This guide helps polish academic manuscripts for submission to specialized journals, such as the Journal of Financial Intermediation (JFI). It ensures adherence to institutional house conventions (numbered sections, author-date referencing, concise abstract) and, critically, structures the argumentation to explain the underlying economic mechanism *before* presenting formal econometric specifications, elevating the paper's scholarly rigor.

This guide provides a comprehensive framework for authors to articulate the unique and marginal contribution of their research within the highly specialized field of health economics. It teaches how to frame findings against canonical literature, identify specific gaps, and structure the argument to satisfy expert reviewers, ensuring the paper's novelty is clearly demonstrated.

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.

A comprehensive guide for positioning high-impact scientific research for journals like Nature. It covers scope fit, methodological rigor, structural constraints, and techniques for framing complex findings into a universal, compelling narrative for a broad, non-specialist audience.

This guide helps scholars assess if their social, economic, or cultural history manuscript aligns with the rigorous, problem-driven standards of Past & Present. It instructs authors on framing their research around a core "big question"—a genuine historical problem—ensuring comparative significance, adhering to historiographical expectations, and meeting specific academic standards like double-blind review and Chicago style.

A guide for scholars on structuring academic essays to stake a clear, significant contribution within a broad critical conversation. It teaches how to move beyond simple citation dumps by identifying the core scholarly problem, engaging diverse critical traditions, and pre-empting counter-arguments, ensuring the work resonates with both specialists and generalists in the field.

This guide details the rigorous review process for Production and Operations Management (POM), covering departmental screening, double-blind peer review, and the strict evaluation standards. It explains the 'twin standard' (scholarly rigor and managerial relevance), how to interpret decision letters (R&R vs. Reject), and the critical rules governing resubmission, helping authors navigate the publishing journey.

This guide teaches how to structure the introduction of a scholarly paper to effectively position its unique contribution against the current academic frontier. Instead of writing a general literature review, it focuses on articulating the 'delta'—what the paper does that prior work could not—making the work highly visible to general-interest journal editors and referees.

This guide provides rigorous best practices and structural templates for authors submitting to sociological journals. It emphasizes moving beyond mere background description to focus on the core sociological problem, mechanism, key findings, and theoretical contribution, while adhering to strict length constraints for both English and Chinese abstracts.

This skill serves as a comprehensive guide for authors targeting The William and Mary Quarterly. It helps users re-frame local studies into arguments that engage with the field's major debates concerning 'vast early America,' covering topics such as slavery, indigenous encounters, and transatlantic exchange. It details field positioning, historiographical intervention, and submission standards.

A rigorous framework to prevent confident fabrication (hallucination) by treating competence as an evidence boundary. It guides users to classify claims—Grounded, Partial, or Ungrounded—based on verifiable sources. It mandates assessing the cost of wrongness before answering, fetching, or abstaining, ensuring that assertions are always backed by sufficient evidence.
