This guide outlines the standards for creating publication-quality tables and figures for economics journals, particularly adhering to the rigorous 'REStat' house style. It ensures that the main findings are legible in a single, self-contained exhibit, emphasizing standard errors, clear notes, and load-bearing visualizations.

This guide provides rigorous best practices for developing and presenting theoretical economic models for top-tier journals. It emphasizes framing results with a clear economic payoff, maintaining minimal model setups, and ensuring that complex, full proofs are relegated to the online appendix. The goal is to ensure the primary economic insight remains highly visible and actionable, rather than being buried in algebraic machinery.

Provides a comprehensive guide for authors submitting to the Review of Educational Research (RER). It helps authors anticipate reviewer and editor expectations, framing their work as a significant advance rather than a simple summary. The guide covers rigorous methodological standards, addressing predictable objections (e.g., search incompleteness, coding reliability) and ensuring the manuscript is appropriately positioned relative to other academic venues.

A comprehensive guide for authors submitting finance manuscripts. This skill helps assess whether a paper meets the high methodological and conceptual standards required by premier finance journals like Review of Financial Studies (RFS), Journal of Finance (JF), and Journal of Financial Economics (JFE). It covers required rigor in asset pricing, corporate finance, methodological innovation, and structural presentation.

This guide provides comprehensive rules for organizing the Internet Appendix (IA) for submissions to top academic journals, such as The Review of Financial Studies (RFS). It clarifies which material—such as full robustness checks, detailed proofs, or data construction methods—should reside in the main manuscript and which belongs in the supplementary IA. This ensures the core paper remains impactful, clean, and structurally rigorous.

This guide helps researchers determine if their applied microeconomics topic aligns with the deliberately narrow scope of a top Industrial Organization (IO) journal. It provides a structured framework to sharpen vague ideas into focused, mechanism-driven, and policy-relevant questions concerning antitrust, regulation, market structure, and firm strategy.

A comprehensive guide for packaging robotic research artifacts (code, policies, ledgers, hardware specs) for peer review and public release. It details the necessary steps to ensure maximum reproducibility, auditability, and permanence, covering both anonymous review-time evidence and citable public repositories.

This skill guides authors through the complex process of selecting the optimal academic journal venue for their research. It profiles the paper's characteristics (discipline, method, contribution) and shortlists potential targets from a large index. It scores candidates based on fit, acceptance odds, turnaround time, and audience, providing a tiered recommendation (Reach, Match, Safe) and a detailed resubmission ladder. Ideal for rejected drafts or papers needing a first target.

A comprehensive guide for authors to determine if their manuscript meets the stringent standards of Science Translational Medicine. This skill assesses the necessary dual mandate: demonstrating both a solid mechanistic insight and a credible, measurable clinical translation arc (drug, device, or biomarker). It covers scope fit, required human evidence standards, necessary preclinical validation, and specific structural requirements for submission.

This specialized tool analyzes Git diffs against a stated development intent to detect scope creep. It identifies overly broad pull requests, unrelated files, dependency additions, public API renames, or configuration changes. It guides users on whether changes should be kept, split into separate commits, or if the connection requires explicit justification, ensuring clean and focused code merges.

A comprehensive guide detailing the required structure and technical rigor for writing papers in sensing and embedded systems (SenSys). It mandates replacing vague adjectives with concrete, measured metrics (e.g., energy in joules, latency in milliseconds) and structuring the argument around a clear 'pain $\to$ gap $\to$ mechanism $\to$ measured behavior' arc on the first page. Essential for academic researchers and engineers.

A comprehensive guide on methodological rigor for submitting manuscripts to Social Forces. It covers designing causal inference (panel/DID/IV/RDD), demographic analysis, comparative-historical case selection, and network/computational methods. The focus is on strengthening the design by rigorously defending assumptions and ruling out alternative explanations, ensuring methodological soundness beyond mere association.
