This guide provides essential best practices for presenting spatial evidence in academic papers, particularly in economic geography. It emphasizes that maps and tables must make an explicit argument—show variation, spatial discontinuity, or gradients—rather than merely decorating the data. Learn how to properly report spatial model coefficients, handle projections, and avoid common cartographic and statistical pitfalls.

This tool provides a comprehensive pre-submission checklist designed for authors submitting survey papers (either a proposal or a full draft) to the Journal of Economic Literature (JEL) via the AEA portal. It ensures compliance by verifying JEL codes, disclosure statements, data availability, and adherence to style guides, helping authors finalize their submission package.

This guide outlines the rigorous standards for presenting tables and figures in manuscripts submitted to The Journal of Finance (JF). It emphasizes the need for self-contained, accessible exhibits, ensuring that readers from any subfield can interpret the results solely from the caption and notes. Key standards include using economic units (bps, % of market cap), proper numbering schemes (Roman/Arabic), and separating decisive findings from exhaustive details in the Internet Appendix.

This guide assists authors in preparing research materials for submission to the Journal of Financial Intermediation (JFI), adhering to Elsevier Option C. It provides detailed instructions on managing, depositing, citing, and linking research data, code, and algorithms—whether the data is public, proprietary, or restricted (e.g., central bank registers). The goal is to ensure methodological rigor and reproducibility through the Data Statement.

This comprehensive guide provides rigorous methodological guidelines for executing and reporting empirical analysis on cross-national, multi-level, or panel data, specifically tailored for top-tier international business journals. It covers essential checks like measurement invariance (configural to scalar), Common Method Variance (CMV), dynamic endogeneity, and appropriate estimation techniques (e.g., Multilevel SEM, GMM), ensuring research meets the highest academic standards.

This comprehensive guide details the strict replication and data deposit policies required by the Journal of International Economics (JIE). It ensures that all components—including raw data, cleaning scripts, structural solver code, and master scripts—are properly deposited in a secure repository (like Mendeley Data) before publication acceptance, guaranteeing full research reproducibility.

A comprehensive guide and package structure for preparing empirical law and economics manuscripts for journal submission, ensuring full data and code reproducibility prior to publication. It mandates the assembly of data files, transformation scripts, a master execution script, and detailed README documentation, explicitly addressing the unique challenges of restricted or proprietary legal data sources (e.g., sealed court records).

A guide for formalizing complex institutional arguments into rigorous, testable economic models, specifically tailored for submission to top journals like JLEO. It covers foundational lineages—such as transaction-cost economics, property rights, and principal-agent problems—teaching researchers how to right-size models, justify assumptions institutionally, and ensure comparative statics are the primary deliverable for empirical testing.

A comprehensive guide for conducting and reporting rigorous statistical analysis for academic marketing manuscripts, particularly tailored for the Journal of Marketing (JM) standards. It covers selecting appropriate estimators for various designs (e.g., panel, choice, field experiments), managing identification, testing robustness, and adhering to the mandatory reporting of p-values, standard errors, and managerial effect sizes. Also covers data replication and advanced econometric techniques.

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 detailing the quantitative and econometric standards required for submissions to top-tier monetary and macroeconomic journals. It covers advanced techniques like VAR/SVAR, Local Projections, and DSGE modeling, focusing on proper inference, robustness checks, and diagnostic reporting to ensure scholarly rigor.

This comprehensive guide assists researchers in structuring and refining empirical studies for submission to top management journals. It addresses critical methodological pitfalls, including common-method bias, endogeneity, and multilevel structures. Learn how to correctly match theoretical claims (e.g., causal effects, temporal processes) to appropriate designs (experiments, panel data, meta-analysis) to ensure rigorous scientific validity and statistical integrity.
