A comprehensive guide detailing the academic submission and review process for the Journal of the Academy of Marketing Science (JAMS). Learn about the double-anonymization, the developmental review philosophy, the dual evaluation criteria (theoretical and managerial contribution), and how to interpret complex decision letters (Desk Reject, Major Revision, etc.) to successfully frame your research.

This guide helps authors structure and sharpen the core contribution of an empirical paper for applied econometrics journals. It emphasizes shifting focus from pure theory to replicable findings derived from real data, ensuring claims are properly calibrated, and optimizing the 100-word summary for maximum impact.

This guide helps researchers structure the literature review for applied econometrics papers targeting the Journal of Applied Econometrics (JAE). It emphasizes moving beyond simple literature surveys by creating an "empirical audit trail." Users must position their work across method lineage, applied precedent, and engagement with the journal's archived data and prior replicable results, ensuring the contribution is an advance through application or replication.

This guide provides a structured methodology for academic researchers writing for top-tier journals (like JAR). It teaches how to move beyond merely stating empirical results to clearly articulating the specific, novel, and economically consequential contribution of the research. It emphasizes identifying the causal mechanism, the relative increment over prior work, and the broader theoretical or practical implications for the accounting field.

A guide for authors on strategically positioning their academic manuscript within specialized fields, particularly accounting and finance. It teaches how to move beyond simply identifying a 'gap' to joining a specific academic 'conversation.' The guide emphasizes stating the marginal contribution relative to the closest prior work and justifying the submission venue (e.g., JAR vs. JAE).

This tool guides researchers through the critical initial phase of academic manuscript preparation. It tests whether a research question has genuine accounting relevance, a credible source of identifying variation (e.g., policy shock, rule change), clear economic stakes, and sufficient marginal contribution for top-tier accounting journals like JAR. It serves as a methodological fit check before any data collection begins.

A structured guide for academic authors to sharpen the core methodological contribution of statistics or econometrics papers. It ensures the claim explicitly links a novel method (methodological delta) to a demonstrable practical application (empirical consequence), avoiding overly theoretical or purely descriptive arguments.

This guide provides a structured protocol for authors writing methods papers in statistics or econometrics. It teaches how to define the precise 'delta' (incremental contribution) of a new method by explicitly referencing 3-6 existing state-of-the-art techniques. It emphasizes positioning the work across both traditional econometric theory and modern machine learning/data science literature, ensuring the contribution is clearly stated against named prior methods, not as a general survey.

This tool guides users through the rigorous scope requirements for submitting research to the Journal of Business & Economic Statistics (JBES). It ensures that a project possesses both methodological novelty and clear empirical relevance, particularly in microeconomics, macroeconomics, business, and finance. It serves as a critical sanity check, preventing submissions that are purely theoretical or purely applied without methodological contribution.

This framework guides authors in transforming raw empirical findings into compelling academic contributions suitable for top-tier finance journals. It teaches how to sharpen the focus from merely presenting 'better data' to articulating the underlying financial mechanism, institutional friction, or policy implication, ensuring the research answers the critical question of 'why it matters.'

A comprehensive guide for authors on how to structure the literature review and introduction of academic papers, especially in banking and finance. It teaches how to precisely identify and articulate a unique contribution ('delta') relative to the closest existing literature, ensuring the paper is seen as a specialized advancement rather than a generic survey.

This guide helps authors structure and explicitly articulate the theoretical contribution of their work, specifically tailored for high-impact journals like the Journal of Business Venturing (JBV). It teaches how to move beyond mere empirical findings to define the theoretical shift, challenge existing assumptions, and specify critical boundary conditions for the entrepreneurial phenomenon.
