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.

This guide outlines the rigorous standards for preparing empirical tables and figures for top-tier academic journals, such as the Journal of Accounting and Economics (JAE). It covers the entire research workflow, including variable definition, sample construction, descriptive statistics, correlation matrices, advanced regressions, and event studies. The goal is to ensure all exhibits are self-contained, reproducible, and meet strict academic reviewer expectations.

A comprehensive guide for finalizing the core evidence—tables and figures—for high-stakes empirical accounting or economics papers (e.g., Journal of Accounting Research). It outlines the mandatory 'exhibit set,' covering sample construction, descriptive statistics, correlation matrices, main regression results, and crucial identification plots (DiD, RD). Focuses on adhering to rigorous house styles and ensuring all claims are data-supported.

This comprehensive guide provides a structured framework for building and auditing empirical data and estimation pipelines in finance and banking research. It covers data construction from various sources (e.g., CRSP, Call Reports), advanced econometric techniques like fixed effects and winsorization, conducting stress tests (e.g., crisis periods, large banks), and ensuring full reproducibility. It emphasizes reporting results with meaningful economic magnitudes.

A comprehensive guide for authors submitting to the Journal of Corporate Finance (JCF). It details how to comply with Elsevier's Option C data availability requirements, focusing on drafting the data availability statement and structuring the research archive. It provides best practices for handling licensed, proprietary data (e.g., Compustat, CRSP) by recommending the sharing of construction code and access instructions, rather than raw data deposits.

A comprehensive methodological guide for conducting rigorous quantitative research in finance, covering asset pricing, corporate finance, and econometrics. This skill defines the necessary standards for factor construction, portfolio sorting, advanced estimators (Fama-MacBeth, GMM), robust standard error clustering, and multiple-testing discipline. It ensures research designs are academically sound, reproducible, and suitable for top-tier financial journals.

A comprehensive guide for planning and stress-testing empirical analysis in financial intermediation, specifically for high-impact journals. It covers the construction of bank/loan-level panel datasets, defining variables (growth vs. levels), implementing advanced econometric specifications (e.g., fixed effects), and executing substantial robustness checks (placebo periods, alternative clustering). It also guides the planning of reproducible numerical illustrations for theoretical models.

This guide provides rigorous conventions for constructing self-contained tables and figures for submissions to high-tier finance journals (e.g., JFI). It focuses on structuring exhibits—such as sample construction, event studies, and fixed-effect regressions—to make complex econometric findings accessible and persuasive to banking and intermediation specialists. It guides the visual narrative, ensuring every exhibit is self-sufficient and methodologically transparent.

This comprehensive guide assists in executing and documenting rigorous empirical finance research, tailored for top-tier journals like JFQA. It covers the entire pipeline, including complex financial data construction (CRSP, Compustat), advanced data cleaning (winsorizing, outlier handling), and sophisticated econometrics (fixed effects, clustered standard errors, Fama-MacBeth). The core focus is achieving absolute reproducibility, ensuring that all filters, robustness checks, and analytical steps are meticulously documented for archival and peer review.

This guide provides detailed instructions on structuring the online appendix for high-impact academic manuscripts. It emphasizes the critical balance between maintaining a self-contained, readable main text and providing comprehensive, verifiable supporting material. Learn how to properly place derivations, robustness checks, and data construction details to enhance the scientific rigor and credibility of your research.

A comprehensive guide for conducting reproducible empirical analysis in labor economics, adhering to high academic standards (e.g., JOLE norms). It covers essential steps including sample construction from CPS/ACS/registers, advanced wage decompositions (Oaxaca/RIF), proper handling of standard errors, and robust sensitivity checks to ensure results are fully replicable.

A comprehensive guide for researchers focusing on quantitative economic measurement, including TFP, efficiency analysis (DEA/SFA), and index construction. It emphasizes the necessity of methodological transparency, data traceability, reproducible calculations, and rigorous sensitivity testing to ensure the scientific validity of quantitative findings.
