This tool guides researchers in selecting and rigorously stress-testing appropriate methodologies (quantitative, qualitative, or normative) for public administration manuscripts. It ensures methodological alignment with the core research question, providing detailed checks for causal inference techniques (DID, IV, RDD) and qualitative rigor, thereby strengthening the overall academic argument.

This comprehensive guide provides a rigorous framework for identifying and testing the causal mechanisms underlying public administration outcomes. It moves beyond merely stating an effect, guiding researchers to detail the specific processes—such as policy execution, attention allocation, or central-local relations—that cause the observed outcome. It covers both quantitative mediation analysis (e.g., causal inference frameworks) and qualitative process evidence gathering, ensuring theoretical grounding and causal rigor in academic manuscripts.

A comprehensive guide for standardizing the presentation of findings in academic manuscripts, particularly for social science and public administration journals. It covers strict formatting rules for quantitative regression tables (three-line style, max 6 columns), variable definition sheets, qualitative data coding tables, and process/mechanism diagrams, ensuring methodological rigor and compliance with high publication standards.

This skill provides a comprehensive framework for authors aiming to submit to the prestigious journal 'E-Government.' It guides users on assessing manuscript fit, aligning research with the journal's focus on digital governance, data element, public value, and administrative reform. It covers scope definition, required methodology, structural adjustments, and mandatory formatting checks.

Guides authors on meeting the rigorous transparency standards required by the European Sociological Review (ESR). It details how to prepare a Data Availability Statement (DAS) and a replication package for statistical and computational manuscripts. The guide covers everything from documenting data sources and versions to handling restricted administrative data, ensuring that the research process is fully reproducible and traceable.

A comprehensive guide for authors preparing manuscripts for Global Change Biology (GCB). It details the requirements for scientific exhibits, mandating a mechanism-first approach that clearly links environmental drivers to biological responses. Covers graphical abstract construction, ensuring visible uncertainty, and maximizing data accessibility for publication.

A comprehensive guide for revising technical manuscripts intended for premier data mining conferences like ICDM. It teaches authors to shift focus from model-centric claims to data-regime-first narratives, emphasizing measurable evidence, mechanistic detail, and adhering to strict academic constraints (e.g., triple-blind format, page limits).

A comprehensive guide for authors targeting the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology (JASN). It assesses the suitability of clinical, translational, or basic science studies across kidney disease, dialysis, and transplantation. Provides detailed expectations regarding mechanistic significance, evidence bar, reporting guidelines (CONSORT, STROBE, PRISMA), and manuscript structure.

This guide provides criteria for submitting research to the Journal of Tianjin University of Sport. The journal highly values mechanism-driven studies in exercise physiology, biochemistry, biomechanics, and sports medicine. Submissions must demonstrate rigorous experimental design, detailed measurements, statistical validity, and clear mechanistic interpretation, moving beyond simple descriptive reports.

A comprehensive guide for authors submitting policy evaluation manuscripts to academic journals. It outlines the rigorous standards required to ensure full research reproducibility, detailing the process of archiving data and code in public repositories, creating master scripts, and providing documentation for restricted administrative data access.

A comprehensive guide for conducting and reporting data analysis for submissions to the Journal of Public Administration Research and Theory (JPART). It covers advanced statistical methods, addressing common-method bias, ensuring robustness, and meeting mandatory data and code release standards to withstand expert scholarly review.

A comprehensive guide to strengthening research designs for public administration manuscripts, particularly for rigorous journals that emphasize experimental and causal identification. It covers experimental designs, causal observational methods (DID, IV, RDD), multilevel modeling, and mixed methods, providing frameworks to defend against common methodological biases and rival explanations.
