This guide provides a comprehensive strategy for writing a formal rebuttal letter after a 'Revise and Resubmit' (R&R) phase for high-impact academic journals. It details how to address every reviewer comment systematically, strengthen theoretical contributions, integrate added methodological rigor (like alternative models and CMV checks), and maintain full transparency while keeping the manuscript anonymized.

This skill provides a comprehensive guide for authors submitting applied empirical research in banking and finance. It helps evaluate a manuscript's fit, required framing, methodological rigor, and adherence to house style for target journals like the Journal of Banking and Finance (JBF). It serves as a crucial pre-submission self-check tool, advising on scope, potential weaknesses, and suggesting alternative, more suitable venues.

This tool helps authors assess if their research manuscript is suitable for the Journal of Business and Economic Statistics (JBES). It evaluates the fit across methodological rigor, economic relevance, time series analysis, and microeconometrics, providing a comprehensive self-check against the journal's high standards and suggesting alternative venues.

This comprehensive skill guides authors through the rigorous process of assessing whether a corporate finance manuscript is suitable for the Journal of Corporate Finance (JCF) or related elite venues. It covers topic scope (governance, M&A, capital structure), methodological requirements (causal identification, endogeneity), structural best practices, and provides a detailed, step-by-step checklist for pre-submission self-review and alternative venue routing.

A specialized tool for applied microeconomists to assess the suitability of their empirical work—covering labor, education, health, and welfare—for the Journal of Human Resources (JHR). It evaluates the paper's fit, methodological rigor, identification strategy, and policy relevance, providing actionable advice on framing and alternative submissions.

This skill guide is designed for researchers and academics submitting manuscripts to specialized journals in economics and management. It helps users analyze a target journal's specific scope, required theoretical perspectives (e.g., institutional economics, political economy), and structural demands. It provides guidance on manuscript revision, identifying high-risk areas for rejection, and suggesting alternative suitable venues.

A comprehensive academic consulting tool designed for authors in management and organizational behavior. It helps researchers assess the suitability of their manuscript for the Journal of Management (JOM). The skill evaluates topic scope, theoretical contribution, methodological rigor (e.g., meta-analysis, SEM), and adherence to top academic publishing standards. It also provides advice on potential rejection risks and suggests alternative top-tier venues.

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.

A comprehensive guide to defending causal claims in policy and program evaluation, adhering to rigorous econometric standards (e.g., JPAM). It covers advanced methods such as RCT, Difference-in-Differences (DiD), Regression Discontinuity (RDD), Instrumental Variables (IV), and Synthetic Control. This guide emphasizes stating the estimand, defending identification assumptions, and robustly ruling out alternative causal explanations, rather than just writing estimation code.

A comprehensive guide for ensuring the robustness of empirical findings, particularly for submissions to top-tier economic journals. This method moves beyond simply showing that coefficients remain significant, focusing instead on defending the core economic interpretation by systematically ruling out alternative mechanisms, structural assumptions, and potential sources of bias. It guides the development of a rigorous 'robustness battery.'

This skill is a comprehensive guide for researchers to determine if their Information Systems (IS) research manuscript meets the high academic standards of MIS Quarterly (MISQ). It evaluates the theoretical contribution, methodological rigor (behavioral, design-science, economics), and overall fit, providing crucial guidance on re-framing the work or suggesting alternative academic venues before submission.

A comprehensive skill guide for authors targeting the academic journal Modern Finance and Economics. It covers the journal's focus areas (finance, accounting, regional economy), submission standards (length, format, citation style), and provides heuristics for manuscript positioning, potential weaknesses, and alternative journal suggestions.
