This skill provides a robust, systematic framework for evaluating the rigor of scientific claims and research studies. It guides users in assessing experimental design validity, detecting various biases (selection, confounding, publication), and evaluating statistical evidence. By applying established grading standards like GRADE and Cochrane Risk of Bias, it is essential for conducting systematic literature reviews, peer reviews, and deep scientific critical analysis.

This guide helps researchers assess the optimal venue for their work, determining if their project aligns best with AISTATS, or if it is better suited for major ML conferences (NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR), UAI, or specific statistics journals. It emphasizes the need for strong statistical foundations, inference guarantees, and the unique intersection of AI, ML, and statistics before starting the writing process.

A comprehensive guide for drafting or polishing long-form, integrative manuscripts for cognitive psychology journals. It teaches authors how to weave multiple experiments and formal models into a single, continuous theoretical argument, ensuring rigorous structure, narrative flow, and adherence to APA-style statistical reporting.

A comprehensive guide for structuring and presenting rigorous, high-impact experimental chapters suitable for top-tier computer science journals. Learn to design experiments driven by Research Questions (RQ), select fair baselines, conduct statistical significance testing, and implement ablation/sensitivity analyses. Ensures evidence is reproducible and perfectly aligns with abstract claims.

Guides the refinement of quantitative sociological manuscripts for publication in the European Sociological Review (ESR). Focuses on restructuring the argument to be mechanism-first, translating statistical estimates into substantive meaning, and strictly adhering to OUP/ESR formatting conventions. Essential for managing word count (including references) and maintaining academic anonymity.

This skill provides a deep dive into the rigorous multi-stage review process for scientific manuscripts, particularly in field crops. It details editor scope screening, the single-anonymized expert review, and the specific criteria required (e.g., multi-environment data, statistical rigor, general relevance) to prevent desk rejection. Use this knowledge before submission to stress-test your manuscript, anticipate reviewer objections, and structure your findings for maximum scientific impact.

This comprehensive guide polishes academic manuscripts for top-tier economics journals. It focuses on refining rhetoric by eliminating vague, empty-significance phrases and improving policy recommendations. The skill helps authors transition from mere statistical reporting to articulating clear economic implications, ensuring consistency in tense, person, and terminology.

This guide provides rigorous standards for authors, detailing how to convert dense statistical outputs (like complex regression coefficients or parameter estimates) into clear, single-question exhibits for top economics journals. It emphasizes shifting focus from mere statistical reporting (e.g., significance stars) to communicating core economic mechanisms, comparative statics, and parameter identification, ensuring the argument is immediately legible to a broad, expert audience.

A comprehensive protocol for authors handling Revise and Resubmit (R&R) or major revisions for methods papers in high-impact statistical journals. This guide structures the revision process, emphasizing how to prioritize feedback based on the handling Co-Editor's letter, classify comments (fundamental, clarification, disagreement), and draft a professional, point-by-point response letter. It ensures the manuscript updates precede the response, maintaining a gracious and concrete tone.

This comprehensive style guide optimizes financial manuscripts for high-impact academic journals, such as the Journal of Banking & Finance (JBF). It teaches authors to structure arguments by leading with the core financial question, translating statistical coefficients into interpretable economic units (e.g., basis points, asset ratios), and ensuring every claim is bounded and highly concise. Essential for refining abstracts, results sections, and introductions.

A guide on how to present highly convincing empirical evidence in academic writing, especially in economics, when regression tables or complex math are limited. This skill teaches readers to translate statistical findings into clear, impactful prose by focusing on magnitude in plain units, synthesizing the body of evidence, defining ranges of precision, and maintaining intellectual honesty.

This guide provides strict principles for transforming dense, technical academic data (like regression tables or complex charts) into self-explanatory exhibits suitable for a broad, non-specialist audience, such as those reading the Journal of Economic Perspectives (JEP). The focus is always on maximizing clarity and communicating a single, clear finding, prioritizing visual impact over statistical density.
