Skill UI

This router guides authors through the entire lifecycle of a manuscript submitted to the Journal of Business & Economic Statistics (JBES). It does not perform analysis, but rather diagnoses the current bottleneck—whether in topic selection, data analysis, or rebuttal—and directs the user to the appropriate specialized skill within the JBES workflow, ensuring the work maintains both methodological novelty and empirical relevance.

This framework guides authors in transforming raw empirical findings into compelling academic contributions suitable for top-tier finance journals. It teaches how to sharpen the focus from merely presenting 'better data' to articulating the underlying financial mechanism, institutional friction, or policy implication, ensuring the research answers the critical question of 'why it matters.'

This comprehensive guide assists authors in navigating the critical steps after manuscript acceptance in academic journals, particularly in CAD and Graphics. It covers de-anonymization (adding acknowledgments, funding, and real links), meticulous formatting checks, ensuring high print quality (resolution, color fidelity), rigorous proofreading protocols, and managing copyright requirements to ensure a smooth transition to final publication.

This guide provides a comprehensive checklist and style manual for authors submitting papers to the Journal of Computer-Aided Design & Computer Graphics (JCAD&CG). It covers all necessary formatting details, including the four elements of a reportative abstract, the problem-gap-contribution structure, adherence to GB/T 7714 citation standards, and specific rules for graphical evidence presentation in CAD and graphics research.

This guide helps authors sharpen the stated contribution of an academic manuscript, particularly in corporate finance. It instructs users on how to transform research findings into a crisp, compelling claim that clearly states 'what is new and why it matters.' It is essential for drafting abstracts, introductions, and cover letters to maximize the chance of passing an editor's initial screening.

A comprehensive guide for academic authors on how to precisely position their research within the specialized field of corporate finance. It teaches how to identify the specific theoretical 'strand' (e.g., capital structure, governance, M&A) and articulate a clear, marginal contribution by contrasting the work against 2-3 closest existing papers, thereby transforming vague claims into rigorous academic arguments.

A comprehensive preflight checklist for submitting manuscripts to the Journal of Corporate Finance (JCF) via Editorial Manager. This guide verifies critical elements such as the non-refundable submission fee ($340), adherence to formatting rules (e.g., ≤250-word abstract, author-date citations), and inclusion of mandatory declarations (e.g., CoI, generative-AI disclosure, Option C data statement). Use this before finalizing your submission to ensure compliance and minimize desk rejection risks.

This guide helps researchers assess if a corporate finance question is suitable for the Journal of Corporate Finance (JCF). It provides a framework to determine if the topic fits the journal's empirical or theoretical remit (e.g., governance, M&A, financial structure) and advises on the optimal article format (full-length vs. shorter paper). It serves as a critical self-check against common academic rejection pitfalls.

A comprehensive guide for structuring and writing rebuttal letters when responding to major revisions (R&R) for top-tier academic journals. It teaches how to transform reviewer concerns into new empirical studies, structure point-by-point responses, and professionally argue a mechanism using evidence rather than rhetoric.

This guide details advanced best practices for creating publication-ready, APA-formatted tables and figures for academic research, particularly in behavioral sciences. It moves beyond simply presenting numbers, focusing instead on visualizing the underlying research mechanism, such as mediation paths, moderated effects, and multi-study comparisons. Mastery ensures rigor and clarity for top-tier submissions.

This comprehensive guide serves as the final preflight checklist for authors submitting manuscripts to the Journal of Consumer Research (JCR). It ensures strict compliance with complex academic publishing standards, including double-anonymization procedures, adherence to specific length caps (e.g., 60 pages), word count limits for abstracts and contribution statements, and modern data transparency reporting (Step-6). It is essential for maximizing submission readiness and avoiding common formatting pitfalls.

This comprehensive guide polishes academic manuscripts specifically for submission to a Journal of Consumer Research (JCR). It teaches authors to reformat their prose to lead with consumer insights rather than methods, ensuring the text is legible to a broad, interdisciplinary audience. It also enforces adherence to specific academic standards, including Chicago house style, managing the abstract length (≤200 words), and proper double anonymization techniques.
