Skill UI

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.

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 router provides a systematic workflow guide for submitting academic manuscripts to top-tier finance journals, such as the Journal of Financial Research. It does not replace specialized skills but dictates the necessary sequence of steps—from initial positioning and topic selection to advanced identification, mechanism analysis, and rebuttal response—ensuring the required academic rigor and structure.

This router guides researchers through the entire lifecycle of writing and submitting a manuscript for the Journal of Health Economics (JHE). It identifies the optimal next step—from initial topic selection and causal design establishment to literature positioning, robustness testing, and handling referee revisions (R&R). It ensures the paper meets the rigorous standards of health economics, guaranteeing a structured, step-by-step approach for maximum publication success.

This skill acts as a sophisticated router for manuscripts aiming for the Journal of Human Resources (JHR). It does not replace specialized analysis skills but guides the user through the entire academic writing lifecycle—from initial topic selection and literature positioning to advanced data analysis, contribution framing, and final submission/rebuttal strategies. It is designed to diagnose workflow bottlenecks when a researcher asks, "What should I do next?"

This specialized tool guides researchers in critically evaluating if an academic idea or dataset qualifies as a genuine, theory-contributing international-business phenomenon. It implements a rigorous multi-gate test, analyzing the phenomenon, level of analysis, international theory contribution, and cross-national variation needed for high-impact publishing in journals like JIBS.

This skill guides authors on how to sharply position their research contributions within highly specialized academic fields, such as international economics. Instead of writing a broad survey, it helps define a precise 'delta'—the unique gap, mechanism, or data set—relative to the most relevant frontier papers. Ideal for defining the novelty and scope of an academic manuscript for top-tier journals.

A guide for researchers on determining if their macro or finance paper has a load-bearing international or open-economy dimension. It provides specific tests and reframing techniques to ensure the core contribution is cross-border, preventing misrouted submissions to top academic journals.

This skill guides researchers through drafting a robust and credible response to major academic revisions (R&R) from top-tier journals, particularly in institutional economics. It teaches how to systematically decode editor feedback, separate core conceptual challenges from technical gaps, and structure a point-by-point reply that addresses deal-breakers effectively, ensuring the response is substantive and highly responsive.

This skill helps researchers evaluate whether their macro-financial research question meets the scope and standards of the Journal of Monetary Economics (JME). It guides the identification of clear monetary, macro, or policy payoffs, ensuring the work addresses aggregate outcomes rather than narrow micro-effects, thereby significantly improving submission quality and target journal alignment.

This guide teaches authors how to position their manuscripts for highly interdisciplinary academic journals. It instructs authors on framing their contribution by engaging multiple academic fields (sociology, psychology, demography) to identify the precise theoretical or empirical gap, demonstrating a clear 'move' in the family science literature, rather than just listing related works.
