This guide teaches advanced academic researchers how to elevate mere research findings into robust, generalizable theoretical contributions suitable for top-tier journals. It structures the process of building an argument—whether the work is empirical, formal/game-theoretic, or interpretive—by explicitly defining mechanisms, scope conditions, and observable implications. The focus is on the 'portability' of the argument across different countries and subfields.

This skill guides the architectural structure and rhetorical flow of a Critical Inquiry (CI) essay. Instead of following traditional IMRaD formats, it focuses on shaping the narrative arc: how to hook a non-specialist reader, build intellectual pressure, make a clear intervention (the turn), and conclude with expansive new questions. Ideal for long-form humanistic prose that needs to guide a cross-field audience through complex arguments.

This framework guides researchers on transforming raw empirical crime findings into robust, field-level theoretical contributions for academic journals. It mandates the explicit definition of the causal mechanism, scope conditions, and observable implications, ensuring the work moves beyond simple correlation to make a significant theoretical argument.

This guide helps transform rich but purely descriptive fieldwork, archaeological data, or linguistic observations into bold, transferable, and debatable theoretical arguments. It teaches how to explicitly define concepts, establish interpretive mechanisms, set scope conditions, and incorporate positionality, ensuring the work is robust enough to withstand academic critique.

This tool serves as the central orchestrator for developing and submitting manuscripts to Current Anthropology (CA). It guides authors through the entire academic lifecycle, helping them determine the correct article type (Major Article, Report, Forum, etc.), appropriate subfield, and the necessary current stage (e.g., theory building, data analysis, ethics review). It ensures submissions are robust enough to withstand the rigorous CA✩ commentary and reply process.

A comprehensive guide for academic authors on situating their manuscripts within the comparative governance, public policy, and public administration literatures. It teaches the methodology of building a strong, portable, and theoretically comparative argument, ensuring the research contribution is relevant to the international scholarly community and meets high academic standards.

This skill guides the rigorous process of building and auditing dense legal footnote apparatus, specifically for Harvard Law Review (HLR) standards. It ensures every proposition is supported by the cited source at the exact page, verifies quote accuracy, and prepares a verifiable source file, making the submission 'pull-ready' for demanding academic review.

This guide provides a comprehensive framework for authors to position their work against existing literature, concurrent submissions, and public scrutiny in top-tier AI conferences. It teaches how to separate similar components from identical scientific problems, build verifiable novelty claims, and respond robustly to reviewer challenges.

This skill provides a comprehensive guide for structuring advanced humanities essays, particularly for major academic journals. It emphasizes building a clear, thesis-driven argument that unfolds naturally, avoiding rigid IMRaD formats. Use it when outlining, restructuring confusing drafts, or needing to ensure the argument's significance remains visible throughout the body.

This skill guides authors in transforming raw experimental data into a compelling, logically structured scientific narrative suitable for top-tier journals like JACS. It teaches how to explicitly define the 'chemical advance' by building an evidence-backed claim chain: Problem $ ightarrow$ Advance $ ightarrow$ Evidence $ ightarrow$ Significance. It ensures that every claim of novelty is rigorously supported by data and compares the work explicitly against the closest prior art.

This guide outlines the rigorous method for developing econometrically testable hypotheses for accounting research, particularly for high-tier journals. Instead of relying on vague constructs, it teaches how to ground predictions in core economic theories like information economics, agency theory, and contracting frictions. It helps researchers build a clear mechanism by specifying the agent's optimization problem, identifying the core friction, and deriving conditional, testable predictions.

A guide on how to effectively position academic manuscripts, particularly for highly interdisciplinary journals like JCR. This technique emphasizes moving beyond 'gap-spotting' (stating what hasn't been studied) and instead focusing on 'problematization'—questioning fundamental assumptions within the existing body of consumer research literature. It teaches how to build a clear, multi-disciplinary conversation and defend the work's unique contribution against neighboring venues.
