A comprehensive guide for authors submitting papers to web conferences. It details how to structure empirical claims, ensuring evidence matches the claim's scope (scale, freshness, generalizability). The guide covers avoiding methodological flaws like temporal or popularity leakage, selecting datasets with proper provenance, and performing rigorous ablations and statistical analysis for maximum academic rigor.

This skill provides comprehensive norms for executing and reporting robust, reproducible data analysis in comparative, cross-national, or formal-empirical studies. It guides authors on honestly reporting uncertainty, ensuring statistical robustness, performing rigorous cross-national inference, and integrating qualitative evidence through triangulation to meet the demanding standards of top academic journals.

This guide helps scholars rigorously defend the methodological design of academic papers, particularly in International Relations and Comparative Politics. It covers advanced techniques such as process tracing, case selection logic, quantitative cross-national panel data analysis (DID, IV, RDD), and experimental design. Its core purpose is to strengthen causal claims by explicitly addressing selection bias, defining scope conditions, and ruling out major rival explanations.

This tool acts as the central orchestrator for academic manuscripts submitted to World Politics. It guides authors through the entire scholarly writing lifecycle, determining the correct article type (research vs. review), verifying the scope (must cross cases in comparative politics/IR), and routing the project to the appropriate specialized writing skills (e.g., theory building, data analysis, literature positioning). It ensures the work maintains a big, comparative, and international scope.

This skill helps users determine which marketing efforts truly drive conversions and revenue. It covers interpreting various attribution models (First-touch, Last-touch, Data-driven) and reconciling conflicting data reported by multiple marketing tools. It also guides users on implementing first-party, self-hosted attribution tracking when they own the site or app.

Astropy is the essential Python package for astronomical research and data analysis. It provides a comprehensive suite of tools for handling celestial coordinate transformations (e.g., ICRS, Galactic), managing physical units and quantities, processing FITS files, performing complex cosmological calculations, and ensuring precise time handling. It is indispensable for any project involving scientific data in the field of astronomy and astrophysics.

Biopython is a comprehensive Python library designed for computational molecular biology. It provides robust tools for handling biological sequences (DNA, RNA, Protein), structural analysis (PDB), sequence alignment, phylogenetic tree construction, and interfacing with major public databases like NCBI (Entrez). Ideal for researchers performing advanced bioinformatics tasks.

Exa MCP provides advanced neural search capabilities across the web, specialized code repositories (like GitHub), and corporate/personnel databases. Use it for deep background research, finding the latest news, debugging complex code patterns, or conducting thorough market and competitor analysis.

NetworkX is a powerful Python package designed for creating, manipulating, and analyzing complex networks and graphs. It supports various graph types (Directed, Undirected, MultiGraphs) and provides extensive functionality for graph algorithms, including shortest path calculation, centrality measures (like PageRank), community detection, and connectivity checks. Users can generate synthetic networks, read/write data from multiple formats (GraphML, CSV, Pandas), and visualize results using Matplotlib. Ideal for social network analysis, biological research, and system modeling.

Scanpy is a powerful, scalable Python toolkit built on AnnData for comprehensive single-cell RNA-seq data analysis. It supports the complete biological workflow, including quality control, normalization, dimensionality reduction (PCA, UMAP, t-SNE), clustering, marker gene identification, and sophisticated cell type annotation, enabling the generation of publication-quality figures.

This skill provides a comprehensive, reproducible rubric for evaluating scholarly and scientific work. It covers nine critical dimensions—including problem statement, methodology, data evidence, analysis rigor, and citation quality—making it ideal for reviewing research papers, grant proposals, literature reviews, and academic theses. Use it to provide structured, actionable, and professional feedback to enhance scholarly output.

Seaborn is a high-level Python visualization library designed for creating publication-quality statistical graphics. It facilitates dataset-oriented plotting, multivariate analysis, and complex statistical visualizations (like KDEs, distributions, and relationships) directly from Pandas DataFrames with minimal code. It builds upon Matplotlib to provide semantic mapping and statistical awareness.
