Skill UI

A comprehensive coach designed to guide students and researchers through the entire scholarly writing lifecycle. This skill covers structuring complex academic works—including research papers (IMRaD), theses, dissertations, grant proposals, and conference abstracts. It teaches fundamental writing principles, proper source integration, avoiding plagiarism, and navigating diverse citation styles (APA, MLA, Chicago, GB/T 7714), helping users develop an independent, professional academic voice.

This tool assists researchers in structuring complex academic papers by systematically mapping specific claims within designated sections (Introduction, Method, Results, Discussion) to available BibTeX citation keys. By planning citations beforehand, users can ensure proper citation density, maintain structural integrity, and guarantee that every critical claim is adequately supported according to the paper's required style and focus.

This tool generates a comprehensive, structured, five-section academic paper outline (Abstract, Introduction, Method, Results, Discussion) based on a provided research topic, preference brief, and source references. It ensures the outline contains sufficient substance and integrates multiple citation keys, serving as a robust foundation for a full-length research paper.

This skill guides users through the process of assessing if their academic manuscript aligns with the scope and standards of *Accounting and Economics Research*. It covers journal positioning, required structure (abstract, citations), methodological rigor, and common pitfalls, helping researchers optimize their writing for specific academic venues.

This comprehensive guide serves as a critical pre-submission checklist for academic papers targeting high-tier journals, such as *Accounting Research*. It meticulously details complex formatting conventions, including footnote practices, author-date citation styles, abstract length limits, and required article length. The guide also emphasizes critical steps like ensuring double-blind anonymity and adhering strictly to the journal's online submission system, helping authors avoid common rejection reasons related to format and identity leakage.

A comprehensive guide for formatting academic manuscripts for the American Historical Review (AHR). This skill mandates adherence to the Chicago Manual of Style (CMOS) guidelines where all citations must be placed exclusively in footnotes or endnotes. It strictly prohibits the use of bibliography pages or in-text parenthetical citations, providing detailed rules for citing books, journals, digitized, and especially sensitive archival/manuscript sources.

This guide provides comprehensive instructions for authors submitting to the American Journal of Sociology (AJS). It details AJS's unique house style (which is NOT the ASA style guide), covering citation mechanics, note formatting, reference lists, and manuscript structure. Crucially, it advises writers on how to structure their arguments to be theoretically ambitious and legible to a generalist audience, ensuring the core contribution is immediately apparent.

This guide provides advanced strategies for authors to position their research contribution within the broader academic debate, particularly for highly competitive, generalist journals like APSR. It teaches authors how to move beyond subfield-specific citations by identifying the core contested debate, engaging cross-subfield literature, and framing the paper's move to ensure its relevance to a general political science audience.

This skill guides the systematic gathering and structuring of literature for comprehensive academic reviews, such as an Annual Review of Psychology (ARPsych). It ensures broad coverage by executing traceable searches (database sweeps, citation chasing) and building a detailed evidence matrix (one row per finding). This establishes a robust, documented base of evidence, allowing the user to focus their analytical contribution later without sacrificing completeness.

A comprehensive guide for academic authors on writing balanced, unbiased, and rigorous literature reviews. It teaches how to manage the fundamental tension between comprehensive coverage (ensuring nothing important is missed) and selective emphasis (foregrounding the most critical arguments). The framework ensures fairness across diverse theoretical schools, methodologies (quantitative, qualitative, etc.), and competing findings, while explicitly guarding against self-citation bias.

This comprehensive guide serves as the final pre-submission checklist for authors submitting to The Art Bulletin. It details critical requirements for maintaining double-blind anonymity, proper file structure, and adherence to specific academic constraints, including word counts, citation styles (Chicago), and image handling. It ensures submissions are in the required Microsoft Word format, preventing common rejection triggers.

This comprehensive guide details the strict academic formatting required for submitting art historical articles, particularly for journals adhering to The Chicago Manual of Style. It covers the use of CMOS endnotes (not footnotes), precise descriptive prose, and mandatory, structured formatting for captions, credit lines, and figure references.
