This skill guides political science scholars through the rigorous process of assessing whether their research project meets the high standards of top-tier journals (e.g., The Journal of Politics). It focuses on evaluating the work for general interest, theoretical innovation, methodological diversity, and appropriate scope (Research Article vs. Short Article) to maximize publication chances.

This skill serves as a comprehensive fit and venue-selection tool for submitting accounting manuscripts to the Journal of Accounting Research (JAR). It guides authors through evaluating the paper's empirical rigor, identification strategy, economic framing, and adherence to JAR's high academic standards. Use it when targeting JAR or determining if the research belongs in a top-tier academic accounting venue.

This skill provides a comprehensive guide and checklist for targeting the Journal of Experimental Medicine (JEM). It analyzes the manuscript's fit, required mechanistic depth, expected evidence bar (e.g., in vivo models, genetic dissection), and specific formatting requirements for submissions to this highly selective immunology journal. Use this tool for venue selection and manuscript re-framing.

This skill provides a comprehensive guide for researchers to pressure-test whether their public administration project is suitable for the Journal of Public Administration Research and Theory (JPART). It emphasizes contributing to or testing public-management theory rather than merely presenting policy findings, helping users refine research questions and determine the most appropriate academic venue (JPART, PAR, JPAM, Governance).

This guide helps researchers evaluate whether their topic is sufficiently 'policy-first' for the Journal of Public Policy & Marketing (JPP&M). It provides a structured framework to ensure the research addresses a live policy debate, offers distinctive marketing leverage, and identifies a clear, actionable margin for a named stakeholder. It helps authors refine their focus before writing.

This router guides authors through the entire academic manuscript lifecycle for submissions to the Journal of Public Economics (JPubE). It diagnoses structural bottlenecks and ensures that the research meets all critical gates, starting from initial topic selection and contribution framing, through rigorous data analysis, figure design, drafting, and finally preparing for submission and rebuttal.

A comprehensive guide for researchers to determine if their academic contribution truly possesses a constitutive spatial mechanism, rather than merely using geographic data. This guide helps authors navigate the nuanced boundaries between major journals (like JUE, RSUE, JEG), ensuring the paper's core novelty is its unique spatial contribution, not just its setting.

This skill acts as a comprehensive router for manuscripts targeting the Journal of Urban Economics (JUE). It diagnoses the current stage of research—from initial topic selection and spatial identification to robustness testing, writing, and rebuttal. It ensures the paper addresses the core spatial-economic requirements necessary for high-impact urban economics publications, guiding researchers through the entire scholarly lifecycle.

A comprehensive guide for linguists on determining if their research project has sufficient theoretical scope and general significance for submission to a generalist, high-impact journal. It helps researchers transition from descriptive findings to theoretically grounded, cross-subfield claims, improving their structuring and argumentation before submission.

A comprehensive guide for authors targeting the Management Science (MS) journal. It helps authors assess if their quantitative work (spanning operations, finance, IS, marketing, etc.) meets the journal's high, interdisciplinary rigor. It acts as a pre-submission checklist, advising on department selection, framing the contribution, and avoiding common desk-reject pitfalls.

This comprehensive guide provides authors with deep insight into Nature Immunology's high standards. It covers everything from field-shifting scientific significance and required mechanistic evidence (e.g., in vivo models, scRNA-seq) to specific house styles, abstract structure, and optimal venue selection. Use this skill for pre-submission vetting and improving the conceptual framing of your immunology research.

This guide provides a framework for assessing whether a research topic is suitable for interdisciplinary journals focusing on digital media and society (like NM&S). It details a four-part fit test, ensuring the research has social stakes, a portable concept, interdisciplinary reach, and enduring relevance beyond the news cycle. It helps researchers reframe narrow case studies into broadly applicable scholarly arguments.
