This auxiliary skill helps researchers assess the suitability of their academic manuscripts in economics, social science, or management for submission to high-level journals like 'Reform of Economic System'. It provides comprehensive guidance on journal positioning, required theoretical depth, appropriate methodology, structural requirements, and common pitfalls, helping authors significantly improve their submission readiness and increase acceptance chances.

This guide teaches authors how to properly position their research contribution within a specialized academic field, particularly for journals like Research Policy. It instructs users on how to move beyond simple citation lists by identifying a clear, theoretical knowledge gap (a tension) in the existing literature. By anchoring the work in foundational canons and naming the prevailing consensus, authors can structure a compelling argument that defines what the field should believe after reading the paper.

A comprehensive guide for applied economics researchers to determine the optimal academic venue for their work. It helps users assess whether their contribution is a clean causal estimate, a measurement advance, or a pure method, ensuring the research question is framed appropriately for specific journals like REStat, AER, or AEJ:Applied.

A comprehensive guide for researchers in finance and economics to rigorously assess their research proposals. It helps pressure-test an idea against the high standards of top academic journals, focusing on establishing genuine novelty (new questions, mechanisms, or data) and methodological rigor. Ideal for structuring the contribution claim and refining the research design.

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 specialized skill guides users in assessing whether their Chinese R&D or innovation management manuscript is suitable for submission to the journal Science Research Management. It helps users understand the journal's specific scope, required structure, key evidence types, and common rejection pitfalls, ensuring the work is properly framed for academic publication.

This guide outlines the strict writing and formatting requirements for submitting scholarly manuscripts to a general social science audience. Key guidelines include adopting the Chicago Manual of Style (17th ed., author-date), maintaining an accessible, argument-first prose, and adhering to a stringent total word count cap that includes all references. It ensures academic submissions are professional, readable, and properly formatted for publication.

A comprehensive pre-upload audit guide for submissions to SIGMETRICS. It details the complex requirements, including navigating the three annual rolling deadlines, adhering to the two-step abstract/paper submission process, ensuring proper formatting (20-page limit, unlimited references), and maintaining strict double-anonymous anonymity throughout the review cycle.

This guide helps researchers determine the most appropriate venue (e.g., SIGMETRICS, NSDI, IMC, NeurIPS) for their computer systems performance evaluation research. It emphasizes that contributions must be rigorous performance-evaluation results—such as proven models, principled measurements, or guaranteed learning algorithms—rather than merely built systems or pure network measurements.

A comprehensive audit tool for stress-testing the logical coherence of sociological theory manuscripts. This skill guides the user through checking every link in the theoretical spine (premises → mechanism → propositions → conclusion), ensuring that claims are warranted, identifying strongest rival explanations, and handling potential counter-cases. It strengthens the argument itself, independent of empirical data.

This guide helps researchers determine if their academic idea constitutes a genuine theoretical problem suitable for a specialized theory journal, rather than an empirical study or a simple literature review. It screens for conceptual advances, teaching users to distinguish between mere topics, data-driven findings, and deep theoretical gaps. Use this when you have an intuition or critique but are unsure of the theoretical depth or appropriate academic venue.

This skill guides users on transforming a sociological manuscript from a descriptive literature review into a sustained, argumentative theoretical piece. It ensures the writing follows rigorous academic standards, adheres to the ASA Style Guide, respects strict length caps (including citations and references), and shifts the focus from summarizing findings to advancing novel theoretical propositions.
