A comprehensive guide for authors navigating the JMIS editorial process. It explains the EIC-led, double-anonymized review structure, detailing how to interpret critical feedback related to identification, construct validity, and scope. This resource helps set realistic expectations regarding submission posture, revision strategies, and expected timelines, helping authors differentiate fatal framing issues from fixable evidence gaps.

A comprehensive guide for positioning academic contributions within journals like the Journal of Management Studies (JMS). It teaches authors to frame their work not as filling a 'gap,' but as resolving a theoretical 'tension' or advancing a specific theoretical conversation. The guide outlines key contribution archetypes (Extend, Challenge, Reconcile, Bridge) and best practices for making a rigorous, argument-driven case in the literature review.

This guide helps researchers determine if their manuscript is suitable for highly quantitative, theory-driven journals. It emphasizes evaluating the core deliverable—whether it consists of a formal model, provable properties, and an algorithm, rather than relying solely on empirical data or policy recommendations. Essential for optimizing journal submission strategy.

This guide provides comprehensive standards for structuring rigorous academic manuscripts, especially those in quantitative or mathematical fields. It emphasizes unifying notation (one symbol, one meaning), explicitly stating all assumptions, and separating core statements from lengthy proofs to maximize readability for journal reviewers.

This tool provides a systematic framework for formalizing complex management and business scenarios into a mathematically well-posed decision problem. It guides users through identifying the five critical elements: decision makers, decision variables, information structure, uncertainty sources, and objectives/constraints. This is essential for ensuring that subsequent models (optimization, game theory, etc.) are correctly structured and viable for rigorous research.

This skill is designed for advanced academic writing, helping users transform vague model findings into precise, testable mathematical propositions or theorems. It guides the rigorous structuring of proofs, ensuring logical completeness, correctly handling boundary conditions, and separating detailed derivations into an appendix, meeting the standards of top-tier academic journals.

This guide teaches authors how to structure the introduction of academic manuscripts to clearly articulate the theoretical gap, the unique scientific contribution, and the specific fit for a target journal (e.g., JAP). It moves beyond simple literature reviews, focusing on argument construction and scholarly positioning against prior work and competing venues.

This skill guides the process of drafting and polishing academic manuscripts, particularly for journals adhering to the APA 7th edition style. It focuses on ensuring the theoretical contribution is clear, maintaining a structured narrative arc (Introduction, Theory, Method, Results, Discussion), and achieving high levels of rigor. It polishes prose, tightens structure, and ensures statistical reporting includes effect sizes and confidence intervals, without inventing content.

A comprehensive guide for structuring academic manuscripts to ensure the contribution is field-wide, not niche-specific. It teaches authors how to move beyond simply presenting data by engaging the core academic debate, naming precisely what is contested or untested, and positioning the work as a conceptual shift within the broader communication field.

This guide provides a structured framework for revising a manuscript after a 'revise-and-resubmit' (R&R), particularly for multi-paradigm fields like communication studies. It focuses on strategic academic writing: mapping conflicting reviewer demands (e.g., post-positivist vs. critical), managing the strict page budget (e.g., 35-page limit), and structuring the response memo to the editor-in-chief. It emphasizes framing the response as a principled trade-off rather than simply adding content.

This skill guides researchers through the rigorous 'fit test' for submitting research to a flagship journal like the Journal of Communication (JoC). It helps determine if a project possesses general, cross-disciplinary significance rather than being limited to a specific platform or niche subfield. Use it to elevate case studies into theory-driven mechanisms, significantly improving the scholarly impact of your work.

This skill guides users in rigorously polishing and structuring academic manuscripts for submission to the Journal of Communication (JoC). It ensures adherence to APA 7th edition standards, managing strict length limits (e.g., 35 pages, 150-word abstract), and structuring the prose to maximize cross-subfield reach. Focus areas include front-loading the theoretical contribution, defining jargon, and maintaining double-anonymity.
