Skill UI

This skill guides the systematic process of conducting comprehensive literature reviews across multiple academic databases (e.g., PubMed, arXiv, Semantic Scholar). It supports meta-analyses, scoping reviews, and state-of-the-art investigations. The rigorous workflow includes structured searching, data extraction, citation verification, thematic synthesis, and generating publication-quality reports (PDF/Markdown) complete with mandatory scientific schematics (like PRISMA flow diagrams) to ensure academic rigor and reproducibility.

This tool guides researchers in scoping and rigorously testing a research topic for submission to top-tier finance journals, such as the Journal of Financial Economics (JFE). It helps users refine an economic question, establish a novel contribution, identify plausible causal links, and assess the paper's depth against high academic standards (e.g., Jensen or Fama-DFA prizes). It is crucial for transforming a general academic idea into a publishable, high-impact manuscript.
