This skill provides a comprehensive framework for evaluating whether a clinical medicine or global-health manuscript is suitable for publication in The Lancet. It guides authors on refining the manuscript's framing, ensuring methodological rigor (e.g., PRISMA, STROBE), and adhering to the journal's specific house style and high editorial standards related to global health and health equity.

A comprehensive guide for authors navigating the submission process for Trends in Cognitive Sciences (TiCS). This resource details the journal's specific requirements for reviews, opinions, and conceptual frameworks, including its highly invited nature, required critical synthesis, and unique structural conventions (e.g., Box panels). Use this to assess the fit of your work before submission.

A comprehensive guide for authors targeting Trends in Ecology & Evolution (TREE). It details the journal's unique positioning, emphasizing that articles must be high-level syntheses, opinions, or conceptual frameworks, rather than primary research reports. Learn how to frame your work for a broad, cross-disciplinary readership and meet the rigorous conceptual and structural standards of top-tier academic publishing.

This guide provides a strategic framework for drafting author responses to challenging peer reviews in academic conferences. It teaches authors how to structure replies by addressing four key axes (Correctness, Novelty, Backing, Clarity), ensuring technical precision, maintaining anonymity, and framing commitments that survive the subsequent Area Chair (AC) discussion phase.

Provides comprehensive guidelines for designing rigorous technical evaluations for interactive systems, specifically tailored for top-tier venues like UIST. It emphasizes matching evaluation methods to specific artifact claims, reporting distributions over means, closing the interaction loop, and performing thorough ablations against real-world baselines. This framework ensures the scientific rigor and credibility of submitted research.

This comprehensive guide provides an end-to-end planning framework for USENIX Security Symposium submissions. It assists researchers in selecting the optimal submission cycle, mapping backward timelines from key milestones (like registration), assigning ownership for venue-specific risks (e.g., ethics, reproducibility), and coordinating through the complex post-submission decision process (Accept/Reject).

This guide provides a comprehensive framework for authors responding to major conference reviews (like IEEE VIS). It details the distinct strategies for both first-round rebuttals and mandatory second-round revisions (conditional accept). Learn how to structure summaries of changes, address technical critiques, maintain anonymity, and turn reviewer skepticism into acceptance.

This guide provides a structured framework for conducting and presenting robust checks in econometric manuscripts, particularly relevant for studies using developing-country data. It moves beyond simple appendix dumping by organizing tests around potential identification threats and specific data-quality risks (e.g., measurement error, coverage gaps). It helps ensure the core findings are load-bearing against sophisticated academic scrutiny.

This guide provides a comprehensive framework for authors writing for development economics journals, specifically addressing the need to bridge the gap between rigorous econometric analysis and actionable policy advice. It teaches how to structure introductions, write concise abstracts, and frame findings by emphasizing policy magnitudes over statistical significance, ensuring the work speaks to both technical economists and non-specialist policymakers.

This skill provides a comprehensive framework for targeting and revising academic manuscripts for the journal World Economic Studies. It analyzes the journal's scope, focusing on globalization, open strategy, international trade, and regional economics. It guides users on required advanced methodologies (e.g., GVC decomposition, panel data), structural mandates, and common submission pitfalls to ensure manuscripts meet high academic standards.

This comprehensive guide provides authors with structured frameworks for assessing robustness and trustworthiness in World Development manuscripts. It guides users to organize checks by identifying specific threats (e.g., specification dependence, measurement error) in quantitative work, or demonstrating methodological rigor (e.g., triangulation, negative-case analysis) in qualitative work. It ensures findings are thoroughly vetted against alternative explanations.

This guide helps researchers move beyond decorative theory to construct 'load-bearing' conceptual or analytical frameworks for World Development (WD) manuscripts. It outlines how to transform vague ideas into structured, testable mechanisms by stating clear mechanisms, deriving discriminating predictions, mapping predictions to evidence, and defining scope conditions, ensuring the theory actively drives the empirical argument.
