This guide provides an expert methodology for writing the 'Related Work' section for top-tier web conferences (like WWW). It teaches authors how to establish the paper's academic lineage, contrast the work against competing venues (e.g., SIGIR, KDD), and manage citation hygiene, ensuring maximum impact within strict page limits.

A comprehensive guide for authors on allocating limited space within academic conference papers. It details the 'three-container model' (main body, references, appendix) and provides rules for maximizing rhetorical impact while adhering to strict page limits, ensuring evidence is placed correctly for reviewers.

A comprehensive guide for authors drafting or revising academic papers for Web Conference (WWW). It teaches how to structure the paper around a web-native mechanism, quantify scale, and write for a mixed computing and social science audience. Learn best practices for page-one impact, compression, and stylistic details to maximize review scores.

This skill assesses whether a manuscript is suitable for World Development, a leading multidisciplinary development-studies journal. It guides authors on re-framing their work to focus on real-world development problems, policy relevance, and global issues (e.g., poverty, climate, governance). It clarifies the required balance between rigorous methodology and multidisciplinary, actionable insights for a broad academic readership.

This guide helps researchers position their work within the broader, multidisciplinary development conversation. It teaches how to move beyond simply presenting new data or techniques, focusing instead on bridging disciplines (e.g., economics and political science) and identifying the core conceptual contribution that a non-specialist can grasp. It is crucial for manuscripts aiming for high-impact development journals.

A comprehensive guide for authors responding to major or minor revisions following peer review at top-tier journals (e.g., World Development). It teaches how to structure the rebuttal letter, synthesize conflicting referee demands (methodology vs. context), and strategically triage feedback—conceding, strengthening, or defending—to maximize the chance of publication.

This guide provides best practices for optimizing the presentation of data exhibits—including tables, figures, and qualitative displays—in development economics manuscripts. It ensures that complex findings are highly legible and actionable for a multidisciplinary, policy-oriented audience, moving beyond simple statistical reporting to communicate clear, impactful narratives.

This guide provides a comprehensive framework for researchers to assess if their development-related work is suitable for World Development (WD). It moves beyond mere methodological rigor, focusing instead on the paper's multidisciplinary relevance, real-world policy stakes, and ability to advance global understanding of development problems (e.g., poverty, governance, inequality). It helps authors ensure their findings appeal to a broad academic and policy audience.

This guide instructs researchers on how to adapt academic manuscripts for a highly cross-disciplinary, policy-oriented audience, modeled after the standards of World Development (WD). It emphasizes shifting the focus from literature gaps or technical methods to concrete development problems, translating complex jargon and statistical findings into clear, actionable policy implications, ensuring maximum readability for non-specialist policymakers and scholars.

This skill provides comprehensive norms for executing and reporting robust, reproducible data analysis in comparative, cross-national, or formal-empirical studies. It guides authors on honestly reporting uncertainty, ensuring statistical robustness, performing rigorous cross-national inference, and integrating qualitative evidence through triangulation to meet the demanding standards of top academic journals.

This guide provides critical advice on how to position scholarly articles, particularly in Comparative Politics and International Relations. It teaches authors to move beyond single-country case studies by framing their work within a live, cross-case academic debate. Learn how to identify theoretical gaps, engage with key literature, and articulate your unique contribution to the wider field.

This guide provides a comprehensive strategy for authors responding to a 'Revise and Resubmit' (R&R) decision from a top-tier journal. It details how to structure a concise, persuasive, and highly professional rebuttal memo (typically limited to five pages). Learn how to address every reviewer comment, reconcile conflicting demands, protect the paper's core arguments, and maintain scholarly rigor while remaining anonymous.
