Comprehensive guide detailing the end-to-end academic submission workflow for the WACV conference. This specialized workflow accounts for the two-round submission model, including key branching points like Round 1 reviews, optional rebuttals, Revise-and-Resubmit stages, Round 2 revisions, and final camera-ready preparation, which single-deadline plans often miss.

A comprehensive guide to structuring and writing academic papers for WACV, focusing on maximizing acceptance rates. It details the critical differences between writing for 'Applications' vs. 'Algorithms' tracks, ensuring the first page immediately captures reviewer attention. Key advice includes adhering to the strict 8-page budget, making figures self-contained, scoping all claims precisely, and moving excessive detail to supplements.

This comprehensive guide is designed for authors submitting manuscripts in water science or engineering. It details the high standards, scope, and expected rigor for the flagship journal, Water Research. It covers the necessary depth of mechanistic or methodological advances, strict experimental design requirements (including mass balances and controls), and the IMRaD structure required for publication.

This comprehensive guide helps authors evaluate if their hydrology or water-science manuscript is a suitable fit for the Water Resources Research journal. It mandates that contributions must be quantitative, generalizable advances, not single-basin case studies. The tool emphasizes rigorous benchmarking, adherence to AGU house styles, and compliance with open data/code deposition policies.

A rigorous checklist and guide for conducting causal inference in development economics, specifically tailored to the high standards of top-tier journals like The World Bank Economic Review (WBER). It covers advanced econometric designs (RCT, DiD, RD, IV), focusing not just on estimation but on defining the estimand, addressing external validity, general equilibrium effects, and translating local findings into actionable policy recommendations.

A comprehensive guide for researchers on how to effectively position academic contributions, particularly for top-tier development economics journals. It instructs users to move beyond merely stating a research topic (e.g., 'first to study X in Y') by framing their findings as generalizable claims about underlying mechanisms or quantitative gaps. Key focus areas include linking academic gaps to active development policy debates and strategically distinguishing the work from similar fields like JDE or World Development.

A comprehensive guide for researchers handling academic revisions after receiving a journal decision letter (R&R). It teaches how to triage critical feedback from multiple referees, prioritize the editor's synthesis, structure detailed point-by-point responses using quantitative evidence, and sequence the revision work to maximize the chances of publication.

A comprehensive strategy guide for submitting academic papers to The World Bank Economic Review (WBER). It teaches researchers how to anticipate and preempt common criticisms from development-economics referees (identification flaws, policy relevance, data quality) and how to structure the cover letter to maximize acceptance chances.

This guide provides a structured framework for conducting and presenting robust checks in econometric manuscripts, particularly relevant for studies using developing-country data. It moves beyond simple appendix dumping by organizing tests around potential identification threats and specific data-quality risks (e.g., measurement error, coverage gaps). It helps ensure the core findings are load-bearing against sophisticated academic scrutiny.

A comprehensive guide for submitting manuscripts to The World Bank Economic Review (WBER). It covers critical pre-submission checks, including adherence to the 40-page limit, single-anonymization rules, required data availability statements with DOIs, and correct formatting (PDF, double-spaced, Times New Roman). Use this checklist before submitting via ManuscriptCentral to ensure your paper meets the journal's strict formatting and policy requirements, minimizing the risk of immediate return.

Provides comprehensive guidelines for designing and auditing academic tables and figures, specifically for development economics journals. It teaches how to translate statistical coefficients into actionable policy magnitudes, validate research design (e.g., balance checks, pre-trends), and adhere to strict page limits while maintaining clarity for both economists and policymakers.

This guide provides a comprehensive framework for authors writing for development economics journals, specifically addressing the need to bridge the gap between rigorous econometric analysis and actionable policy advice. It teaches how to structure introductions, write concise abstracts, and frame findings by emphasizing policy magnitudes over statistical significance, ensuring the work speaks to both technical economists and non-specialist policymakers.
