A comprehensive guide for authors preparing submissions for top-tier computer vision conferences like ICCV. It instructs writers on structuring papers for a generalist reviewer pool, maintaining the 'inclusive 8-page economy,' adopting a mechanism-first exposition style, and formulating claims that withstand rigorous review and rebuttal cycles. Essential for elevating technical prose to a publishable standard.

This guide helps academics precisely define the marginal contribution of a finance research manuscript relative to the existing body of literature. It provides structured advice on how to articulate the 'delta'—the new fact or mechanism—and appropriately size the claim to match the scope of a generalist journal, avoiding pitfalls like over-claiming or mis-targeting.

A comprehensive guide for authors structuring signal processing manuscripts for top-tier venues like IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing. It details the necessary theoretical depth, the requirement for rigorous analysis (e.g., convergence, bounds), correct baseline selection, and adherence to specific academic formatting. This tool helps authors reframe general machine learning applications into rigorous, theory-driven scientific methods.

This guide provides a structured methodology for positioning academic research manuscripts, particularly for top-tier journals like the International Economic Review (IER). It teaches authors how to articulate a novel contribution (the 'delta') by defining the current academic frontier, identifying consequential gaps, and demonstrating how their work is both methodologically rigorous and generally applicable, thus justifying its placement against competing publications.

A comprehensive guide for developing robust and general economic models suitable for top-tier theoretical journals like the International Economic Review (IER). It teaches authors how to identify load-bearing assumptions, analytically prove existence and uniqueness, and structure arguments to demonstrate that results are intrinsic properties of the economy, not mere artifacts of functional form.

This skill guides researchers through a rigorous process of evaluating whether an International Relations (IR) project meets the standards of top-tier academic journals. It helps ensure the research focuses on generalizable theories of international politics, where international or cross-border phenomena are major causes or effects, rather than limited case studies or domestic political descriptions. Use this before committing to deep research or writing.

A comprehensive guide for polishing and structuring International Relations manuscripts for submission to major International Organizations (IO) journals. It ensures the paper meets rigorous academic standards: framing a generalizable theoretical contribution, adhering to strict word caps (e.g., 14,000 words), and following double-blind formatting conventions (like third-person citation and separate abstract/word count).

This guide helps researchers rigorously evaluate their chemical findings against the high standards of flagship journals like JACS. It teaches how to assess both the 'Advance' (novelty and importance) and 'Breadth' (general applicability) of a discovery, ensuring the manuscript is pitched correctly to avoid subfield-only publications. It also advises on choosing the appropriate format (Article vs. Communication).

This guide teaches authors how to structure a high-impact cover letter for medical journals like JAMA. The focus is not on summarizing the abstract, but on creating a concise, one-page pitch that clearly articulates the general medical importance of the findings, highlights the headline result with precision (effect size and 95% CI), and confirms full ethical and regulatory compliance.

This guide provides a structured protocol for authors writing methods papers in statistics or econometrics. It teaches how to define the precise 'delta' (incremental contribution) of a new method by explicitly referencing 3-6 existing state-of-the-art techniques. It emphasizes positioning the work across both traditional econometric theory and modern machine learning/data science literature, ensuring the contribution is clearly stated against named prior methods, not as a general survey.

This guide teaches systematic methods for positioning a research manuscript's marginal contribution, particularly for general-interest academic journals. It emphasizes locating the true academic frontier, explicitly naming 2-3 closest preceding works, and articulating the novel 'delta' in one sentence. The goal is to pass the 'travel test'—demonstrating why the finding matters to a broad, non-specialist readership.

This guide helps economists evaluate whether their research question and findings possess sufficient general interest to be suitable for top-tier, broad-scope journals (like JEEA). It teaches authors to test if their 'lesson travels' beyond a niche subfield and whether their methodology meets a high standard of rigor, guiding them in selecting the optimal academic venue.
