This skill provides a comprehensive framework for assessing whether an economics manuscript is suitable for the Quarterly Journal of Economics (QJE). It guides authors through evaluating the research scope (must be general-interest), evidence quality (requires clean natural experiments or quasi-experimental designs), narrative structure (leading with consequential findings), and adherence to rigorous academic submission standards.

A comprehensive guide for structuring point-by-point responses to reviewers after a major academic review (RED). It emphasizes prioritizing model critiques, quantitative evidence, calibration discipline, and maintaining code/data archive updates. This skill ensures your rebuttal is structured, rigorous, and directly addresses the core concerns of quantitative reviewers.

This guide helps researchers test whether their economic research question aligns with the specialized scope of top-tier journals, particularly those focusing on dynamic and quantitative mechanisms (like RED). It provides a structured methodology, including fit tests and scoring dimensions (Dynamics, Model, Discipline, Audience), to ensure the core contribution is genuinely dynamic and methodologically rigorous.

A comprehensive academic skill designed to guide authors targeting top-tier Chinese policy journals, such as 'Reform.' It helps assess whether a manuscript's core contribution, methodology, and research focus align with the journal's scope (e.g., economic reform, public policy, institutional change). The tool covers academic standards, common pitfalls, necessary structural adjustments, and adherence to specific citation styles (GB/T 7714).

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.

A comprehensive guide for authors detailing the entire academic submission lifecycle for Research Policy (RP). It covers the double-blind review process, the role of handling editors, how desk rejects are assessed (scope vs. contribution), and strategies for planning major and minor revisions. This resource helps authors set realistic expectations and plan their next steps before drafting the formal response letter.

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 authors transitioning from summarizing individual studies to synthesizing knowledge across a field. It teaches the critical, integrative voice required for publishing high-impact reviews, covering structure (Introduction Arc), methodology (APA 7), and critical argumentation (Synthesis vs. Summary). Essential for systematic literature reviews.

This skill provides a comprehensive guide for authors submitting manuscripts to elite economics journals, such as Review of Economic Studies. It assesses the paper's fit by evaluating novelty, theoretical rigor, methodological sophistication, and adherence to modern academic standards, helping authors strategically position their work and decide on the best target venue.

This skill acts as a specialized guide for researchers submitting applied econometrics or empirical economics manuscripts. It helps authors assess the suitability of their work for the Review of Economics and Statistics (REStat) venue. It emphasizes framing the contribution around careful identification, robust measurement, and clean design, rather than general interest, providing crucial pre-submission self-checks and identifying potential desk-reject risks.

This skill is a comprehensive fit and venue-selection tool designed for authors targeting top-tier finance journals, such as Review of Finance. It helps authors assess whether their manuscript meets the journal's rigorous standards across scope, methodology, evidence, and structure. Use it to re-frame your work, check for potential desk-reject risks, and identify suitable alternative elite-field venues before submission.

A specialized academic tool designed to help researchers evaluate whether their manuscript is suitable for submission to highly specialized journals, such as the China Review of Political Economy. It guides users on aligning empirical findings with deep theoretical construction, institutional analysis, and the specific theoretical framing of Marxist and Chinese socialist political economy.
