A comprehensive guide for authors to sharpen the marginal contribution of their Experimental Economics (ExpEcon) manuscripts. It moves beyond simple topic novelty by outlining a structured ladder of contribution (e.g., confound removal, new decisive treatment) and teaching authors how to precisely map their design against canonical behavioral paradigms and prior work. Essential for improving academic rigor and manuscript acceptance rates.

This guide helps researchers structure and articulate the unique contribution of their work, specifically tailored for high-impact journals like JEBO. It focuses on building the 'what we knew / what was missing / what this adds' framework, ensuring that the contribution is positioned at the mechanism level, whether the work is novel, a reconciliation, or a bounded replication.

This guide helps researchers proactively anticipate the critical objections raised by academic journal referees, especially in behavioral economics. It covers key areas such as demand effects, mechanism separation, external validity, and determining proper journal fit, allowing authors to significantly strengthen their drafts before formal submission.

This tool serves as a comprehensive workflow router for authors targeting the Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization (JEBO). It guides users through the entire academic writing process, from initial topic selection and literature positioning to experimental design, robustness checks, and rebuttal strategy, ensuring the manuscript meets the unique methodological requirements of behavioral economics.

This guide provides structured advice for authors submitting to journals like JEBO. It emphasizes shifting the narrative focus from methodology or procedure to the core behavioral mechanism. It covers structuring the abstract, ensuring the headline finding is presented early, calibrating jargon for a multi-disciplinary audience (e.g., psychologists, economists), and adhering to specific Elsevier formatting requirements.

A specialized tool for researchers aiming to publish in the Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization (JEBO). It helps authors assess the suitability of their behavioral, institutional, or organizational economics manuscript by analyzing the journal's scope, methodological bar, required evidence, and formatting standards. It serves as a pre-submission re-framing and checklist mechanism.
