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.

A comprehensive skill for researchers targeting top international economics journals, such as the Journal of International Economics. It provides detailed guidelines on content fit, structuring arguments, required quantitative modeling rigor (e.g., credible identification, counterfactuals), and adherence to current academic house styles for international trade, open-economy macro, and finance research. Use this for venue selection and pre-submission self-checking.

This skill is a specialized academic tool designed for authors targeting international finance and open-economy journals. It guides manuscript authors through journal positioning, scope alignment, required econometric methodology (e.g., addressing endogeneity and non-stationarity), and specific house style mandates. It helps authors determine if their research is a strong fit for the Journal of International Money and Finance (JIMF) and provides actionable advice on potential re-routed venues or submission improvements.

This comprehensive skill guides authors on submitting academic manuscripts to the Journal of Jiangxi University of Finance and Economics. It helps users determine if their work's scope, methodology, and narrative structure align with the journal's requirements. It covers everything from field preferences and formatting rules (e.g., double-blind review) to common rejection pitfalls, minimizing the risk of inappropriate submission.

This skill is a comprehensive fit and re-framing tool for submissions targeting elite economics journals like the Journal of Political Economy (JPE), AER, or QJE. It guides authors on elevating their work beyond mere statistical significance by establishing a strong, core economic mechanism, rigorous theoretical framework, and interpretable empirical contribution. Use this before submission to assess the manuscript's structural readiness and overall scholarly fit for top-tier publication.

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.

A comprehensive skill designed for academics submitting papers in urban, regional, or spatial economics. It guides authors through evaluating their manuscript's suitability for the Journal of Urban Economics (JUE). The tool emphasizes the necessity of a credible spatial mechanism, robust identification methods (e.g., DiD, RDD), and adherence to high-level empirical and structural modeling standards required by top-tier journals.

A comprehensive guide to defending causal claims in policy and program evaluation, adhering to rigorous econometric standards (e.g., JPAM). It covers advanced methods such as RCT, Difference-in-Differences (DiD), Regression Discontinuity (RDD), Instrumental Variables (IV), and Synthetic Control. This guide emphasizes stating the estimand, defending identification assumptions, and robustly ruling out alternative causal explanations, rather than just writing estimation code.

A comprehensive guide for generating high-quality, self-contained exhibits for policy journals. It emphasizes communicating the main policy effect, its uncertainty, design validity, and cost-benefit implications to a mixed audience of economists and policy practitioners, ensuring maximum decision-legibility.

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.

This guide provides a rigorous framework for evaluating whether a research question is suitable for high-impact policy journals (like JPAM). It trains users to structure ideas by confirming three critical elements: establishing a specific, policy-relevant intervention (the policy), identifying the decision-maker and the counterfactual choice (the decision), and confirming a credible, causal design (exogenous variation). It ensures the research has both empirical rigor and real-world policy stake.

This guide helps polish academic manuscripts for high-impact policy journals (like JPAM). It focuses on achieving a clear, calibrated, and decision-oriented voice. Learn how to state policy implications without overclaiming, ensuring the findings are legible to a cross-disciplinary audience of economists, public policy scholars, and practitioners. It emphasizes matching claims to the actual statistical design and stating necessary scope conditions.
