to minimize the risk of desk rejection before formal peer review.

A comprehensive guide for authors preparing manuscripts for top-tier academic journals, especially in finance (e.g., The Journal of Finance). It details how to anticipate potential objections from handling editors and expert referees, covering areas like identification credibility, robustness checks, and general interest framing. This tool helps optimize the paper's structure pre-submission to maximize acceptance chances.

Runs the final pre-submission preflight for the Journal of Human Resources (JHR) via msubmit.net, covering page limits, fees, disclosure statements, data-archive footnotes, and scope fit.

A guide for structuring and articulating the theoretical contribution of International Business (IB) research, particularly for high-impact journals. It helps researchers move beyond merely descriptive findings by establishing non-incremental, cross-border insights, defining theoretical moves (e.g., qualifying or overturning established theory), and integrating societal or policy implications into the core argument.

This guide teaches scholars how to strategically position their research paper within the ongoing international business (IB) academic conversation. Instead of merely identifying a research gap, it instructs users to problematize core assumptions, join established academic debates, and structure their arguments to demonstrate clear intellectual intervention. Essential for refining paper introductions before submission to top-tier journals.

A comprehensive checklist for authors submitting manuscripts to the Journal of International Marketing (JIM). This guide details the mandatory requirements for the multi-file submission package, covering proper anonymization (double-blind review), adherence to specific formatting rules (e.g., double-spacing, page limits), and the step-by-step process for using the ScholarOne submission portal.

This methodology provides a rigorous guide for developing cross-national theoretical frameworks for international marketing research. It teaches researchers how to move beyond merely reporting observed differences across countries. Instead, users must pre-theorize the underlying mechanisms (e.g., cultural values, institutional voids, economic maturity) that predict cross-national variation, ensuring hypotheses are architecturally sound and testable for high-impact academic journals.

A comprehensive guide for structuring marketing research designs, particularly for journals like the Journal of Marketing (JM). It teaches researchers how to select the most appropriate method (e.g., field experiment, survey, panel data, qualitative study) that directly addresses a substantive, managerially relevant claim. The focus is on achieving both internal validity (establishing causality) and external validity (realism in the market), ensuring the method serves the core business insight rather than being an end in itself.

Provides a comprehensive pre-submission checklist for manuscripts targeting the Journal of Marketing (JM). It verifies adherence to strict, evolving academic guidelines, covering double-anonymization, specific formatting (e.g., 50-page limit, Times New Roman), exact statistic reporting, and mandatory inclusion of a Data Availability Statement. Essential for authors preparing for submission via ScholarOne.
