A structured methodology for transforming highly technical, narrow scientific findings into a high-impact, broad narrative suitable for top-tier scientific journals. It guides authors to shift focus from mere background reporting (lab reports) to stating a generalized, surprising advance and its broad implications, ensuring the 'so what?' question is answered immediately.

This tool acts as a comprehensive workflow router for manuscripts aiming for top-tier journals like Science. It doesn't write the content but guides the user through essential stages—from initial significance testing to final submission and rebuttal. It diagnoses bottlenecks and suggests the next specialized skill needed, ensuring the manuscript meets high standards for general interest and structure.

A guide on how to position a research contribution for general social science journals. It emphasizes moving beyond simple literature reviews to actively engaging a live academic debate. Users learn how to connect niche findings to broader social science implications while maintaining scholarly rigor and adhering to strict word and citation limits.

This guide details the expected review standards and process for submitting academic manuscripts to general social-science journals, referencing the Social Forces review model. It covers double-anonymization rules, required methodological rigor, achieving general significance, structuring theoretical arguments, and anticipating typical reviewer critiques. Use this before submission to stress-test your work and shape it for a higher chance of acceptance.

This skill guides the transformation of empirical findings into generalizable, theoretically robust arguments suitable for top-tier social science publishing. It helps define core social mechanisms, establish scope conditions, and derive testable observable implications across diverse methodologies (e.g., quantitative, comparative, network). Use this when your initial results are strong but the overarching theoretical contribution needs explicit articulation.

This skill guides researchers on assessing if their academic project fits the scope and standards of a major social science journal. It provides a rigorous framework to test for general significance, methodological credibility, theoretical contribution, and adherence to strict word limits, helping authors effectively frame their work for a broad academic audience.

This tool acts as an orchestrator for academic manuscripts targeting general social-science journals. It guides authors through the entire writing and revision lifecycle, ensuring the paper maintains a general audience focus and adheres to strict structural constraints, such as 10,000-word limits (including references) and 10 figure/table panels. It routes the user to the most necessary next skill, whether for initial topic selection, theoretical positioning, research design, or final rebuttal.

This guide outlines the strict writing and formatting requirements for submitting scholarly manuscripts to a general social science audience. Key guidelines include adopting the Chicago Manual of Style (17th ed., author-date), maintaining an accessible, argument-first prose, and adhering to a stringent total word count cap that includes all references. It ensures academic submissions are professional, readable, and properly formatted for publication.

This guide outlines the rigorous standards required for submitting top-tier academic papers, such as those for ACM SIGCOMM. It instructs authors on how to transition from general claims to highly evidence-based arguments by focusing on measured operational pain, defining design principles, and pairing every performance claim with concrete testbed, trace, or deployment evidence. Essential for researchers in networking and systems.

A comprehensive guide for authors aiming to publish in top-tier Information Retrieval (IR) conferences like SIGIR. It teaches the specific, quantitative 'native register' required, moving beyond general machine learning boilerplate. Covers structuring the first page arc, calibrating vocabulary, and building table-centric arguments under strict page limits.

A guide for articulating and bounding a methodological contribution in social science research. It teaches authors how to explicitly state the problem, the failing incumbent method, the mechanism of the fix, and the associated costs, ensuring the claim is proportional, specific, and actionable rather than overly general.

This skill is a comprehensive guide for authors targeting the journal *Social Security Studies*. It analyzes the journal's specific fit, required methodology, core themes (such as pension, medical insurance, and social assistance), and common rejection pitfalls. It helps authors refine general social science manuscripts to meet the rigorous academic standards of the journal.
