Skill UI

A comprehensive style checker and formatter for academic manuscripts targeting The RAND Journal of Economics (RJE). It ensures strict adherence to the journal's specific house rules, including author-date citations (no page numbers), unnumbered references/subsections, proper equation numbering, and correct usage of transition words (e.g., 'because' vs 'since'). Ideal for the final polish before submission.

This guide teaches advanced researchers how to articulate the novel contribution of a research paper, especially for highly competitive finance and economics journals. It provides structured techniques—such as defining counterfactuals, quantifying impacts, and establishing clear generality hooks—to ensure the work is defensible against the highest academic scrutiny and withstand rigorous referee review.

This guide teaches how to transition from a general literature survey to a precise, high-impact staking of position, particularly for top-tier finance journals like RoF. It emphasizes identifying the 3-6 closest frontier papers, clearly articulating the 'delta' (what your paper adds), and bridging the gap between empirical evidence and theoretical mechanisms. Mastery of this skill is crucial for surviving rigorous academic peer review.

This comprehensive guide details the strategy for drafting a compelling rebuttal letter and revision plan following rigorous peer review (R&R). It teaches authors how to structure point-by-point responses, differentiate between major concerns and suggestions, adhere to strict journal constraints (e.g., page caps, data consistency), and ensure all revisions are presented with verifiable evidence.

This guide provides comprehensive best practices for structuring tables and figures (exhibits) in empirical finance papers. It addresses the strict 60-page journal limit, advising authors on how to present core findings, identify mechanisms, and display robustness evidence while maintaining readability. Learn how to move mechanical grids to appendices, focus the main body, and ensure every visual element is self-contained and highly interpretable for top-tier referees.

This router guides authors through the complex, multi-stage process of preparing a manuscript for a top-tier finance journal like the Review of Finance (RoF). It diagnoses current bottlenecks—whether related to contribution framing, data analysis, or rebuttal strategy—and systematically recommends the next specialized skill to ensure a complete and high-quality submission.

A comprehensive guide for positioning research papers in competitive robotics conferences. It teaches authors how to move beyond simple literature review by establishing clear, verifiable contrasts with existing work across multiple academic lanes (e.g., RSS, ICRA, CoRL, Journals). This methodology ensures the paper's novelty is rigorously defensible.

Explains the RSS (Robotics: Science and Systems) double-blind review pipeline, two-stage threshold rebuttal, Area Chair meeting decisions, and author strategies for submissions and responses.

A comprehensive, final-stage audit guide for submitting papers to highly selective robotics conferences like RSS. It details the multi-stage deadline cascade, adherence to strict double-blind review rules, self-containment standards, and formatting requirements to maximize acceptance chances.

A comprehensive guide for technical writers revising manuscripts for top-tier robotics venues. It emphasizes shifting the paper's focus from system demonstrations to a primary, falsifiable scientific claim. Learn to structure your argument, size evidence to the claim scope, pre-answer reviewer critiques, maintain extreme concision, and report failures with scientific rigor.

A protocol designed to rehearse the rigorous academic peer review process before actual submission. It simulates an Associate Editor's initial desk-screen and incorporates multiple independent referee perspectives (e.g., identification, robustness). The output provides a calibrated decision band and a prioritized, skill-mapped list of required fixes, helping authors predict and address potential weaknesses.

This skill provides a comprehensive guide for academic manuscript submission to 'Rural Economy.' It helps users evaluate if their research topic, methodology, and structure align with the journal's academic scope, covering critical areas like rural revitalization, county economy, and agricultural policy. It outlines key structural requirements and common submission pitfalls to enhance the chances of acceptance.
