Skill UI

This skill guides the transformation of visual observations and documentary evidence into a sustained, contestable academic thesis, suitable for high-level scholarly publication. It teaches how to explicitly state a claim (the thesis), define its scholarly stakes, and rigorously warrant every interpretive leap using evidence chains and anticipating counter-readings. Use this when a draft is descriptive but lacks a clear, disputed argument.

Provides a comprehensive guide to the developmental, multi-round review process at Administrative Science Quarterly (ASQ). It explains decision types, reviewer roles, what to expect in each revision round, and how to strategically interpret complex decision letters to improve manuscript quality and submission strategy.

This comprehensive audit checklist guides authors preparing a paper for the COLT Conference on Learning Theory. It details crucial requirements such as the 12-page PMLR format, single-PDF assembly, and double-anonymous formatting. It helps authors preemptively detect common submission flaws, including parallel-submission violations and formatting errors, ensuring the manuscript meets high academic standards.

A comprehensive guide for polishing Developmental Psychology manuscripts. It ensures adherence to APA 7th edition standards, focusing on foregrounding developmental change, using JARS reporting for methods and results, and correctly formatting the Abstract and Public Significance Statement based on the required length tier. It helps authors shift focus from single-age findings to developmental trajectories and mechanisms.

This router guides the entire lifecycle for writing complex, theory-driven academic manuscripts, particularly in fields like econometrics. It provides a structured roadmap spanning from initial topic selection and literature positioning through rigorous proof development, data simulation, drafting style, and the final submission/rebuttal phases. Use this resource when you are unsure of the correct sequential step or need a systematic check of all necessary components before finalizing your work.

This guide provides a comprehensive strategy for navigating the rigorous developmental review cycle of top-tier academic journals. It teaches users how to interpret complex decision letters (Desk Reject, Major R&R), identify binding concerns from both editors and reviewers, and strategically determine if a revision effort is worthwhile before resubmission.

This guide provides structured criteria for selecting high-quality, publishable topics for academic law review submissions, such as the Harvard Law Review. It emphasizes that successful topics must possess broad legal significance, be timely (linked to recent legal developments), and contain a clear normative argument, moving beyond mere descriptive surveys.

This guide provides a comprehensive understanding of the Human Relations (HR) journal's two-gate review system. It details the editorial scoping screen, the double-anonymous developmental peer review, and how to accurately interpret various decision types (e.g., Major Revision vs. Reject). It is crucial for authors to calibrate expectations regarding theoretical contribution, process timelines, and strategic decisions about rerouting to sibling journals.

A comprehensive guide for developing rigorous theory for Information Systems Research (ISR) manuscripts. It outlines two primary theorizing modes—Behavioral (focusing on explicit causal mechanisms centered on the IT artifact) and Analytical (deriving propositions from economic/equilibrium models). The framework emphasizes making the theory sociotechnical by bridging traditional IS silos and ensuring the IT artifact is the load-bearing theoretical element, moving beyond simple correlation to mechanistic insight.

A comprehensive guide for transforming descriptive academic material into a sharp, contestable, and thesis-driven argument. This skill helps scholars structure their research papers, moving beyond mere surveys or descriptions to make claims that can be disputed and defended with evidence and rigorous method, suitable for high-level scholarly journals.

This comprehensive router guides researchers through the entire process of developing, analyzing, and submitting a manuscript to the Journal of Accounting and Economics (JAE). It provides a structured roadmap, helping users determine the next critical step—from initial topic selection and theory development to advanced econometrics, contribution framing, and final submission preparation. It ensures that the work maintains a rigorous, economics-based argument using archival data, preventing common pitfalls like vague ideas or insufficient identification strategies.

This guide provides a structured framework for drafting a point-by-point rebuttal letter after receiving a major revision decision from a top-tier academic journal. It emphasizes strategic communication, prioritizing the Senior Editor's concerns, addressing technical issues in the appropriate disciplinary 'currency,' and maintaining a developmental, professional tone to maximize the chances of acceptance.
