This guide teaches academics how to write the 'related work' section for high-level theoretical journals. It emphasizes positioning a new result relative to the closest existing theorem, rather than giving a broad survey. Users learn to identify and articulate the precise 'delta'—whether it's weakening assumptions, achieving greater generality, introducing a new object, or providing a tighter/constructive characterization.

A comprehensive workflow router designed for authors submitting highly theoretical manuscripts to the Journal of Economic Theory (JET). It guides users through the entire academic lifecycle—from initial scope assessment and theoretical positioning to drafting, revision (R&R), and final submission. It emphasizes adherence to JET's strict theory-first standards, ensuring every step reduces potential desk or referee risk.

This guide teaches authors how to strategically position their research manuscript, particularly for top finance journals (like The Journal of Finance). It moves beyond a general literature survey, instructing users to articulate a crisp, unique marginal contribution—whether it's a new fact, mechanism, or method—relative to the closest existing literature. This ensures the paper is framed to meet the high standards of academic rigor and novelty required by leading journals.

This workflow router guides users through the entire end-to-end process of developing and submitting a high-stakes academic manuscript to The Journal of Finance (JF). It outlines the necessary sequence of steps—from initial topic selection and literature positioning to empirical design, robustness checks, and final rebuttal strategy—ensuring the paper meets the rigorous standards of top-tier finance publications.

This guide provides expert advice on structuring the literature review for top-tier finance journals (e.g., JFE). It teaches authors to move beyond simple chronological listing, instead mapping the core academic debates, pinpointing the exact boundaries of the closest existing work, and articulating concrete, theoretically motivated gaps that the new research fills. This is essential for convincing domain experts of novel contribution.

A comprehensive guide for researchers writing for top-tier journals like JFI. It teaches authors how to structure the introduction and related-work sections by clearly positioning their contribution against the established frontier of banking and financial intermediation. It emphasizes identifying the specific mechanism gap, citing the two to four closest antecedent papers, and distinguishing the work from adjacent financial fields.

A comprehensive guide to positioning research contributions for top-tier financial microstructure journals, such as the Journal of Financial Markets (JFM). It teaches authors how to articulate their novel findings by anchoring them within established academic lineages (e.g., Glosten-Milgrom) and explicitly identifying the gap relative to 3-5 closest prior works. Focus must be placed on market mechanics and trading-process advances, rather than general financial outcomes.

This router guides researchers through the entire lifecycle of a manuscript submitted to the Journal of Financial Markets (JFM). It provides a structured sequence of skills, from topic selection and literature positioning to empirical design, robustness checking, and rebuttal preparation. It ensures the focus remains strictly on market microstructure mechanisms, preventing common pitfalls like over-reliance on corporate finance models.

A detailed guide for authors submitting to the Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis (JFQA). It teaches how to precisely position a quantitative finance paper against the existing academic literature, moving beyond simple surveys to define a sharp, unique contribution gap for reviewers. Focuses on structuring the argument using a 'three-paragraph compression' method.

This guide helps researchers evaluate the core mechanism of their academic paper, determining whether the focus is fundamentally on financial mechanisms. It provides criteria for positioning the work along the macro-finance or micro-corporate finance line, and offers advice on suggesting alternative journals if the topic drifts into general industrial, accounting, or management fields.

This router provides a systematic workflow guide for submitting academic manuscripts to top-tier finance journals, such as the Journal of Financial Research. It does not replace specialized skills but dictates the necessary sequence of steps—from initial positioning and topic selection to advanced identification, mechanism analysis, and rebuttal response—ensuring the required academic rigor and structure.

This router guides researchers through the entire lifecycle of writing and submitting a manuscript for the Journal of Health Economics (JHE). It identifies the optimal next step—from initial topic selection and causal design establishment to literature positioning, robustness testing, and handling referee revisions (R&R). It ensures the paper meets the rigorous standards of health economics, guaranteeing a structured, step-by-step approach for maximum publication success.
