Skill UI

Designed for authors submitting to general-interest journals like JEEA. This skill helps stress-test a manuscript by simulating the two-gate decision process: the co-editor's fit assessment (desk-reject risk) and the referees' technical critiques. It guides authors on pre-empting common objections—such as general interest lack, identification weakness, or model fragility—by strategically framing the paper before submission.

A comprehensive guide for academics writing in environmental economics, detailing how to articulate the marginal contribution of a manuscript. It teaches authors to move beyond simply presenting new data or methods, focusing instead on identifying the specific environmental-economic gap, policy parameter, or mechanism that the field currently lacks.

This router guides authors through the rigorous workflow of submitting a manuscript to the Journal of Environmental Economics and Management (JEEM). It provides a structured, step-by-step sequence—from topic selection and causal identification to robust modeling and final rebuttal—ensuring the paper meets the high standards of environmental and resource economics.

A comprehensive guide for authors submitting manuscripts to the Journal of Economic Growth (JEG). It details the specific expectations of specialized reviewers in dynamic macroeconomics, covering key areas like theoretical originality, empirical identification, and fit with long-run growth mechanisms. Use this guide to pre-emptively address potential weaknesses and structure revisions.

A comprehensive preflight checklist for submitting academic manuscripts, specifically tailored for journals focusing on economic growth and development. It guides authors through required metadata, structural completeness (abstract length, appendices), and crucially, scope alignment checks to ensure the paper focuses on long-run economic mechanisms.

A comprehensive guide for polishing academic manuscripts intended for the Journal of Economic Growth (JEG). It instructs authors on structuring arguments around core growth mechanisms, translating raw econometric coefficients into meaningful growth language (e.g., convergence, productivity), and applying specific metadata and citation standards (APA, JEL codes) required by top-tier journals in development economics.

This skill acts as a comprehensive workflow router for authors preparing a survey or review article for the Journal of Economic Literature (JEL). It guides users through the entire academic writing lifecycle, from initial topic selection and proposing the scope to systematic literature synthesis, structuring the argument, and handling revisions based on editor/referee feedback. It ensures the output is a scholarly synthesis, not a primary research paper.

This comprehensive checklist guides authors through the critical pre-submission steps for the Journal of Economic Perspectives (JEP). It ensures that the manuscript is structured as an accessible synthesis for a broad audience, adheres to mandatory AEA disclosure policies, and meets all formatting and submission requirements before emailing the proposal or paper.

A comprehensive preflight guide for authors submitting to the Journal of Economic Theory (JET). It verifies critical technical formatting, reference compliance, ethical disclosures (AI use, data policy), and structural requirements necessary for successful submission via Elsevier Editorial Manager.

A comprehensive workflow router designed for authors submitting highly theoretical manuscripts to the Journal of Economic Theory (JET). It guides users through the entire academic lifecycle—from initial scope assessment and theoretical positioning to drafting, revision (R&R), and final submission. It emphasizes adherence to JET's strict theory-first standards, ensuring every step reduces potential desk or referee risk.

This comprehensive guide provides a detailed preflight checklist for submitting academic manuscripts to the Journal of Financial Economics (JFE). It walks authors through critical steps covering formatting standards (e.g., abstract length, citation style), ensuring anonymity, managing mandatory code/data deposits, and verifying submission requirements such as fees and target portals. Use this tool to ensure your paper is submission-ready.

A comprehensive guide for authors writing empirical papers (especially in finance/economics). It teaches the critical skill of separating load-bearing claims (must be in the main text) from exhaustive supporting evidence (best placed in the Internet Appendix). It details how to build a fully reproducible package, including data lineage, codebooks, and documenting proprietary data access paths.
