This skill guides authors on assessing the suitability of their general biology manuscript for PLOS Biology. It covers the journal's high standards for scientific rigor, data availability, mandatory reporting guidelines (e.g., ARRIVE, CONSORT), and the structure of a plain-language Author Summary. Use this tool for venue selection and optimizing your submission to maximize publication chances.

A comprehensive guide for authors targeting PLOS Medicine. It outlines the journal's scope, required methodological rigor (e.g., CONSORT, STROBE), house style, and essential pre-submission checks. Use this when assessing if a clinical, public health, or epidemiological manuscript meets the journal's high open-access standards.

This guide helps scholars assess whether their literary or language-studies project meets the broad, general-interest standards of PMLA. It provides a detailed "fit test" framework, ensuring the work focuses on a significant problem, maintains broad scholarly interest, and presents a sustained argument rather than a descriptive survey. Useful for framing academic essays or deciding between different publication venues.

This skill acts as an orchestrator for developing and submitting academic manuscripts targeting PMLA. It guides authors through the entire scholarly lifecycle, helping them determine the appropriate stage (e.g., argument development, theoretical framing, textual evidence) and the best venue (e.g., regular article, special feature). It ensures the work adheres to literary and language studies standards, emphasizing close reading and scholarly positioning.

A comprehensive guide detailing how to convert various citation styles (such as APA or Harvard author-date) into the specific, numbered format required by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). It covers numbered citations by order of appearance, full author listing, abbreviated journal titles, and specific formats for articles, books, and datasets, ensuring manuscripts meet high academic publishing standards.

This skill guides authors through the critical pre-submission decisions for fully Gold Open Access publishing. It helps confirm the Article Processing Charge (APC), check eligibility for waivers/discounts (e.g., low-income status, institutional agreements), and select the appropriate Creative Commons license (CC BY vs CC BY-NC) to ensure funder compliance and adherence to academic standards.

A comprehensive, backward-scheduled workflow guide for preparing submissions to top-tier theoretical computer science conferences like POPL. It maps out critical academic milestones, detailing the journey from initial core theorem stabilization (16+ weeks out) through the July submission deadline, October notification, mandatory artifact evaluation, and final January presentation. Includes strategies for contingency planning and retargeting to alternative venues if the primary timeline falters.

This tool acts as an orchestrator for manuscripts submitted to Public Opinion Quarterly (POQ). It guides authors through the entire academic writing lifecycle, determining the appropriate submission type (e.g., Original Article, Research Note) and routing them through the required methodological and structural stages, ensuring adherence to public opinion and survey standards.

This guide serves as a comprehensive workflow router for authors preparing a high-impact physics Letter for Physical Review Letters (PRL). It does not replace specialized skills but guides users through the entire publication pipeline—from confirming the scientific scope and framing the central claim, to managing methodology, figures, length, and revision responses, ensuring the manuscript meets strict journal standards.

This comprehensive guide serves as the final preflight checklist for submitting research to academic journals, specifically focusing on Psychological Science standards. It verifies adherence to strict requirements, including APA 7th edition formatting, specific word count limits, mandatory author anonymization, and rigorous open science compliance (e.g., depositing data, materials, and scripts with DOIs). Use this before final submission to ensure maximum compliance.

A comprehensive guide and fit test designed to help researchers assess whether their empirical psychology project meets the high standards of top-tier journals like Psychological Science. It evaluates key criteria including broad impact, statistical robustness, open science readiness (preregistration/data sharing), and adherence to strict format limits. Use this skill to pressure-test your idea before committing resources to data collection or analysis, guiding you toward the optimal manuscript type (e.g., Research Article vs. Registered Report).

A comprehensive preflight checklist for submitting academic manuscripts to Public Administration Review (PAR). It guides authors through mandatory final checks, including double-blind anonymization, adherence to strict word count limits (≤ 8,000 words), proper abstract length (≤ 150 words), APA formatting, and inclusion of Evidence for Practice points. Use this checklist before the final upload to avoid common formatting or procedural rejection reasons.
