Skill UI

This comprehensive skill guides authors on submitting manuscripts to The Journal of Roman Studies (JRS). It outlines JRS's core expectation: an original argument built directly on primary evidence (inscriptions, texts, artifacts, etc.). It covers disciplinary standards for Roman history, archaeology, epigraphy, and literature, ensuring submissions are appropriately framed and methodologically sound before actual submission.

This skill guides authors in polishing academic manuscripts for top-tier comparative politics and International Relations journals. It ensures the work reads broadly across cases, front-loads the core argument, adheres to strict house styles (author-date, anonymity), and fits demanding word count limits. Ideal for final drafting and submission preparation.

This skill revises legal prose to match the high standards of major academic journals, ensuring clarity and readability for a generalist legal audience (e.g., non-specialist scholars, judges, and practitioners). It focuses on making the argument visible in the main text, maintaining a confident, plain voice, and properly balancing supporting material in footnotes with core reasoning in the body. Ideal for final polish passes before submission.

This skill guides researchers in transforming raw empirical findings into robust, portable, field-level theoretical contributions suitable for top-tier journals. It provides a structured framework for elevating results by defining explicit communication mechanisms, establishing scope conditions, and articulating observable implications. It ensures the work contributes to the core body of theoretical communication knowledge, moving beyond simple effect documentation.

This guide helps researchers structure and refine academic papers for the Journal on Communications (JOC). It provides a framework for separating core, decision-making content (main text) from supporting details (appendices/supplementary material), ensuring the manuscript remains scientifically rigorous yet adheres to strict length constraints (e.g., ~12000 characters). It teaches how to use a 'decisive three-question' standard.
