This comprehensive checklist guides authors through the final preflight stages of submitting a commissioned article to Annual Reviews of Economics (ARE). It ensures compliance with the publisher's specific requirements, including conflict-of-interest disclosure, data reproducibility for meta-analyses, systematic coverage documentation, and adherence to the unique house style. It is crucial for authors delivering an invited review, not for unsolicited submissions.

This guide teaches authors how to frame their research contribution for a high-impact, generalist journal like the British Journal of Political Science (BJPS). It emphasizes moving beyond niche literature reviews to engage with broad, live, cross-subfield, and cross-national debates. The goal is to satisfy both specialized experts and generalist editors by clearly defining the academic gap and positioning the study as a significant move in the field's debate.

This guide provides a methodological framework for authors submitting manuscripts to major, all-fields academic journals, particularly those with rigorous comment-and-reply cycles. It moves beyond a simple literature review, teaching authors how to strategically position their work within a live, transnational academic conversation. Key elements include identifying the precise theoretical gap, demonstrating cross-subfield relevance, and incorporating marginalized or regional scholarship to meet the expectations of a global academic audience.

This skill guides authors preparing manuscripts for academic journals, specifically addressing the unique 'Panel Review' model (like those at Economic Policy). Instead of standard anonymous refereeing, the paper faces a live debate from two named discussants (Academic and Policy). It teaches authors how to 'war-game' these experts, anticipating their specific objections on rigor and relevance, and planning pre-emptive fixes or precise live rebuttals.

This comprehensive guide assists researchers preparing liver biology or disease studies for submission to Hepatology (AASLD). It meticulously reviews the journal's scope, evidence bar, reporting guidelines (e.g., CONSORT, STROBE), and required structure. It helps authors determine if their mechanistic or clinical work is rigorous enough and appropriately framed for a top-tier, international audience.

This guide outlines the specific expectations for preparing the 'artifact' when submitting papers to the International Conference on Database Theory (ICDT). It clarifies that ICDT is a pure theory venue, meaning the primary deliverable is not runnable code or system badges, but the complete, verifiable proof. Key components include the marked appendix (for review) and the consistent, archived full version on arXiv.

This comprehensive guide details the strict content partitioning rules for preparing papers for top-tier security conferences like IEEE S&P. It advises authors on differentiating between core claims (which must live in the limited body pages) and verification material (which belongs in the appendix), ensuring adherence to strict page limits and review expectations.

A comprehensive preflight checklist designed for submitting manuscripts to the Journal of Business & Economic Statistics (JBES). This guide ensures authors have verified all necessary components—including the data/code supplement, conflict disclosures, and cover letter targeting—against the latest academic standards. It functions as a critical final review step before formal submission, emphasizing the need to cross-reference live journal guidelines.

This guide teaches advanced academic writers how to structure their papers by positioning their thesis within an ongoing, live scholarly debate. It emphasizes engaging with the strongest, canonical versions of existing views, rather than summarizing literature or attacking strawmen. It helps authors define the precise gap their work fills and state their unique contribution clearly.

A comprehensive guide detailing the high standards required for presenting security evidence at major conferences. It covers methodologies for proving claims—including attacks, defenses, and detection systems—across live internet measurements, controlled testbeds, and emulation. Key requirements include adaptive adversary modeling, rigorous measurement hygiene, and adherence to ethical review protocols to ensure results are reproducible and relevant to real-world networks.

A comprehensive guide for placing interdisciplinary academic manuscripts within live, cross-field debates. It teaches authors to move beyond simple literature reviews by identifying the precise 'seam'—the unique contribution—that emerges only when braiding together two or more distinct academic literatures, thereby defining the specific gap as an active disagreement.

A comprehensive guide for evaluating academic topics to determine if they constitute a 'review-worthy' theoretical essay for high-impact journals. It tests a topic's scope, intellectual contestation, current relevance (liveness), and disciplinary stakes, ensuring the work transcends mere summary or empirical reporting.
