Skill UI

This workflow router guides authors through the complex lifecycle of submitting a paper to the Journal of Financial Intermediation (JFI). It coordinates the entire academic writing process, determining the optimal sequence of skills based on whether the contribution is theory-led or empirics-led. It is designed to help authors structure their research, focusing on methodological rigor (e.g., Gate B checks) before drafting the final prose.

This guide helps academics determine if their research contribution is fundamentally about market microstructure—such as order flow, liquidity, price impact, or trading mechanisms—making it suitable for the Journal of Financial Markets (JFM). It provides a rigorous 'mechanism question' test to distinguish between microstructural findings and broader corporate or asset pricing issues.

A comprehensive guide to framing the contribution of a quantitative finance paper for highly selective journals like JFQA. It emphasizes extreme conciseness (e.g., 100-word abstract constraint) and the mandatory inclusion of explicit, measurable economic magnitudes (e.g., basis points, alpha changes) to ensure the research meets top-tier academic standards.

This guide helps researchers evaluate the core mechanism of their academic paper, determining whether the focus is fundamentally on financial mechanisms. It provides criteria for positioning the work along the macro-finance or micro-corporate finance line, and offers advice on suggesting alternative journals if the topic drifts into general industrial, accounting, or management fields.

This comprehensive framework guides financial researchers in structuring high-quality literature reviews for academic manuscripts. It moves beyond mere citation listing by enforcing a three-part narrative structure: tracing the global theoretical and mechanistic origins, contextualizing the discussion within local Chinese institutional settings, and precisely defining the novel contribution (the research gap). Mastering this process ensures a deep, scholarly dialogue between international theory and local empirical evidence.

This comprehensive guide helps academics transform raw financial data observations into rigorous and high-impact research questions suitable for top-tier finance journals. It teaches a structured methodology involving anchoring the core financial mechanism, integrating specific institutional contexts within China, and defining a clear incremental academic contribution.

This guide helps researchers determine if their academic paper meets the scope and originality gate of top-tier international economics journals (e.g., JIE). It provides a structured fit check across international trade, open-economy macroeconomics, international finance, and commercial policy, ensuring both a central international dimension and novel motivation or modeling structure.

This guide helps scholars precisely define the novel contribution of their research manuscript in the specialized field of Law and Economics (L&E). It teaches authors how to position their work's marginal addition against foundational L&E literature (like Coase or Becker), moving beyond mere topic novelty to focus on new answers, legal variations, or mechanisms. Essential for navigating high-tier academic publishing.

A comprehensive strategy guide designed for researchers submitting papers in institutional or organizational economics. It teaches how to anticipate specialized referee objections—such as selection bias, endogeneity, or scope—before submission, ensuring the manuscript is robustly positioned for top-tier journals.

This tool acts as a comprehensive workflow router for researchers targeting The Journal of Law, Economics, and Organization (JLEO). It guides users through the entire academic process, from initial topic selection and literature positioning to developing models, ensuring robustness, and handling revision and rebuttal stages. It helps diagnose current bottlenecks and determines the optimal next specialized skill to use.

A comprehensive guide for economists and researchers on determining if their work concerning monetary policy, banking, credit, or macro-finance is a suitable fit for the Journal of Money, Credit and Banking (JMCB). It teaches how to structure arguments, identify clear policy stakes, and differentiate the unique scope of JMCB from similar academic outlets.

A comprehensive guide for structuring the discussion section of academic manuscripts, particularly for top-tier journals. It teaches researchers how to move beyond merely reporting findings to explicitly defining the theoretical advance—such as revealing a new mechanism, establishing a boundary condition, or integrating rival theories—thereby ensuring the paper contributes meaningfully to the academic field.
