This guide helps researchers sharpen the theoretical contribution ("the so what?") of their academic manuscripts, especially for high-level social science journals. It teaches how to move beyond simply reporting 'findings' to making a substantive theoretical claim by identifying the contribution type (e.g., reframing, mechanism, boundary) and structuring the discussion to meet rigorous academic standards.

This skill guides users through determining if a proposed organizational or workplace phenomenon is suitable for publication in Human Relations. It teaches how to shift focus from mere 'hot topics' or manager-prescriptive advice to uncovering a deep, theoretically grounded puzzle about social relationships at work. It also helps differentiate the topic's scope from similar journals like AMJ, OS, and JMS.

A comprehensive guide for authors submitting data-intensive systems papers to top-tier conferences (like ICDE). It details how to structure the paper, ensure technical claims are reconstructable, quantify all performance gains with associated costs, and compress complex ideas into a limited page budget while maintaining scholarly rigor.

This comprehensive guide helps authors assemble and audit the Supporting Information (SI) for a Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS) manuscript. It ensures every reported chemical result and structure is fully reproducible by an independent chemist, covering detailed procedures, full characterization data (NMR, HRMS, IR), stereochemistry, and crystallographic details (CIF/CCDC).

This router guides authors through the complex, multi-stage process of preparing a high-impact chemistry manuscript for the Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS). It does not replace specialized skills but rather dictates the correct sequence of actions—from scope checking and data framing to revision and final submission—ensuring a rigorous and systematic workflow.

This comprehensive checklist guides academic authors through the final compliance checks for submitting a manuscript to the Journal of the Association for Information Systems (JAIS). It covers critical elements such as double-blind anonymization, adherence to APA-6 formatting, confirming manuscript category and length budgeting, and ensuring the inclusion of required components like SEM matrices, minimizing the risk of administrative rejection.

This specialized router guides authors through the entire manuscript development lifecycle for submission to the Journal of the Association for Information Systems (JAIS). It does not write the paper, but rather diagnoses the current stage (e.g., vague idea, need for theory, data analysis, or rebuttal) and recommends the precise specialized jais-* skill needed next. It is essential for maintaining the theoretical focus and structural integrity required by JAIS.

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.

A detailed guide for scholars submitting social history manuscripts to the Journal of Social History. It outlines the journal's specific scope—covering everyday life, class, gender, and marginalized experiences—and its high academic bar. It emphasizes the need for an original, argument-driven thesis with methodological self-consciousness, guiding authors on source analysis, historiographical positioning, and adherence to Chicago house style.

This comprehensive preflight checklist guides authors through the final steps before submitting a manuscript to the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology (JPSP). It ensures compliance with specific section requirements, including masking protocols, word/study caps, APA 7th formatting, and mandatory transparency disclosures (JARS/TOP Level 2). Use this guide to avoid common submission errors and ensure a clean, professional upload.

This skill acts as an expert orchestrator for authors submitting manuscripts to the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology (JPSP). It guides users through the complex publication lifecycle by first determining the correct specific section (ASC, IRGP, or PPID) and then routing them through the necessary developmental stages, including literature positioning, study design, data analysis, and writing style. It ensures the manuscript meets the criteria of a multi-study, long-format academic package.

A comprehensive workflow guide for authors facing Major/Minor Revisions (R&R) in academic journals. It details systematic steps for prioritizing feedback, particularly from Department and Associate Editors, strengthening empirical or analytical evidence, adhering to page constraints, and structuring a precise, point-by-point rebuttal letter while maintaining operational centrality.
