Skill UI

This skill acts as the central orchestrator for writing and submitting manuscripts to the Journal of the American Academy of Religion (JAAR). It guides authors through the entire writing lifecycle, emphasizing the critical 'reframing test' to ensure the work addresses issues of broad, fundamental interest to the study of religion, rather than remaining confined to a narrow subfield. It provides a structured path from initial idea generation to final submission and revision.

This guide helps authors determine if their chemistry manuscript meets the high standards of JACS Au. It evaluates the scope, required scientific rigor, evidence completeness, and structural requirements for submission to this highly selective, gold open-access journal.

A comprehensive guide for structuring and drafting the editor-facing cover letter when submitting a manuscript to the Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS). It instructs authors on how to clearly articulate the research advance, broad intellectual interest, and suitability (fit) for the journal, serving as a strategic pitch rather than a repetition of the abstract.

A comprehensive guide detailing the stringent standards and best practices for creating high-quality scientific figures for chemistry journals, specifically following the guidelines of the Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS). Covers everything from reaction schemes and mechanism diagrams to NMR/IR spectra, crystal structures, and creating impactful Table of Contents (TOC) graphics, ensuring clarity, consistency, and adherence to academic publishing conventions.

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 provides a comprehensive checklist for auditing experimental rigor in chemical manuscripts, particularly for high-impact journals like JACS. It covers necessary characterization data for new compounds, including NMR, HRMS, elemental analysis, and stereochemistry, and ensures mechanisms and catalytic claims are fully supported by appropriate controls and data.

A comprehensive guide for authors submitting to top-tier chemistry journals like JACS. This skill helps authors pre-empt reviewer objections, select appropriate suggested and excluded experts, and rigorously stress-test the manuscript's scope, characterization, and mechanistic claims before formal submission. It transforms the writing process into a defensible, high-quality academic product.

This skill guides authors in transforming raw experimental data into a compelling, logically structured scientific narrative suitable for top-tier journals like JACS. It teaches how to explicitly define the 'chemical advance' by building an evidence-backed claim chain: Problem $ ightarrow$ Advance $ ightarrow$ Evidence $ ightarrow$ Significance. It ensures that every claim of novelty is rigorously supported by data and compares the work explicitly against the closest prior art.

A comprehensive guide for authors responding to journal reviewers' reports (e.g., JACS). It details how to systematically triage comments into data-required, clarification, or disagreement; how to structure a professional, point-by-point response letter; and how to maintain scientific rigor when performing necessary experiments.

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 checklist guides authors through the final mechanical and structural gatekeeping phase before submitting a scientific manuscript to top-tier journals (e.g., JACS). It ensures all required elements—including supporting information, crystal structure files (CIFs), complex formatting, and ethical disclosures—are correctly prepared, significantly reducing the risk of immediate rejection or revision requests due to procedural errors.

This comprehensive guide helps authors assemble and audit the Supporting Information (SI) for a Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS) manuscript. It ensures every reported chemical result and structure is fully reproducible by an independent chemist, covering detailed procedures, full characterization data (NMR, HRMS, IR), stereochemistry, and crystallographic details (CIF/CCDC).
