Provides a comprehensive guide to the rigorous editorial standards and submission protocols for the Review of Finance. It covers double-blind review requirements, the two-round decision philosophy, common desk screening patterns, and critical timing expectations (Regular vs. Fast-Track). This resource is essential for authors aiming to publish in top-tier finance journals by adhering strictly to academic integrity and compliance rules.

This comprehensive preflight checklist guides authors through the mandatory submission process for the Review of Finance (RoF). It covers crucial details including fee structures (Regular vs. Fast-Track), manuscript length (60-page cap), abstract word limits, formatting standards, double-blind anonymity requirements, Chicago citation style, and necessary ethical disclosures. Use this guide before uploading to prevent desk rejection.

This guide provides comprehensive best practices for structuring tables and figures (exhibits) in empirical finance papers. It addresses the strict 60-page journal limit, advising authors on how to present core findings, identify mechanisms, and display robustness evidence while maintaining readability. Learn how to move mechanical grids to appendices, focus the main body, and ensure every visual element is self-contained and highly interpretable for top-tier referees.

This guide provides comprehensive style and revision rules for manuscripts submitted to top-tier finance journals, such as the Review of Finance (RoF). It helps authors transform their research into highly polished, general-finance readable prose, focusing on structuring the abstract (under 150 words), adhering to double-blind anonymity, maintaining Chicago citation style, and meeting strict length constraints (e.g., 60-page cap). Use this when your core results are stable and you are polishing the final draft for publication.

A comprehensive guide for packaging robotic research artifacts (code, policies, ledgers, hardware specs) for peer review and public release. It details the necessary steps to ensure maximum reproducibility, auditability, and permanence, covering both anonymous review-time evidence and citable public repositories.

This guide provides a highly strategic protocol for drafting the single-page rebuttal memo required for top-tier academic conferences, such as RSS. It teaches authors how to tailor their response for the Area Chair (AC), focusing on maximum impact with minimal words. Key strategies include prioritizing critical objections, citing evidence using coordinates (e.g., Table 3, row 4), and making controlled scope concessions rather than re-running experiments or thanking reviewers extensively. This maximizes the chances of influencing the final review decision.

A comprehensive guide detailing the process of transforming an anonymous, accepted academic paper into its final, public camera-ready version. Covers de-anonymization, restoring full author affiliations, adding external links, generating DOIs, and preparing for a full conference presentation.

A rigorous framework for designing reproducible and scientifically sound experiments in robotics and AI, specifically for academic publication (e.g., RSS). It guides users to shift focus from simple system demonstration to testing a falsifiable scientific claim. Key areas covered include deriving conditions from a claim, establishing hardware trial protocols, managing simulation vs. real-world evidence splits, and performing detailed failure attribution analysis.

A comprehensive guide for ensuring robust scientific reproducibility in robotics research (RSS). It structures evidence into distinct 'Replication Tiers' (e.g., Rerunnable, Auditable), distinguishing between the computational half (code, seeds) and the physical half (robot, environment, human protocol). It mandates the use of platform ledgers and raw trial logs to convert claims of trust into verifiable, auditable evidence.

A comprehensive guide detailing the highly structured, multi-stage peer review process used by top-tier robotics conferences (such as RSS). It covers the mechanics from double-blind submission and threshold gating to the role of the Area Chair. Learn how to structure your arguments, write compelling rebuttals, and summarize findings to maximize acceptance chances in highly selective academic venues.

A comprehensive, final-stage audit guide for submitting papers to highly selective robotics conferences like RSS. It details the multi-stage deadline cascade, adherence to strict double-blind review rules, self-containment standards, and formatting requirements to maximize acceptance chances.

This guide details the best practices for structuring supplementary materials for scientific conferences, ensuring the main paper remains self-contained. It covers transforming raw data, failure logs, and robotic videos into credible evidence annexes. Key areas include anonymization of media, maintaining archive hygiene, and structuring appendices to deepen belief without being mandatory for understanding the core claims.
