Skill UI

A comprehensive preflight checklist designed for authors submitting academic manuscripts to specialized journals. It guides users through verifying complex requirements, including formatting rules (double-spacing, font size), style compliance, data availability policies, and submission fee procedures, ensuring the paper is submission-ready and meets journal standards.

Guides authors through the rigorous process of revising and responding to referee reports (R&R) for top-tier academic journals. It details how to structure the response letter, triage reviewer comments (concede, clarify, push back, decline), and ensures the revised manuscript precedes the letter. Essential for maintaining academic credibility during the publishing cycle.

This workflow acts as a comprehensive router for academic researchers, guiding the entire manuscript lifecycle from initial topic selection and literature positioning through empirical identification, theoretical modeling, writing refinement, and final submission/rebuttal. It ensures the work adheres to the rigorous standards of top journals like The Review of Economic Studies (REStud).

This skill guides researchers through the rigorous process of refining a preliminary accounting idea into a sharp, contribution-driven research question suitable for top academic journals like Review of Accounting Studies (RAST). It helps users identify the core accounting construct, define the mechanism (friction/channel), and ensure the study's focus is on accounting theory, rather than merely using accounting data in a general finance context.

This router guides the entire workflow for developing a high-quality academic manuscript targeting the Review of Accounting Studies (RAST). It helps users determine the next necessary step—be it theory development, data analysis, refining contributions, or preparing for submission and rebuttal—ensuring methodological rigor and structural completeness throughout the writing process.

This router guides the entire lifecycle of scholarly reviews, including systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and critical integrative syntheses. It maps out the necessary steps—from question scoping and protocol registration (PRISMA) through systematic searching, framework building, data coding, and final submission/revision—ensuring methodological rigor for high-impact academic journals.

A comprehensive checklist for preparing academic manuscripts for submission to major financial journals. It guides authors through formatting rules, ensuring double-blind anonymization, preparing the Internet Appendix, writing a detailed cover letter, and addressing mandatory code release conditions, ensuring readiness before final portal submission.

This guide acts as a comprehensive workflow router for developing manuscripts intended for The Review of Financial Studies (RFS). It diagnoses the current stage of the research process—from initial topic selection and literature positioning to empirical design, robustness checking, writing polish, and rebuttal. It does not replace specialized skills but directs the user to the precise skill needed next, ensuring novelty and rigor are maintained throughout the entire academic publishing cycle.

A comprehensive guide and checklist for submitting academic manuscripts to specific journals (like RJE) via online portals. This tool verifies adherence to strict submission requirements, including hard page caps (e.g., 40/50 pp), abstract word limits (<=100 words), required citation styles (Author-Date), file types (Word/LaTeX), and non-refundable fee considerations. It ensures authors are fully prepared before hitting the final submit button.

This router guides authors through the entire lifecycle of submitting an applied microeconomics or Industrial Organization (IO) manuscript to the RAND Journal of Economics (RJE). It acts as an entry-point dispatcher, mapping specific writing, analysis, and revisions (e.g., framing, identification, rebuttal) to the correct stage, ensuring the paper meets the journal's stringent standards.

This guide helps researchers evaluate whether a finance research topic meets the general-interest and intellectual standards of top-tier academic journals. It provides critical frameworks, such as testing for a "first-order question," "generality," and "top-three standards," ensuring the idea has broad appeal beyond a niche field. Ideal for pre-submission vetting and refining academic arguments.

This guide provides comprehensive style and revision rules for manuscripts submitted to top-tier finance journals, such as the Review of Finance (RoF). It helps authors transform their research into highly polished, general-finance readable prose, focusing on structuring the abstract (under 150 words), adhering to double-blind anonymity, maintaining Chicago citation style, and meeting strict length constraints (e.g., 60-page cap). Use this when your core results are stable and you are polishing the final draft for publication.
