This skill serves as a comprehensive guide for authors targeting top-tier macroeconomics journals, such as the American Economic Journal: Macroeconomics. It analyzes a manuscript's fit, required methodology (e.g., DSGE, HANK, empirical identification), structural requirements, and common pitfalls (desk-reject heuristics). It is essential for researchers needing to refine their academic research and framing to meet rigorous journal standards.

This skill is a comprehensive guide for authors preparing microeconomic theory, game theory, or theoretical IO manuscripts for submission to the American Economic Journal: Microeconomics. It analyzes journal fit, required theoretical rigor, methodological standards, house style, and potential pitfalls (desk-reject heuristics), helping authors refine their work before formal submission.

This guide helps revise the prose, abstract, and introduction of applied economics manuscripts to conform to the high standards of AEJ: Applied. It teaches how to structure the paper by leading with the core finding and ensuring the economic question is clear in the first paragraph, transforming technical drafts into highly legible, journal-ready exposition.

This skill acts as a comprehensive workflow router for manuscripts targeting the American Economic Journal: Macroeconomics (AEJ: Macro). It guides the researcher through the entire publication lifecycle—from initial topic selection and literature positioning, through rigorous quantitative modeling (DSGE, SVAR), empirical identification, writing, to final submission and rebuttal strategy. It ensures the final paper meets the high standards of modern macroeconomics research.

A comprehensive guide for authors preparing a rebuttal and response letter after a major journal revision (e.g., R&R). It structures the response to referees and editors, emphasizing the policy contribution and addressing every comment point-by-point. The guide stresses the need for evidence-led arguments, strengthening the welfare/policy reading, and ensuring reproducibility standards are met to successfully resubmit high-stakes academic research.

A comprehensive style guide for polishing and refining academic manuscripts intended for the American Educational Research Journal (AERJ). It ensures strict adherence to APA 7th edition standards, improves clarity for a broad academic audience, and guides authors on structuring the contribution, managing abstract length (100-120 words), and meeting strict page limits.

A comprehensive guide detailing the intensive and rigorous peer-review standards of The American Historical Review (AHR). It covers the double-blind review process, the expectations of six or more scholars, the timeline, and the critical elements historians must include—such as historiographical intervention and source criticism—to increase a manuscript's chances of acceptance. Ideal for academics preparing submissions to top-tier history journals.

This skill provides architectural guidance for writing high-level academic history articles, specifically tailored for the American Historical Review (AHR). It helps writers ensure that the narrative development and the core historical argument are seamlessly interwoven, adhering to strict length and scholarly standards. Use it when outlining complex drafts or restructuring material that feels disjointed.

This comprehensive checklist guides authors through the final steps before submitting a manuscript to The American Historical Review (AHR) via ScholarOne. It ensures adherence to strict double-blind anonymity rules, specific formatting standards (Times New Roman, double-spaced, 8,000-word limit), Chicago manual style notes (no bibliography), and proper handling of image permissions, preventing common submission failures.

This guide details the multi-stage, rigorous review process for the American Journal of Political Science (AJPS). It covers the mechanics of double-blind screening, editorial fit assessment, expert peer review, and the unique, critical post-acceptance third-party verification step. It is designed to help authors anticipate and mitigate potential rejection issues by structuring and refining their manuscripts to meet top-tier academic standards.

A comprehensive guide for structuring academic arguments, specifically tailored to the high theoretical standards of top-tier journals like AJPS. It helps researchers transform initial ideas into a rigorous framework, defining core mechanisms, stating directional and testable hypotheses before results, and establishing clear scope conditions for empirical, formal, or methodological papers.

This skill provides a rigorous framework for political scientists to pre-test their research projects against the standards of the American Journal of Political Science (AJPS). It evaluates whether a topic has a sharp, generalizable question, demonstrates strong causal identification, provides a substantive theoretical contribution, and fits the appropriate submission type (Article, Research Note, Correspondence). Use this before committing significant time to writing.
