A comprehensive guide for developing rigorous theory for Information Systems Research (ISR) manuscripts. It outlines two primary theorizing modes—Behavioral (focusing on explicit causal mechanisms centered on the IT artifact) and Analytical (deriving propositions from economic/equilibrium models). The framework emphasizes making the theory sociotechnical by bridging traditional IS silos and ensuring the IT artifact is the load-bearing theoretical element, moving beyond simple correlation to mechanistic insight.

This guide simulates and advises on the complex, multi-stage process of academic peer review, modeled after rigorous conferences like ISSTA. It covers double-anonymous reviewing, the Accept/Major-Revision/Reject outcome model, and detailed evaluation criteria (e.g., Soundness, Verifiability). Use it to structure research arguments, anticipate reviewer critiques, and plan revisions through multiple submission deadlines.

Provides detailed guidelines for authors submitting technical research papers, clarifying how to split content between the main 18-page body and supplementary artifacts. It stresses that all decision-critical evidence, such as threat models and core results, must reside within the reviewed body to ensure reviewers can adequately evaluate the work without relying on accessing supplemental materials.

This guide models the specific, high-stakes review pipeline of the ITCS conference. It emphasizes that submissions are judged as-is, with no opportunity for rebuttal or revision. The focus is on conceptual novelty and making the paper completely self-contained. Use this to calibrate your expectations and preemptively address potential reviewer objections in your initial draft.

This guide helps researchers navigate the complex landscape of theoretical computer science conferences. It explains the crucial distinction between 'conceptual novelty' (favored by ITCS) and 'deep technical results' (favored by STOC/FOCS). Use this to determine if your research contribution is a new idea, model, or connection, or if it is the deepest, most polished theorem on an established problem.

This guide provides specific structural advice for writing top-tier academic papers, particularly for ITCS. It emphasizes that the paper must lead with the novel question or conceptual model, rather than deep technical theorems. Learn how to frame the innovation, identify the gap in current research, and clearly define the conceptual payoff to maximize impact on reviewers.

This comprehensive guide provides a rigorous framework for developing original theoretical contributions in Information Systems (IS) research, particularly for top-tier academic journals. It outlines various theoretical genres—including behavioral mechanisms, economic models, and design theories—and teaches authors how to move beyond mere description. Key principles include constructing novel, well-defined constructs; identifying clear boundary conditions; and executing deep 'round-trip' theoretical integrations to ensure the contribution is genuinely original.

A comprehensive guide for drafting and revising security research papers intended for top-tier conferences like IEEE S&P (Oakland). It teaches authors how to structure their work to withstand rigorous reviewer scrutiny, focusing on passing the 'first-round survival test,' implementing load-bearing threat models, and calibrating all claims to remove hyperbole and ensure maximum impact within strict page limits.

This guide details the rigorous standards for creating empirical tables and figures in academic marketing science (JAMS style). It covers building conceptual models, structural path coefficient tables, measurement validity checks, and creating highly actionable 'managerial exhibits' that translate statistical estimates into decision-making insights, ensuring all work is self-contained and adheres to APA guidelines.

A comprehensive guide designed for authors submitting to the Journal of Business & Economic Statistics (JBES). It details the unique multi-Co-Editor model, how referees scrutinize submissions (focusing on statistical validity, empirical relevance, and reproducibility), and the conventions of the discussion-paper tradition. This resource helps authors set expectations and anticipate critiques before drafting the formal response letter.

A comprehensive guide detailing the rigorous review process for top-tier academic journals, using the Journal of Business Venturing (JBV) as a model. It educates authors on area-editor routing, the meaning of double-anonymized reviews, common desk-reject pitfalls, and provides a structured method for interpreting complex decision letters (Major/Minor Revision) to maximize acceptance chances.

A comprehensive guide for structuring and polishing empirical tables and figures for top-tier academic journals, such as the Journal of Business Venturing (JBV). It covers the standards for presenting descriptives, main model coefficients, interaction plots, survival curves, process models, and qualitative data structures. This skill ensures exhibits are self-contained, interpretable, and adhere to rigorous academic house styles.
