This comprehensive preflight checklist guides authors through the final steps before submitting academic manuscripts, especially for double-blind review processes. It covers critical requirements such as thorough anonymization (removing names, metadata, and self-citations), verifying file completeness (abstract, proofs, title page), managing submission fees, and confirming format compliance to ensure a smooth submission experience via Editorial Manager.

This guide helps structure and build rigorous academic theories and economic models, especially for accounting manuscripts. Use it when the core challenge is articulating the underlying economic mechanism (friction, channel), building a minimal, provable model, or moving beyond simple correlation (HARKing). It guides the process from raw primitives to testable, proposition-based arguments.

This guide helps authors polish the prose and structure of academic accounting manuscripts, particularly for top-tier journal submissions. It emphasizes front-loading the contribution in the introduction, crafting a high-impact abstract, and adopting an active, authoritative 'house voice' that guides the reader immediately to the core finding and its implication.

A comprehensive guide for authors revising academic manuscripts following peer review decisions (major/minor revision). It teaches how to triage complex reviewer comments, restructure the literature search, strengthen analysis robustness, and draft a professional, point-by-point response letter to maximize acceptance chances.

This skill helps authors assess the suitability of their accounting manuscripts for prestigious academic journals like Review of Accounting Studies (RAST). It analyzes the paper's fit, rigor, methodological strength, and structure against top-tier academic standards in areas like valuation, disclosure, and information economics. It provides actionable feedback on potential rejection risks and alternative venues.

This skill provides a comprehensive guide for authors submitting manuscripts to elite economics journals, such as Review of Economic Studies. It assesses the paper's fit by evaluating novelty, theoretical rigor, methodological sophistication, and adherence to modern academic standards, helping authors strategically position their work and decide on the best target venue.

This skill acts as a specialized guide for researchers submitting applied econometrics or empirical economics manuscripts. It helps authors assess the suitability of their work for the Review of Economics and Statistics (REStat) venue. It emphasizes framing the contribution around careful identification, robust measurement, and clean design, rather than general interest, providing crucial pre-submission self-checks and identifying potential desk-reject risks.

A comprehensive guide for authors submitting finance manuscripts. This skill helps assess whether a paper meets the high methodological and conceptual standards required by premier finance journals like Review of Financial Studies (RFS), Journal of Finance (JF), and Journal of Financial Economics (JFE). It covers required rigor in asset pricing, corporate finance, methodological innovation, and structural presentation.

This skill is a comprehensive guidance tool designed to help authors determine the suitability and required scope for submitting manuscripts to Reviews of Modern Physics (RMP). It outlines the journal's authoritative positioning, the necessary synthesis depth, expected structure (Colloquia vs. Reviews), and high academic bar, ensuring that submissions serve as definitive community references rather than primary research reports. Use this before submitting to check for conceptual fit and structural completeness.

This comprehensive guide provides authors with a strategic framework for submitting academic manuscripts to top-tier journals. It details best practices for suggesting and opposing expert reviewers, and, crucially, performing an 'objection pre-mortem.' By anticipating common critiques (e.g., lack of novelty, identification threats) and preparing robust counter-arguments beforehand, authors can significantly strengthen their paper and increase their chances of acceptance.

A comprehensive checklist for preparing academic manuscripts for submission to major financial journals. It guides authors through formatting rules, ensuring double-blind anonymization, preparing the Internet Appendix, writing a detailed cover letter, and addressing mandatory code release conditions, ensuring readiness before final portal submission.

This guide acts as a comprehensive workflow router for developing manuscripts intended for The Review of Financial Studies (RFS). It diagnoses the current stage of the research process—from initial topic selection and literature positioning to empirical design, robustness checking, writing polish, and rebuttal. It does not replace specialized skills but directs the user to the precise skill needed next, ensuring novelty and rigor are maintained throughout the entire academic publishing cycle.
