This skill guides users to transform mere empirical findings or correlations into robust, publishable academic contributions within the field of demography. It teaches how to structure claims by identifying explicit mechanisms, scope conditions, and observable implications, thereby satisfying the academic requirement that results must be tied to a testable population-science mechanism, moving beyond simple description.

This skill provides a comprehensive framework for assessing whether a research project meets the academic scope of general population science. It guides users to shift focus from mere data usage to advancing core demographic questions concerning fertility, mortality, migration, and population change, helping to frame the contribution for maximum impact.

This tool serves as the comprehensive orchestrator for manuscripts submitted to Demography (PAA). It guides authors through the entire population science publishing lifecycle. By assessing the manuscript's current stage (e.g., topic selection, research design, data analysis, rebuttal) and determining the appropriate article type (Research Article, Note, or Commentary), it routes the user to the next specialized skill or writing phase required for successful submission.

This skill guides the polishing and formatting of demography manuscripts for publication in academic journals. It ensures the prose is accessible to a general population scientist, adhering to strict house styles (loosely APA) and meeting specific word and structural limitations (e.g., abstract length, keyword count). It focuses on clarifying the main demographic process and contribution, rather than just reporting associations.

A comprehensive guide for researchers in Developmental Psychology on meeting rigorous Open Science standards. It details best practices for data and materials sharing using Persistent Identifiers (DOIs), mandatory preregistration of hypotheses, sample-size justification, and adhering to ethical requirements when working with minors and vulnerable populations. It ensures compliance and reproducibility in modern scientific reporting.

This skill provides comprehensive guidance for authors submitting manuscripts to Environment International. It focuses on the rigorous connection between measured environmental exposures (including the exposome, contaminants, and mixtures) and quantifiable, population-relevant human health outcomes or risks. It covers methodology requirements, epidemiological rigor, and journal-specific formatting standards to improve manuscript suitability and reduce desk rejection risk.

A comprehensive guide for revising academic papers submitted to FAccT (Fairness, Accountability, and Transparency). It instructs authors on how to frame socio-technical contributions to be legible to a mixed panel of computer scientists, lawyers, and social scientists. Focus areas include scoping claims to specific populations, explicitly arguing adverse impacts, and making interdisciplinary concepts native to the text.

This guide helps researchers rigorously vet their academic questions against the standards of top-tier development economics journals. It teaches users to identify 'first-order' issues focused on low- and middle-income economies, ensuring the research mechanism genuinely contributes to understanding poverty, growth, and policy levers for poor populations, rather than merely being a general micro-economic result.

This guide provides an advanced framework for positioning empirical research findings against established academic literature, particularly for high-impact journals. It instructs authors to move beyond simple citation by quantitatively reconciling differences in estimates (magnitude, sign, significance). By explicitly identifying disparities in sample design, population, or underlying mechanisms, this methodology significantly strengthens the paper's academic rigor and perceived contribution.

This skill provides comprehensive guidance for authors targeting high-impact ecological journals like the Journal of Ecology. It assesses the manuscript's conceptual fit, methodological rigor, and structural completeness. The guide covers scope from plant populations to entire ecosystems, emphasizing the need for generalizable, mechanistic conclusions, robust experimental design, and adherence to current publishing standards.

This skill guides the development of the theoretical framework for policy-related manuscripts, focusing on building a rigorous 'theory of the policy lever.' It helps users account for the mechanism by which a mandated rule, restriction, or default changes marketplace behavior, considering unintended consequences, strategic firm responses, and the effect on vulnerable populations. It moves theory beyond simple hypothesis generation.

This guide enforces rigorous standards for reporting clinical trial statistics, moving beyond simple P values. It mandates the use of confidence intervals, absolute and relative effect sizes, clear designation of the primary analysis population (ITT), and proper handling of multiplicity and missing data, aligning with standards set by top-tier medical journals.
