This comprehensive skill guides authors through evaluating whether their chemistry manuscript meets the high standards for ACS Central Science. It assesses the work's central importance, broad scientific reach, and technical rigor across chemical subfields and adjacent disciplines (e.g., biology, materials, energy). It covers journal positioning, required evidence standards, structural guidelines, and reframing the narrative for maximum impact.

A comprehensive guide for structuring high-impact scientific papers in advanced materials. It teaches authors how to build a cohesive narrative around a single central scientific advance, emphasizing the crucial causal chain: Structure → Property → Function. It also provides rules for optimizing the opening paragraph to serve as a self-contained abstract.

A comprehensive guide for academic researchers detailing how to structure and write a precise, point-by-point rebuttal letter following a major journal's Request for Revision (R&R). It covers addressing referee concerns regarding proof correctness, theoretical generality, and scope, ensuring the revision plan is rigorous and addresses the editor's central concerns.

This skill acts as a central workflow router for manuscripts targeting the American Economic Journal: Economic Policy (AEJ: Policy). It diagnoses the current stage of a paper—whether it's topic selection, design, modeling, writing, or rebuttal—and recommends the next specialized skill. It ensures the research maintains a strong focus on credible causal evidence and actionable policy implications.

This skill guides researchers on how to triage numerous robustness checks for short-format academic manuscripts (e.g., AER: Insights) constrained by word and exhibit limits. It teaches the 'minimum credible set' approach: identifying the 1-2 core checks that defend the central hypothesis for the main text, while systematically moving all supplementary checks to the Appendix and properly signposting them in one sentence to maintain credibility.

This skill guides authors on condensing complex empirical research findings (tables and figures) to meet the strict formatting constraints of top academic journals like AER: Insights. It enforces a maximum of five one-page exhibits, teaches authors how to select the headline result, central diagnostics, and mechanism, and ensures adherence to specific house styles, such as reporting standard errors instead of significance asterisks, while managing word count budgets.

This skill serves as the central workflow router for manuscripts submitted to the American Journal of Sociology (AJS). It guides authors through the entire academic lifecycle, from initial topic selection and theoretical framing to research design, data analysis, and final submission/rebuttal. It helps authors determine the appropriate next step based on the manuscript type (research article, comment, reply) and current stage, ensuring the work meets AJS's high standard for theoretical ambition and sociological dialogue.

A comprehensive guide for authors preparing submissions to the Academy of Management Annals. This checklist ensures you meet all rigorous requirements for both proposal and invited full review routes, covering formatting, anonymity, deadlines, and required headings. Use this before uploading to Manuscript Central.

This tool serves as the central entry point and orchestrator for drafting an American Political Science Review (APSR) manuscript. It guides authors through the complex academic publishing lifecycle by determining the paper's specific track (e.g., Regular Article, Synthesis, Registered Report) and its current developmental stage (e.g., Idea, Theory, Data Analysis). It does not draft content; rather, it routes the user to the most relevant sub-skill for the next step in the writing process.

This framework guides researchers on how to elevate an academic literature review from a mere annotated bibliography into a cohesive, argumentative piece. It teaches authors to impose a central 'spine'—such as a taxonomy, causal mechanism, or set of analytical levels—to structure the subfield's existing work, thereby generating new insights and defining the field's future agenda. Essential for advanced academic writing and synthesizing large bodies of research.

This workflow router serves as the central orchestrator for academic articles submitted to art history journals. It guides authors through the complex, multi-stage publishing lifecycle, from initial topic selection and scholarly positioning to visual analysis, evidence gathering, and final submission. Crucially, it proactively manages the often-overlooked and time-consuming process of image rights and permissions, ensuring authors do not delay this critical step until the end.

This guide details how to read, interpret, and synthesize artifacts from the central shared workspace, known as the 'bench.' It provides a structured approach to gathering findings, reports, and assessments left by various modules (desks). Use this skill to build comprehensive context, understand cross-desk dependencies, and summarize complex information for an operator.
