This guide helps researchers sharpen and validate their research questions to ensure they meet the rigorous standards of top marketing journals (like JM). It focuses on testing for substantive importance, dual relevance (bridging theory and practice), and overall fit, helping users differentiate if their work belongs in JM, JMR, Marketing Science, or elsewhere. It emphasizes an empirics-first approach.

This guide helps researchers evaluate if a marketing topic meets the high academic standards of top journals like the Journal of Marketing Research (JMR). It provides a dual-bar test, requiring both methodological rigor (e.g., causal identification, experimental design) and substantive contribution (new insights). It also helps distinguish the appropriate venue among major marketing journals (JM, MS, JCR).

This guide helps authors determine if their research, particularly in market microstructure, liquidity, or high-frequency trading, is suitable for the Journal of Financial Markets (JFM). It provides detailed heuristics on topic fit, required evidence, structural guidelines, and common rejection triggers, ensuring submissions are optimally framed for specialist financial economics venues.

This skill helps authors evaluate if their market research manuscript is appropriate for the Journal of Marketing (JM). It guides users to check for theoretical depth, managerial relevance, methodological rigor, and adherence to high academic publishing standards. Use this tool to strategically re-frame and position a paper for a broad, high-impact academic audience.

This skill provides a comprehensive guide for authors targeting the Journal of Marketing Research (JMR). It analyzes the journal's demanding standards for methodological rigor, covering quantitative modeling, behavioral experiments, and design validity. Use this tool to assess if your manuscript's contribution, structure, and evidence base meet JMR's high academic bar, or to suggest more appropriate alternative venues.

This skill is a comprehensive guide for authors to evaluate the suitability of their marketing manuscript for top-tier journals like the Journal of the Academy of Marketing Science (JAMS). It assesses the theoretical grounding, empirical rigor (e.g., SEM, econometrics), market fit, and adherence to academic publishing standards, providing actionable feedback on improving scope and structure before submission.

This skill helps authors assess the suitability of their quantitative marketing, econometrics, or industrial organization (IO) paper for the Marketing Science journal. It outlines the journal's high standards, focusing on rigorous formal contributions, credible identification, and appropriate structural framing. Use this tool for pre-submission self-checking, understanding the required methodology bar, and deciding on the best academic venue.

This guide outlines the rigorous process for estimating, validating, and interpreting structural models in Marketing Science manuscripts. It covers advanced econometric techniques (GMM, MLE, Bayesian), demonstrating empirical identification, assessing model fit (in-sample/out-of-sample), and computing robust counterfactuals. It ensures the final results are statistically sound, economically plausible, and prepared for replication.

This comprehensive guide details the rigorous review process for academic manuscripts, specifically focusing on the standards used by top-tier journals like Marketing Science. It explains the double-anonymous review structure, what editors and reviewers prioritize (e.g., model fit, originality, counterfactual validity), and how to correctly interpret decision letters (Reject, Revise & Resubmit, Conditional). Use this before submission or when preparing a rebuttal.

A comprehensive guide for structuring and generating core exhibits—including estimates, model-fit, comparative statics, and counterfactuals—for academic manuscripts in Marketing Science. Designed to adhere to rigorous academic house styles (e.g., INFORMS), ensuring model mechanisms and policy implications are clearly and rigorously presented to quantitative reviewers.

This tool guides authors writing on industrial organization, market structure, regulation, and antitrust. It provides a rigorous framework for evaluating whether a manuscript meets the high standards of top-tier IO journals by assessing theoretical models, empirical identification, and policy significance. Use it for venue selection and manuscript re-framing.

This guide helps researchers determine if their applied microeconomics topic aligns with the deliberately narrow scope of a top Industrial Organization (IO) journal. It provides a structured framework to sharpen vague ideas into focused, mechanism-driven, and policy-relevant questions concerning antitrust, regulation, market structure, and firm strategy.
