This comprehensive guide walks authors through the rigorous academic review process, specifically referencing the Strategic Management Journal (SMJ). It teaches how to correctly interpret complex decision letters (e.g., Major Revision, Desk Reject), understand the roles of action editors and reviewers, and systematically identify critical concerns (such as contribution to theory or endogeneity). Use this skill when you need to structure a detailed revision plan and write a convincing rebuttal letter to a top-tier academic journal.

This workflow router is designed for academic researchers targeting top-tier strategy journals. It does not write the paper but acts as a systematic guide, analyzing the current state of your manuscript—from vague ideas to final submission—and recommending the precise next specialized skill needed. It ensures that the paper is systematically improved across theory development, methodological rigor, data analysis, and contribution framing, guiding the author through the entire publication lifecycle.

A comprehensive guide for authors responding to external academic reviews (rebuttal) for top-tier journals. It outlines the precise structure, professional strategy, and tone required to defend propositions, deepen theoretical dialogue, and systematically revise a manuscript point-by-point, ensuring the response is rigorous and highly professional.

This skill guides the construction of complex legal arguments, adhering to the standard persuasive arc: doctrine → theory → normative. It ensures the writing systematically moves from mapping existing law (the problem) to developing a conceptual framework (the why) and finally proposing actionable reforms (the fix). It is essential for building a rigorous, logical, and comprehensive academic argument.

This skill guides legal scholars through a systematic preemption check to ensure their academic claim is genuinely novel and not covered by prior work. It simulates comprehensive searches across specialized databases like SSRN, Westlaw, HeinOnline, and Google Scholar. The process helps users accurately draft the critical "what's new" contribution paragraph by classifying the relationship between their claim and existing scholarship.

A rigorous methodology for systematic problem diagnosis and consequential decision-making. It operates in two modes: Problem Analysis (for root cause identification using IS/IS-NOT contrast) and Decision Analysis (for prioritizing options by screening MUSTs, weighting WANTs, and assessing adverse consequences). Ideal for complex engineering and business scenarios requiring structured evidence and risk assessment.

A systematic methodology for solving complex, multi-domain, or high-stakes problems where a single mental model creates blind spots. This process guides users to select 2-3 complementary models, assign distinct roles, define a conflict rule, and synthesize findings into a single, decision-ready recommendation.
