This skill guides authors through the crucial decision of selecting the correct JACS format (Article or Communication). It provides detailed strategies for rightsizing the manuscript, determining what essential evidence belongs in the main text, and what detailed data should be moved to the Supplementary Information (SI), ensuring compliance with rigorous journal norms.

This guide helps researchers rigorously evaluate their chemical findings against the high standards of flagship journals like JACS. It teaches how to assess both the 'Advance' (novelty and importance) and 'Breadth' (general applicability) of a discovery, ensuring the manuscript is pitched correctly to avoid subfield-only publications. It also advises on choosing the appropriate format (Article vs. Communication).

This comprehensive guide is designed for researchers planning submissions to highly specialized academic journals, such as JAIS. It provides a rigorous framework to test whether an Information Systems (IS) topic is theoretically load-bearing, how to select the precise manuscript category (e.g., Theory, Research Article, Literature Review), and how to frame the work to meet high academic standards. Essential for pre-submission planning.

This guide provides a structured checklist and framework for researchers to assess whether their clinical study meets the general-medical-importance bar of top-tier journals, such as JAMA. It helps authors determine if their findings are broadly relevant to practicing clinicians, if the evidence level is sufficient, and if the article type matches the journal's requirements, preventing premature submission.

This guide outlines the mandatory data and code deposit policy for articles published in the Journal of Applied Econometrics (JAE). Authors must submit a complete, non-confidential set of input data (plain ASCII/CSV), programs that replicate every result, and a detailed README file. It emphasizes strict adherence to archival format rules, ensuring the research is fully reproducible for the academic community.

This resource guides researchers through the rigorous criteria for publishing in the Journal of Applied Econometrics (JAE). It helps determine if a paper is sufficiently 'applied' (focusing on real data and economic questions) rather than purely theoretical. It outlines the necessity of replicability, the mandatory data archiving process, and the strategic choice between a standard Research Article and a Replication Article.

This comprehensive pre-submission checklist guides authors through the mandatory requirements for publishing in the Journal of Accounting Research (JAR). It covers critical areas such as double-anonymization protocols, tiered submission fee compliance, selecting the correct article type, and assembling the required data-and-code package, ensuring the manuscript meets high academic publishing standards before final submission.

This guide helps researchers properly structure graphical and CAD papers submitted to academic journals. It details the separation of core, 'decisive' evidence (main results, key figures) that must reside in the main text, versus 'extensive' supplementary materials (videos, extra data, full derivations). It emphasizes maintaining the self-sufficiency of the main article while ensuring all necessary evidence is presented.

This guide helps researchers assess if a corporate finance question is suitable for the Journal of Corporate Finance (JCF). It provides a framework to determine if the topic fits the journal's empirical or theoretical remit (e.g., governance, M&A, financial structure) and advises on the optimal article format (full-length vs. shorter paper). It serves as a critical self-check against common academic rejection pitfalls.

A guide for academic researchers to determine if a consumer phenomenon belongs in the Journal of Consumer Psychology (JCP) or a related journal (like JCR or JMR). It helps set the scope, confirm the psychological mechanism, and select the appropriate manuscript type (e.g., Research Report vs. full Article), ensuring the contribution is theory-driven and experimentally testable.

This guide details the critical 'proposal-first' approach for submitting survey articles to the Journal of Economic Literature (JEL). It walks authors through crafting a compelling ~10-page sketch, covering the required structure, from defining the field and animating question to outlining the organizing framework and provisional conclusions. Learn how to maximize your chances of securing a commission from the journal editor.

This framework guides researchers in determining if a candidate academic field meets the rigorous criteria—Maturity, Importance, Synthesis Need, and Tractable Scope—required for a major, comprehensive survey article suitable for high-impact journals like the Journal of Economic Literature (JEL). It helps writers move beyond mere topic ideas to frame a compelling, scholarly argument.
