This guide provides comprehensive methodological frameworks for designing rigorous empirical studies suitable for top-tier academic journals. It helps researchers match theoretical claims (e.g., causal effects, cross-level dynamics) to appropriate designs (experiments, panel data, qualitative analysis). It details how to proactively address major threats like Common-Method Bias, Endogeneity, and inconsistent levels of analysis, ensuring high internal and external validity.

A comprehensive guide detailing the selection of appropriate statistical estimators (e.g., DiD, Panel FE, ANOVA) for various research designs. It also outlines rigorous best practices for ensuring data integrity, conducting robustness checks, and adhering to journal code-sharing policies, ensuring highly reproducible empirical research.

This guide provides comprehensive guidelines for selecting, validating, and defending rigorous research designs for Contemporary Accounting Research (CAR) manuscripts. It covers various approaches—including panel archival, controlled experiments, analytical models, field studies, and surveys—while stressing critical rigor checks like identification strategy, internal validity, and model discipline. It also mandates adherence to ethical review processes and data integrity policies.

A detailed guide for scrutinizing statistical inference in high-level econometric manuscripts, designed to withstand rigorous technical peer review. It covers critical areas such as selecting appropriate clustering levels, handling weak instrumental variables (IV), correcting for multiple hypothesis testing, and ensuring accurate standard error reporting for panel data and causal inference models.

Provides a comprehensive framework for defending the methodological rigor of comparative social science research. This skill guides users through establishing comparative leverage, whether in cross-national panel data, case-based comparisons, or natural experiments. It emphasizes techniques like causal inference, process tracing, and ruling out rival theoretical accounts to strengthen the study's claims.

A comprehensive guide for rigorous data analysis execution and reporting in criminology research. This skill covers advanced econometric techniques required for analyzing complex crime data, including count models (Negative Binomial, Zero-Inflated), fixed-effects panel data, and survival/recidivism modeling. It emphasizes transparently reporting uncertainty, addressing selection bias, and ensuring methods are fully reproducible for expert peer review.

A comprehensive guide for conducting advanced, methodologically rigorous data analysis for manuscripts in Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice (ETP). It covers specialized techniques such as survival analysis, handling endogeneity (IV, selection bias), advanced panel data models (Callaway–Sant'Anna), and rigorous qualitative coding schemes. The goal is to ensure that findings are theoretically robust and translate into actionable, venture-relevant insights, moving beyond simple p-value reporting.

This guide outlines the rigorous methodological standards required for empirical finance manuscripts. It covers essential details from sample construction (attrition tables, survivorship bias) to variable definition, merge integrity, and appropriate statistical inference (clustering, panel structure). Use this to harden your data layer and ensure your methodology is robust enough to pass peer review in top finance journals.

A comprehensive guide for structuring rigorous research designs in Human Resource Management. It addresses advanced methodological challenges such as common-method bias (CMB), endogeneity, cross-level data analysis, and multi-wave longitudinal modeling. Learn how to align theoretical claims with appropriate designs (e.g., field experiments, panel data, multi-source surveys) to ensure causal inference and methodological rigor.

This guide provides advanced methodological guidance for establishing causality and identifying policy effects within complex international macro datasets. It covers best practices for cross-country panel analyses, high-frequency policy surprise detection, crisis event studies, and structural modeling, ensuring that observed variation is rigorously linked to policy-relevant factors, respecting cross-country dependence and global shocks.

A comprehensive framework for conducting rigorous empirical data analysis required for top-tier academic journals. It guides users through building transparent archival samples, specifying appropriate panel data estimators (like firm/year fixed effects), ensuring correct standard error clustering, and executing sophisticated identification strategies (e.g., Difference-in-Differences, Instrumental Variables). Essential for addressing endogeneity and passing deep reviewer scrutiny.

This guide details the rigorous, reproducible empirical strategies required to identify causal parameters in applied econometrics, meeting high standards (e.g., JAE). It covers various designs—including DID, IV, panel data, and time-series—and mandates that every assumption and diagnostic test must be explicitly stated, tested, and reproducible using deposited code/data.
