Skill UI

This skill helps authors evaluate whether their research—particularly in algorithms, optimization, or machine learning for Operations Research (OR)—meets the high computational standards required by the INFORMS Journal on Computing (IJOC). It acts as a fit/venue-selection tool, guiding authors on methodological rigor, computational evidence, and structuring their submission to maximize acceptance chances.

This guide helps researchers determine the primary focus of their work—whether it lies in Information Processing (algorithms, estimation) or Sensor Platforms, Tools, and Design Methods (hardware, deployment). It provides a structured methodology for selecting the most appropriate academic venue (e.g., SenSys, MobiSys, INFOCOM) based on the project's technical contribution and maturity.

This comprehensive guide details the rigorous methodological standards required for validating new statistical estimators, tests, or algorithms. It moves beyond simple causal inference, emphasizing foundational proofs of identification, regularity conditions, asymptotic consistency, and finite-sample robustness. It serves as a checklist for assuring the credibility and reliability of methods in academic statistical journals.

This guide assists authors in preparing research materials for submission to the Journal of Financial Intermediation (JFI), adhering to Elsevier Option C. It provides detailed instructions on managing, depositing, citing, and linking research data, code, and algorithms—whether the data is public, proprietary, or restricted (e.g., central bank registers). The goal is to ensure methodological rigor and reproducibility through the Data Statement.

This guide details the rigorous requirements for publishing in top-tier quantitative management journals. It specifically targets research outputs that utilize mathematical models, theoretical proofs, and computational algorithms (e.g., operations research, decision theory). It strongly advises against purely empirical surveys or case studies, emphasizing methodological contribution over policy implication.

A comprehensive guide for authors writing mathematical finance manuscripts. It specifies the rigorous standards for presenting figures, numerical tables, algorithms, and dependency maps, ensuring every visual exhibit supports a formal theorem or proposition. It advises on reporting numerical settings, avoiding empirical claims, and structuring evidence to aid theoretical comprehension rather than serving as standalone proof.

A comprehensive guide for researchers developing systems or algorithms, detailing the necessary level of evidence required for performance claims (e.g., bounds, real-world performance, learning guarantees). It emphasizes scientific rigor, statistical reporting (confidence intervals), assumption testing, and data provenance to ensure findings are robust and reproducible in academic settings.

NetworkX is a powerful Python package designed for creating, manipulating, and analyzing complex networks and graphs. It supports various graph types (Directed, Undirected, MultiGraphs) and provides extensive functionality for graph algorithms, including shortest path calculation, centrality measures (like PageRank), community detection, and connectivity checks. Users can generate synthetic networks, read/write data from multiple formats (GraphML, CSV, Pandas), and visualize results using Matplotlib. Ideal for social network analysis, biological research, and system modeling.
