A comprehensive guide for structuring rigorous academic research in management studies. It helps researchers align theoretical claims (causal, exploratory, mechanism testing) with appropriate methods—including qualitative, quantitative, and multi-method designs. The guide covers advanced topics such as addressing common-method bias, endogeneity, and cross-level analysis, ensuring methodological rigor for top-tier publications.

A guide for integrating behavioral theory into rigorous empirical studies. It outlines the necessary steps to move beyond descriptive findings of irrationality by constructing a statistically identifiable behavioral model (e.g., incorporating loss aversion parameters) and testing it against rational baselines using controlled, incentive-compatible experimental designs. Essential for submitting papers requiring model explanation of behavioral biases.

A comprehensive guide for designing and presenting rigorous experiments for submissions to the Journal of Software (JOS). It guides users through setting clear Research Questions (RQ), selecting real-world datasets and baselines, applying advanced statistical testing (effect size, significance), conducting ablation studies, and addressing threats to validity (internal, external, conceptual). This ensures the evidence strongly supports the claims, meeting top-tier academic standards.

A comprehensive guide for authors submitting financial econometrics papers. This skill helps determine if a manuscript is suitable for journals like the Journal of Empirical Finance (JEF). It guides authors on framing the core contribution—whether it lies in the empirical method, measurement, or careful evaluation—and details necessary rigor, such as out-of-sample testing, proper inference, and adherence to house style.

A guide for advanced data analysis in policy evaluation, extending beyond standard causal estimates. It emphasizes rigorous reporting of cost-benefit ratios, distributional consequences (who gains and who pays), robust heterogeneity testing, and honest uncertainty quantification necessary for high-level policy academic journals. Essential for turning effect sizes into decision-relevant policy narratives.

A comprehensive guide for strengthening empirical causal claims for top-tier economics journals. This framework teaches how to move beyond simple OLS regressions by rigorously testing for causal identification (e.g., DID, IV, RDD) and, crucially, mapping the statistical estimate back to a meaningful economic parameter or mechanism. It emphasizes the dual requirement of credible identification and deep economic interpretability.

This guide provides an advanced framework for conducting rigorous causal inference and policy evaluation, essential for academic journals. It covers state-of-the-art methods including DiD, RDD, Synthetic Control, and experimental analysis. The core focus is moving beyond simple p-values to estimate effect magnitudes in tangible 'decision units' (e.g., dollars per household, percentage points). It mandates comprehensive stress-testing, including pre-trend checks, placebo outcomes, and detailed subgroup heterogeneity analysis, ensuring results are immediately actionable by regulators.

A detailed guide on establishing and reporting the necessary robustness and sensitivity analyses for manuscripts in quantitative economics and econometrics. It clarifies that the required robustness differs significantly from causal inference studies, emphasizing testing against variations in method choice, parameters, data scope, and sample periods. Provides structured methodologies for generating sensitivity matrices and discussing model stability.

This advanced analytical skill focuses on rigorously identifying and testing the specific transmission channels through which external shocks affect an economy. Essential for high-impact international economics research, it moves beyond descriptive mechanism narratives by focusing on testable proxies across trade, investment, finance, and expectation channels. It requires advanced econometrics (e.g., mediation analysis, sample splitting) and careful identification strategy to ensure causal claims are robust.

This skill guides researchers in refining broad philosophical topics into sharply focused, significant, and defensible theses. It teaches the rigorous process of ensuring a proposed project meets high academic standards—specifically requiring a clear, debatable claim, relevance to live debates, and scope manageable within a defined length. Use this to pressure-test your ideas before committing to writing.

Provides a comprehensive methodology for evaluating mobile computing systems. It mandates rigorous, real-device testing, focusing on instrumenting energy consumption, thermal behavior, latency distribution (tails), and memory limits. This guide ensures academic submissions are credible, repeatable, and compare performance against robust, tuned baselines.

A comprehensive academic guide for validating survey instruments. This resource details required standards for reliability (Cronbach's α, Composite Reliability), validity (AVE, Fornell-Larcker, HTMT), and diagnosing common method bias (CMV) in self-report studies. It outlines best practices for cross-cultural adaptation, pre-testing, and advanced statistical reporting necessary for high-impact academic publications.
