This guide outlines how to elevate a research paper beyond merely presenting new estimates. It teaches authors to frame their contributions around actionable policy gaps, welfare improvements, and cost-benefit analyses, ensuring the 'so what' for policymakers is the primary takeaway. Essential for academic writing in economics.

A guide for academic writers on how to succinctly position a research contribution against the single closest prior work in highly constrained formats (e.g., AER: Insights). It teaches authors to state the novelty (the 'delta') in one or two paragraphs, avoiding full literature reviews and focusing only on the marginal contribution.

This tool acts as a comprehensive router, guiding users through the specific stages of writing a short-format manuscript for American Economic Review: Insights (AER: Insights). It helps structure the process from initial topic selection and identifying a single core insight, through literature positioning, model refinement, and final submission/rebuttal preparation, ensuring compliance with strict length and scope requirements.

A comprehensive guide on positioning academic manuscripts within the broader field conversation, specifically for general education-research journals. It teaches researchers how to move beyond niche citation clusters to establish a field-wide gap, articulate the stakes, and connect the study to adjacent subfields, ensuring the contribution is broadly relevant.

A comprehensive guide for authors writing the Related Work section for high-impact journals (e.g., Acta Electronica Sinica). It teaches how to structure the review critically, moving beyond mere chronology to organize by technical path, defining scope, articulating clear technical deficiencies, and precisely positioning the paper's novelty against state-of-the-art methods.

This skill guides authors through the critical process of positioning their manuscript for Acta Electronica Sinica (AES). It helps authors rigorously assess if their topic falls within the scope of electronic information science (e.g., IC, communication, signal processing) and determines the appropriate journal (AES vs. CJE). It covers scope definition, innovation assessment, and manuscript type selection, ensuring submissions are highly relevant and meet the required academic level.

This skill guides authors on how to position their manuscript within the complex, multidisciplinary literature of Agricultural Systems (AgSy). It ensures that the paper advances the conversation by engaging both the domain knowledge and the core modeling/systems methodologies. The process focuses on identifying unresolved systemic trade-offs, pinpointing the exact research gap, and clearly articulating the unique contribution among established alternatives.

This guide teaches how to structure a historical manuscript to function as a significant scholarly intervention, rather than a mere report of archival findings. It instructs writers on identifying the prevailing historical debate, precisely stating their argument's contribution, and revising prior scholarship while maintaining academic rigor and breadth.

This comprehensive guide helps researchers position their academic paper for AISTATS, ensuring maximum novelty and eligibility. It provides detailed advice on comparative analysis, teaching authors how to contrast statistical methods against both modern ML literature (e.g., NeurIPS, ICML) and established statistical theory (e.g., JASA, Annals of Statistics). It covers proper citation of concurrent work, understanding archival status, and structuring the 'Related Work' section to highlight unique technical contributions.

This guide provides detailed instructions for structuring the introduction of academic manuscripts, particularly for high-stakes, double-blind review journals. It teaches authors how to frame their research contribution by engaging a live, recognized academic debate, precisely locating the marginal intellectual gap, and strictly maintaining anonymity through third-person self-citation.

This guide helps authors strategically position their academic work within the existing body of sociological literature. It teaches how to frame a paper not merely as filling a knowledge gap, but as resolving a core theoretical tension or participating in a live, generalist debate. It is essential for improving submissions to highly selective, theory-driven journals like AJS.

This guide helps position academic manuscripts for a broad, four-field anthropological audience (sociocultural, archaeology, biological, linguistic). It teaches how to move beyond simple literature reviews by engaging the live scholarly conversation, challenging the dominant canon, and connecting disparate subfields to demonstrate a clear, theoretical contribution.
