This guide assists researchers in sharply defining and positioning their academic contributions within the highly specialized field of international finance. It provides frameworks for moving beyond simple extensions, instructing authors on how to identify a precise, novel margin against existing literature and competing scholarly programs to maximize publication credibility.

A guide for structuring academic manuscripts, teaching authors how to precisely situate their research contribution against established theoretical frontiers (e.g., TCE, PPE, Firm Theory). It moves beyond simply listing prior work to defining a clear conceptual delta relative to canonical anchors, which is crucial for top-tier scholarly journals.

A comprehensive guide for academic researchers pitching topics to the Journal of Law, Economics, and Organization (JLEO). This skill helps authors test whether their research contribution is genuinely rooted in institutional or organizational claims, rather than being a pure market outcome or a general micro-economics finding. It refines the focus, mechanism, and intended academic audience.

This guide provides a structured framework for developing robust conceptual arguments in marketing manuscripts. It teaches users how to ground theory in real-world phenomena, specify causal mechanisms, and derive measurable predictions. It addresses both theory-first and empirics-first research routes, helping authors build the minimum sufficient conceptual structure required for high-impact academic publishing.

This skill guides the structuring of theoretical and conceptual frameworks for academic manuscripts, particularly for journals focusing on family science. It helps researchers move beyond simply listing correlations by defining explicit concepts, identifying underlying family mechanisms (e.g., stress process, life course, ecological), and deriving testable hypotheses and scope conditions. It is crucial for transforming empirical findings into a robust, theory-driven contribution.

Provides comprehensive guidelines for structuring, formatting, and interpreting tables and figures (exhibits) for high-stakes academic manuscripts. It ensures that statistical results are self-contained, focusing on conveying economic magnitude and maintaining a clear logical flow, while strictly adhering to journal page budgets and specialized evidence types (e.g., econometrics, SEM).

This structured workflow guide is designed for researchers submitting to top-tier management science journals. It acts as a comprehensive router, guiding the manuscript through the rigorous academic process: from problem definition and model construction, through theoretical proofs, algorithm analysis, and numerical validation, ensuring methodological depth over mere empirical findings.

This guide details the rigorous, double-anonymous review process for top-tier academic journals, using the Journal of Communication (JoC) as a model. It outlines the two critical gates—editorial fit screening and external expert review—and provides actionable advice on anonymization, establishing general theoretical significance, and structuring the paper to maximize the chances of acceptance.

This guide provides a comprehensive second-pass capability check for academic manuscripts, designed to meet the rigorous standards of top-tier econometric journals like the Journal of Econometrics (JoE). It verifies abstract conciseness, structures the introduction contribution-first, improves the legibility of complex proofs, and ensures adherence to Elsevier/elsarticle formatting conventions.

This framework guides authors on articulating the marginal contribution of labor economics research for a general, broad academic audience, such as for a journal like JOLE. It teaches authors to move beyond technical methods and instead focus on defining the core labor lesson, new facts, or distinguishing mechanisms, thereby ensuring the research pitch is sharp and broadly relevant to the entire field.

This guide details how to position a manuscript against existing academic literature, specifically for journals like the Journal of Labor Economics (JOLE). It emphasizes moving beyond general literature reviews to making a precise 'stake'—clearly identifying the 2-3 closest papers, stating the gap they left open, and precisely articulating how your work adds novel identification, data, or mechanisms. It also details specific citation mechanics (Chicago author-date, chronological/alphabetical order).

A comprehensive guide for developing rigorous, mechanism-based theoretical arguments for operations management (OM) empirical studies. It teaches how to translate general theories (like RBV or TCE) into specific, testable operational mechanisms, specifying appropriate levels of analysis, mediators, and moderators required for top-tier academic publications.
