A comprehensive guide for polishing academic manuscripts targeting the American Anthropologist (AA). It ensures the prose is readable across all anthropological subfields, adheres to Chicago author-date style, respects strict word counts (e.g., 200-word abstract), and incorporates inclusive, ethically sensitive language. Ideal for final drafting and submission preparation.

A comprehensive guide for drafting the formal rebuttal and response letter following a journal's revise-and-resubmit (R&R) decision, specifically tailored for AMJ standards. It teaches authors how to structure point-by-point responses to action editors and reviewers, reconcile conflicting demands, and strategically defend or deepen the manuscript's theoretical and methodological contributions while maintaining a professional and collegial tone.

This comprehensive preflight checklist guides authors through the rigorous submission process for the Academy of Management Journal (AMJ). It covers crucial details such as double-blind anonymization, AOM house-style formatting (Times New Roman 12pt, double-spaced), ethical declarations (AI disclosure, IRB), and adherence to the ScholarOne portal requirements. Use this guide before finalizing your submission.

This tool provides comprehensive, late-stage polish for full-manuscript academic prose, specifically tailored for top-tier journals (e.g., AMJ). It focuses on transforming dense, jargon-heavy text into rigorous yet highly readable narratives. Key functions include front-loading the core argument, enforcing active voice, refining structural flow (Introduction to Discussion arc), ensuring consistent terminology, and adhering strictly to required academic house styles and formatting standards. It improves clarity and rhetorical impact without altering the theoretical contribution or data analy...

This skill guides the stress-testing of theoretical manuscripts by focusing purely on logical coherence. It helps authors develop robust arguments by verifying proposition chains, running counterfactual thought experiments, addressing rival theories, and identifying disconfirming cases. It ensures the internal consistency and rigor of a theory, independent of empirical data analysis.

This guide outlines the rigorous methodology for developing theoretical arguments, specifically for top-tier academic journals. It focuses on the 'craft of theory construction'—defining necessary constructs, deriving relationships, specifying underlying mechanisms, and setting boundary conditions. It is a conceptual framework tool, not an empirical data analysis method, helping researchers elevate the rigor of their theoretical contributions.

A comprehensive guide for constructing conceptual exhibits—such as process models, 2x2 typologies, and multi-level frameworks—for academic manuscripts. This resource emphasizes that figures must represent pure theoretical work (constructs and relationships) rather than empirical data plots, ensuring structural clarity for top-tier academic publishing.

This guide provides late-stage polishing for academic manuscripts, specifically targeting the Academy of Management Review (AMR) house style. It helps transform drafts that read like literature reviews or essays into tightly structured, argument-driven theoretical pieces. Key focus areas include establishing a clear theoretical puzzle in the introduction, maintaining continuous argumentative flow, ensuring precise definition of constructs, and articulating propositions without using hypothesis language. It is crucial for authors who need to refine their prose and structure before final subm...

This guide helps authors determine if their philosophical paper is suitable for *Analysis*, a journal known for its short, focused, single-point articles. It assesses the argument's rigor, conciseness, and structure against the journal's strict house style, helping authors refine their work or select a better academic venue.

A comprehensive guide for structuring pure mathematics manuscripts, focusing on exposition, logical flow, and readability for expert non-specialists. It emphasizes stating theorems before proof, maintaining consistent notation, and using commutative diagrams or figures only when they clarify complex relationships better than prose.

This guide outlines the rigorous, multi-step process for authors revising a mathematical or scientific manuscript following a detailed referee report. It emphasizes the critical rule: always fix mathematical gaps and errors in the text first, and only then draft a structured, point-by-point reply that is respectful, precise, and mathematically grounded.

A comprehensive guide to the rigorous standards for structuring pure mathematics manuscripts, specifically detailing the proper use of appendices and auxiliary material. It teaches authors how to distinguish between the essential core argument (which must remain in the main text) and supplementary technical results, long computations, or background lemmas (which belong in the appendix). This ensures the main text remains focused while maintaining academic rigor and verifiability for peer review.
