Skill UI

This skill acts as a comprehensive workflow router for authors preparing a survey or review article for the Journal of Economic Literature (JEL). It guides users through the entire academic writing lifecycle, from initial topic selection and proposing the scope to systematic literature synthesis, structuring the argument, and handling revisions based on editor/referee feedback. It ensures the output is a scholarly synthesis, not a primary research paper.

This tool helps refine academic survey articles to adopt the authoritative and accessible "JEL voice." It focuses on improving prose structure, ensuring the narrative flows for non-specialist economists, and structuring the introduction and abstract according to academic conventions. It transforms summary writing into synthesis dialogue, making complex topics engaging for a broad audience.

Provides a structured workflow for revising academic manuscripts based on feedback from the Journal of Economic Perspectives (JEP) editor. This guide focuses on improving accessibility, narrative balance, framing, and overall structure for a broad, non-specialist audience. It helps authors plan the revisions and draft a professional, collaborative reply letter to the editorial team.

This router guides authors through the entire process of developing a compelling, non-technical synthesis article for a broad audience, specifically for the Journal of Economic Perspectives (JEP). It determines the optimal next skill to use—whether focusing on topic selection, narrative structure, improving accessibility, ensuring balance, or drafting the initial proposal—ensuring the final product reads as an accessible essay rather than a specialized research paper.

A comprehensive guide for creating rigorous, schematic exhibits (figures and tables) for highly theoretical journals, such as the Journal of Economic Theory (JET). Focuses on best practices for visualizing concepts like best-response diagrams, phase spaces, lattices, and information flows using vector graphics (TikZ/PDF), ensuring strict adherence to published notation and maximizing proof clarity.

A comprehensive workflow router designed for authors submitting highly theoretical manuscripts to the Journal of Economic Theory (JET). It guides users through the entire academic lifecycle—from initial scope assessment and theoretical positioning to drafting, revision (R&R), and final submission. It emphasizes adherence to JET's strict theory-first standards, ensuring every step reduces potential desk or referee risk.

This workflow router guides users through the entire end-to-end process of developing and submitting a high-stakes academic manuscript to The Journal of Finance (JF). It outlines the necessary sequence of steps—from initial topic selection and literature positioning to empirical design, robustness checks, and final rebuttal strategy—ensuring the paper meets the rigorous standards of top-tier finance publications.

This router guides authors through the comprehensive, step-by-step workflow required for submitting a high-quality empirical paper to the Journal of Financial Economics (JFE). It helps diagnose bottlenecks—from vague topic selection and weak identification to robustness testing and final rebuttal writing—ensuring methodological rigor and structural completeness.

This workflow router guides authors through the complex lifecycle of submitting a paper to the Journal of Financial Intermediation (JFI). It coordinates the entire academic writing process, determining the optimal sequence of skills based on whether the contribution is theory-led or empirics-led. It is designed to help authors structure their research, focusing on methodological rigor (e.g., Gate B checks) before drafting the final prose.

This guide helps academics determine if their research contribution is fundamentally about market microstructure—such as order flow, liquidity, price impact, or trading mechanisms—making it suitable for the Journal of Financial Markets (JFM). It provides a rigorous 'mechanism question' test to distinguish between microstructural findings and broader corporate or asset pricing issues.

This router guides researchers through the entire lifecycle of a manuscript submitted to the Journal of Financial Markets (JFM). It provides a structured sequence of skills, from topic selection and literature positioning to empirical design, robustness checking, and rebuttal preparation. It ensures the focus remains strictly on market microstructure mechanisms, preventing common pitfalls like over-reliance on corporate finance models.

This skill guides authors through the rigorous, multi-stage submission process for the Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis (JFQA). It acts as a detailed router, providing the necessary next steps—from topic selection and identifying credible design (DID, IV, RDD) to structuring the contribution, managing data archives, and preparing the rebuttal. It ensures manuscripts meet the high quantitative and academic standards required by this top-tier finance journal.
