Skill UI

This skill polishes academic review essays to match the authoritative, argument-forward voice required by top-tier journals (e.g., PiHG). It ensures the prose advances a central thesis rather than summarizing literature. Key functions include enforcing journal format constraints (e.g., SAGE Harvard referencing, short unstructured abstract), adhering to word count caps, and transforming descriptive text into a critical, synthetic intervention.

This skill guides authors on adapting philosophical arguments for public concern, specifically targeting venues like Philosophy & Public Affairs. It details the required academic rigor, scope (e.g., justice, bioethics, democracy), and structural elements needed for a manuscript to succeed. It serves as a fit check, helping authors sharpen their thesis, engage with opposing viewpoints, and maintain a strong connection between abstract theory and real-world public problems.

A comprehensive guide for crafting the PNAS-style scientific abstract. It details the required structure (single paragraph, ~250 words), the five-move narrative flow (Context, Gap, Approach, Results, Implication), and the critical distinction between the technical Abstract (What/How/Found) and the Significance Statement (Why it matters). Learn how to write accessible, quantified, and self-contained science summaries.

This guide teaches how to write the mandatory PNAS Significance Statement. It is a critical communication skill, requiring the author to distill complex scientific work into a short, non-technical paragraph (≤120 words). The goal is to explain the broader scientific importance and societal impact of the research to a broad, educated, non-specialist audience, distinctly different from the technical abstract.

This is a comprehensive, final preflight checklist designed for submitting scientific manuscripts to PNAS. It guides authors through every critical stage, including assessing broad significance, choosing the correct submission track, optimizing the abstract and significance statement, verifying data integrity, handling ethics approvals, and ensuring all required files and metadata are compliant. It acts as a single gatekeeper before submission.

This guide details the mandatory structure and best practices for submitting research articles to PNAS. It covers the proper order of sections (Title, Abstract, Introduction, Results, Discussion, etc.), how to manage length budgets, correctly place Materials and Methods within the main text, and ensure accurate Classification and keywords are chosen at submission.

A comprehensive guide for drafting scientific abstracts tailored for journals like PNAS Nexus. It details strict structural requirements, including maintaining a single paragraph format (max 250 words), ensuring self-containment, and presenting quantified results. Crucially, it distinguishes the abstract (What/How/Found) from the Significance Statement (Why it matters), helping authors polish their late-stage manuscripts for broad scientific audiences.

This guide teaches how to write a mandatory Significance Statement for scientific reports (like PNAS Nexus). Unlike an abstract, this statement must explain, in plain language, why the research matters to science and society—the 'so what?'. It adheres to strict length guidelines (50-120 words) and is written for a broad, non-specialist audience.

A comprehensive audit checklist for authors preparing submissions for top-tier academic conferences like PODC. This guide covers critical submission stages, including the two-step abstract registration, selecting the appropriate paper track (Regular vs. Brief Announcement), adhering to the 10-page merits rule, maintaining double-blind anonymity, and ensuring the mathematical rigor of the proof. Use this before final submission.

A comprehensive guide detailing the end-to-end annual workflow for submitting to an academic conference. This resource covers critical milestones, including abstract registration, full-paper submission, review notification, and camera-ready preparation. It emphasizes strategic planning—such as timing proof completion and deciding between paper tracks—to maximize the chances of successful publication.

A comprehensive project management guide for navigating the complex, multi-cycle academic submission process, such as for the PODS conference. It details backward-planning milestones, covering venue fit, abstract submission, full-paper drafting, rebuttal, revision rounds, and final arXiv publication. Ideal for authors managing theoretical research papers.

This comprehensive guide provides a detailed audit checklist for submitting research papers to the PPoPP conference. It covers crucial academic requirements, including adherence to the two-column ACM format, strict page limits, abstract guidelines, and maintaining double-blind anonymity by scrubbing identifying information (e.g., cluster names, grant numbers). Use this checklist before final submission to avoid desk-rejection.
