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.

A comprehensive academic guide for refining research questions intended for the Journal of Economic Geography (JEG). It implements a rigorous "two-community test," ensuring the topic successfully bridges geographical economics (quantitative models) and human geography (place-based studies). Use this checklist before major data collection to validate the mechanism and justify the spatial role of the research.

This router guides researchers through the complex process of preparing a manuscript for the Journal of Economic Geography (JEG). It determines the optimal sequence of specialized skills needed at each stage—from initial topic selection, theoretical modeling, and robustness checks to drafting a rebuttal. It is designed to ensure the paper meets the unique interdisciplinary standards required to satisfy both economic and geographical reviewers.

A comprehensive guide for structuring and designing synthesis exhibits for academic literature reviews (e.g., JEL surveys). It teaches how to create 'who-found-what' summary tables, conceptual framework diagrams, and meta-evidence plots that synthesize existing findings across multiple studies, without presenting new, original estimates.

This framework guides researchers in determining if a candidate academic field meets the rigorous criteria—Maturity, Importance, Synthesis Need, and Tractable Scope—required for a major, comprehensive survey article suitable for high-impact journals like the Journal of Economic Literature (JEL). It helps writers move beyond mere topic ideas to frame a compelling, scholarly argument.

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 workflow router guides users through the entire end-to-end process of developing and submitting a high-stakes academic manuscript to The Journal of Finance (JF). It outlines the necessary sequence of steps—from initial topic selection and literature positioning to empirical design, robustness checks, and final rebuttal strategy—ensuring the paper meets the rigorous standards of top-tier finance publications.

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.
