Skill UI

A comprehensive guide for formatting academic manuscripts for the American Historical Review (AHR). This skill mandates adherence to the Chicago Manual of Style (CMOS) guidelines where all citations must be placed exclusively in footnotes or endnotes. It strictly prohibits the use of bibliography pages or in-text parenthetical citations, providing detailed rules for citing books, journals, digitized, and especially sensitive archival/manuscript sources.

This skill provides a comprehensive guide for authors targeting the *China Public Administration Review*. It details the journal's academic scope, preferred research topics (e.g., governance, policy reform, digital government), required methodology, structural format, and common submission pitfalls. It helps users refine their manuscript to meet the high academic standards of a CSSCI-level journal.

This framework helps researchers rigorously pressure-test their sociological projects to determine if they align with the scope of a major quantitative, comparative journal like the European Sociological Review (ESR). It guides users on moving beyond single-country descriptions by focusing on portable mechanisms, cross-national variation, and longitudinal designs to ensure the work advances social theory.

This guide provides a structured framework for drafting professional rebuttals to academic conference reviews, such as ICASSP. It emphasizes the critical difference between correcting factual errors and addressing legitimate gaps. The focus must be on providing a clean rationale for the technical committee's acceptance, adopting a professional tone suitable for a single-blind review process, and anchoring all claims to the submitted material.

This guide outlines the critical steps required after an academic paper has been accepted at a major conference. It details the process of converting an anonymous submission into the final, camera-ready version for publication in the ACM Digital Library. Key steps include de-anonymization (restoring author details, affiliations, and funding), completing ACM rights forms and metadata (ORCIDs, CCS), verifying the final layout integrity after template changes, and confirming presentation obligations.

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.

This comprehensive guide outlines the mandatory steps for transforming an accepted, anonymized academic paper into the final ACM Digital Library Camera-Ready format. It covers de-anonymization, adhering to ACM metadata standards (DOI, ORCID, CCS concepts), integrating reviewer feedback, and ensuring permanent reproducibility of code and traces.

This guide clarifies the role of computation in theoretical computer science submissions, particularly for venues that prioritize theorems over empirical data. It distinguishes between legitimate forms of evidence—such as certified proof steps, constructive object discoveries, and illustrative examples—and inappropriate performance benchmarking. It helps researchers structure their work to align with theorem-based research, ensuring computational elements enhance the core theoretical contribution.
