A specialized tool for advanced researchers and econometricians. It helps authors assess if their manuscript—whether presenting a new estimator, theoretical result, or advanced applied method—meets the rigorous methodological standards of the Journal of Econometrics. It guides authors on structuring proofs, demonstrating asymptotic theory, positioning the work against existing literature, and avoiding common desk-reject pitfalls.

This comprehensive resource guides authors targeting the Journal of Economic Growth. It covers the journal's positioning, required scope in long-run growth theory, cross-country empirics, institutional determinants, and rigorous methodological standards. Use it to re-frame your manuscript for maximum fit and avoid common desk-reject pitfalls before official submission.

A comprehensive guide for academic finance researchers to assess if their quantitative manuscript is suitable for submission to the Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis (JFQA). It covers the journal's elite positioning, necessary methodological rigor (e.g., causal identification, standard errors), required structure, and common desk-reject pitfalls, helping authors refine their work for top-tier quantitative finance venues.

This comprehensive guide is designed for authors submitting full-length manuscripts to Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres (JGR-Atmospheres). It helps assess the fit, required depth, and methodological rigor of atmospheric science studies. The skill covers essential topics like aerosol interaction, cloud physics, atmospheric dynamics, data requirements (FAIR), and the specific structural expectations (e.g., Plain Language Summary) needed to meet the journal's high standard for quantitative, definitive scientific advances.

A specialized tool for applied microeconomists to assess the suitability of their empirical work—covering labor, education, health, and welfare—for the Journal of Human Resources (JHR). It evaluates the paper's fit, methodological rigor, identification strategy, and policy relevance, providing actionable advice on framing and alternative submissions.

This skill provides a comprehensive checklist and guide for authors targeting the Journal of Hydrology. It helps authors assess the fit of their manuscript, covering scope alignment (surface/subsurface hydrology), required scientific advance, methodological rigor (validation, uncertainty), and adherence to Elsevier house style. Use it for pre-submission venue selection and quality assurance.

This comprehensive guide helps researchers determine if their manuscript is suitable for the Journal of International Business Studies (JIBS). It outlines JIBS's core requirements, emphasizing that the international or cross-border dimension must be theoretically central, not merely incidental. The guide covers scope, methodology, structuring, and provides a detailed pre-submission checklist to ensure maximum theoretical impact and methodological rigor for top-tier academic publication.

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.

This skill provides a comprehensive guide for authors targeting the Journal of Marketing Research (JMR). It analyzes the journal's demanding standards for methodological rigor, covering quantitative modeling, behavioral experiments, and design validity. Use this tool to assess if your manuscript's contribution, structure, and evidence base meet JMR's high academic bar, or to suggest more appropriate alternative venues.

This skill provides detailed guidance on assessing a research paper's alignment with the scope of quantitative economics and technical economics journals. It helps determine if the core contribution lies in advanced quantitative methods, econometrics, efficiency measurements (TFP, DEA), or input-output analysis, guiding authors toward the most suitable academic publication venue.

This comprehensive skill guides authors on assessing the suitability and framing of manuscripts targeting the Journal of Risk and Uncertainty (JRU). It covers rigorous criteria including decision-theoretic grounding, methodological rigor, risk valuation techniques, and required structure, ensuring submissions meet the journal's high standards for advancing choice models under risk.

This guide helps structure the conceptual framework (Theory of Change or Logic Model) for policy research. It moves beyond simple correlation by explicitly mapping the causal chain: identifying the policy lever, the underlying mechanism, and the predicted outcome. It is crucial for establishing external validity and defining scope conditions so that empirical findings can be generalized and actionable by policymakers in different settings.
