A guide for authors submitting to top-tier management journals (like JMS). It teaches how to crystallize raw research findings into a single, powerful, one-sentence theoretical contribution claim. This framework ensures the paper clearly defines what theoretical conversation it engages, what prior understanding it revises, and under what scope conditions, moving beyond simple results reporting.

A comprehensive guide for positioning academic contributions within journals like the Journal of Management Studies (JMS). It teaches authors to frame their work not as filling a 'gap,' but as resolving a theoretical 'tension' or advancing a specific theoretical conversation. The guide outlines key contribution archetypes (Extend, Challenge, Reconcile, Bridge) and best practices for making a rigorous, argument-driven case in the literature review.

A comprehensive guide for drafting scholarly rebuttal letters following journal review rounds (R&R). It teaches how to structure point-by-point responses, strategically address reviewer disagreements, re-sharpen the theoretical contribution, and maintain a collegial, rigorous tone to convince the handling editor of the manuscript's significant improvement.

This guide offers comprehensive structural and stylistic improvements for scholarly manuscripts intended for top-tier journals. It transforms descriptive reports into theory-forward, argumentative papers, ensuring adherence to rigorous academic conventions, such as Harvard referencing, concise abstract drafting, and clearly articulating the core theoretical contribution.

This guide helps researchers determine if their manuscript is suitable for highly quantitative, theory-driven journals. It emphasizes evaluating the core deliverable—whether it consists of a formal model, provable properties, and an algorithm, rather than relying solely on empirical data or policy recommendations. Essential for optimizing journal submission strategy.

This tool provides a systematic framework for formalizing complex management and business scenarios into a mathematically well-posed decision problem. It guides users through identifying the five critical elements: decision makers, decision variables, information structure, uncertainty sources, and objectives/constraints. This is essential for ensuring that subsequent models (optimization, game theory, etc.) are correctly structured and viable for rigorous research.

This skill is designed for advanced academic writing, helping users transform vague model findings into precise, testable mathematical propositions or theorems. It guides the rigorous structuring of proofs, ensuring logical completeness, correctly handling boundary conditions, and separating detailed derivations into an appendix, meeting the standards of top-tier academic journals.

This guide teaches authors how to structure the introduction of academic manuscripts to clearly articulate the theoretical gap, the unique scientific contribution, and the specific fit for a target journal (e.g., JAP). It moves beyond simple literature reviews, focusing on argument construction and scholarly positioning against prior work and competing venues.

This guide provides a comprehensive strategy for writing a formal rebuttal letter after a 'Revise and Resubmit' (R&R) phase for high-impact academic journals. It details how to address every reviewer comment systematically, strengthen theoretical contributions, integrate added methodological rigor (like alternative models and CMV checks), and maintain full transparency while keeping the manuscript anonymized.

This workflow orchestrates the entire manuscript submission process for the Journal of Applied Psychology (JAP). It guides authors by ensuring the paper addresses two critical standards: a theoretical contribution to I-O science, and high rigor in design and measurement. It routes users through specific stages—from topic selection and theory development to study design, data analysis, and revision.

This skill guides the process of drafting and polishing academic manuscripts, particularly for journals adhering to the APA 7th edition style. It focuses on ensuring the theoretical contribution is clear, maintaining a structured narrative arc (Introduction, Theory, Method, Results, Discussion), and achieving high levels of rigor. It polishes prose, tightens structure, and ensures statistical reporting includes effect sizes and confidence intervals, without inventing content.

This skill guides researchers through the rigorous 'fit test' for submitting research to a flagship journal like the Journal of Communication (JoC). It helps determine if a project possesses general, cross-disciplinary significance rather than being limited to a specific platform or niche subfield. Use it to elevate case studies into theory-driven mechanisms, significantly improving the scholarly impact of your work.
