This skill provides a comprehensive guide for authors targeting top-tier Chinese academic journals, such as the Chinese Review of Financial Studies. It analyzes the journal's specific academic scope (finance theory, capital markets, etc.), required manuscript structure, submission formatting (abstract length, JEL codes, reference rules), and common pitfalls. Use it pre-submission to ensure your paper meets the high academic standards required for CSSCI-level publication.

A comprehensive guide for advanced econometric identification strategies, detailing best practices for conducting Difference-in-Differences (DID), event studies, and staggered treatment analysis. It provides stringent requirements for ensuring causal claims are robust and methodologically sound in academic research.

This guide helps academics determine if their manuscript aligns with the scope of China Industrial Economics, or if it should be redirected to more specialized journals (e.g., Economic Research, Management World). It provides criteria based on empirical rigor, policy quasi-experiments, and specific research focus (industry, enterprise, environment).

This guide outlines rigorous standards for conducting heterogeneity analysis in economic research. It stresses that heterogeneity should not merely involve slicing data by region or size, but must be theoretically driven, linking multiple dimensions (e.g., ownership, financing constraints, industry type) to core economic mechanisms. The analysis must demonstrate significant group differences and clearly connect findings to differential policy implications, elevating the discussion from mere observation to actionable policy science.

This guide provides rigorous methodology for authors to structure the policy and institutional background section of empirical economic manuscripts. Highlighting the journal's reliance on verifiable details (exact file names, dates, implementation rules), it teaches how to connect policy context directly to quasi-experimental identification strategies (like DID and event-study), ensuring the validity of causal claims and preventing common desk-reject issues.

This guide provides rigorous methodological standards for conducting mechanism analysis (mediation and moderation) in academic economics research. It strongly cautions against the traditional three-step mediation approach due to identification issues, recommending preferred alternatives like split-channel regression and causal moderation analysis to enhance the robustness of causal claims.

A comprehensive guide for authors submitting to high-level academic journals, specifically detailing how to construct a point-by-point rebuttal letter after receiving R&R (Revision & Resubmission) feedback. Covers advanced econometric topics, identifying common reviewer critiques (e.g., parallel trends, robustness checks, endogeneity), and structuring professional, evidence-based revisions.

A comprehensive methodological guide for conducting exhaustive robustness checks in academic economics manuscripts, particularly for journals requiring high empirical rigor. It provides an exhaustive checklist covering variable replacement, sample window manipulation, advanced identification strategies (like PSM-DID and placebo tests), and crucially, systematically ruling out alternative explanations and confounding factors. Mastering this process is essential for defending research findings against rigorous peer review.

This comprehensive router guides authors through the entire academic submission process for top-tier journals. It maps out the necessary steps—from initial topic selection and literature review to advanced econometric techniques (DID, mechanism, robustness) and handling reviewer rebuttal—ensuring the manuscript meets the rigorous standards of empirical research.

A comprehensive guide detailing the methodology for packaging, documenting, and staging research artifacts (including code, datasets, knowledge graphs, and demo systems) for CIKM conference submission. It covers best practices for licensing, provenance tracking, versioning, and transitioning artifacts from anonymous review status to citable public releases, ensuring reproducibility and adoptability.

A comprehensive guide for designing rigorous and robust empirical programs in Information Retrieval, Data Mining, and Knowledge Management. It outlines how to meet the stringent evidence requirements for top-tier conferences, ensuring claims are substantiated across multiple evaluation dimensions (retrieval, mechanism, scalability) and incorporating best practices for reproducibility and handling modern challenges like LLM contamination.

This guide details the complex requirements for writing the 'Related Work' section for CIKM submissions. It emphasizes the need for 'three-front coverage' (Retrieval, Mining, and Knowledge Management/Databases) and provides specific instructions on writing the 'boundary-work paragraph.' It also covers critical academic hygiene, such as avoiding venue misattribution, maintaining recency baselines, and accurately stating novel contributions.
