A comprehensive guide for authors preparing medical manuscripts for high-impact journals. It outlines rigorous standards for statistical reporting, emphasizing the use of effect sizes with 95% Confidence Intervals (CIs) over p-values alone. Key topics include pre-specification, intention-to-treat analysis, multiplicity control, handling missing data through imputation, and reporting both relative and absolute effects to ensure maximum statistical rigor and reproducibility.

A comprehensive guide for authors handling a journal's revise-and-resubmit (R&R) decision. It outlines the critical sequence: prioritizing new analyses (identification, channel, measurement) over writing, triaging referee concerns (first-order vs. second-order), drafting evidence-backed responses, and updating the complete data-and-code package. Essential for quantitative researchers aiming for publication.

A comprehensive guide for authors submitting to the Journal of Corporate Finance (JCF). It details how to comply with Elsevier's Option C data availability requirements, focusing on drafting the data availability statement and structuring the research archive. It provides best practices for handling licensed, proprietary data (e.g., Compustat, CRSP) by recommending the sharing of construction code and access instructions, rather than raw data deposits.

A comprehensive guide for conducting rigorous empirical analysis on field and survey data in low- and middle-income settings. It covers advanced methods for handling clustered sampling, measurement error, differential attrition, and treatment-effect heterogeneity, ensuring results meet the high standards of reproducibility and robustness required by leading developmental economics journals.

A comprehensive guide detailing the mandatory replication and data policy required by journals like JDE. It outlines how to build a self-contained, reproducible package containing master scripts, documented data provenance, pinned environments, and strategies for handling restricted or proprietary data, ensuring readiness for review and acceptance.

This comprehensive preflight checklist guides authors through the rigorous submission process for the Journal of the European Economic Association (JEEA). It ensures compliance with specific academic standards, including single-blind review format, mandatory data availability declarations (DCAS), handling of supplemental materials, and adherence to current membership and fee requirements. Use this guide before finalizing your submission to avoid administrative rejections.

A comprehensive framework designed to ensure environmental economics manuscripts meet rigorous data-availability and reproducibility standards, especially for journals like JEEM. This package guides users to document the entire research pipeline, handling complex issues like data versioning, proprietary satellite/admin data, and multi-step spatial operations by establishing a credible end-to-end reproduction path.

This comprehensive guide details how to build a robust, credible, and shareable replication package for a Journal of Economic Geography (JEG) manuscript. It focuses heavily on documenting spatial data provenance, handling version control for boundaries and projections, and scripting complex spatial joins to preempt reproducibility concerns, even though JEG's policy is post-acceptance.

This comprehensive guide assists in executing and documenting rigorous empirical finance research, tailored for top-tier journals like JFQA. It covers the entire pipeline, including complex financial data construction (CRSP, Compustat), advanced data cleaning (winsorizing, outlier handling), and sophisticated econometrics (fixed effects, clustered standard errors, Fama-MacBeth). The core focus is achieving absolute reproducibility, ensuring that all filters, robustness checks, and analytical steps are meticulously documented for archival and peer review.

This guide provides a comprehensive framework for conducting rigorous cross-national data analysis, essential for academic research in international business. It covers critical advanced statistical methods like Measurement Invariance Testing (MGCFA), Multilevel Modeling (HLM), and Multi-Group SEM. It instructs users on handling cross-level moderation, interpreting country-level effects, and ensuring results are statistically auditable across complex data structures (e.g., panels, dyads).

A comprehensive methodology guide for designing rigorous multi-country or cross-cultural studies, essential for international marketing research. It covers critical steps such as country selection criteria, ensuring construct, translation, and sampling equivalence, and planning for measurement invariance (MGCFA). It guides researchers through advanced designs including cross-cultural experiments, multi-level estimation, and handling secondary export/entry-mode data.

A comprehensive guide to constructing rigorous empirical datasets for academic papers in finance and banking. It covers best practices for handling complex data sources (e.g., bank micro-data, central bank reports, macro series), addressing measurement biases, and ensuring full replicability, adhering to the standards of top-tier economic journals. Focus areas include merger tracking, regime transitions, and variable definition consistency.
