This skill guides researchers through the rigorous process of refining a preliminary accounting idea into a sharp, contribution-driven research question suitable for top academic journals like Review of Accounting Studies (RAST). It helps users identify the core accounting construct, define the mechanism (friction/channel), and ensure the study's focus is on accounting theory, rather than merely using accounting data in a general finance context.

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.

This guide provides a structured methodology for planning complex academic research publications, especially those governed by multi-deadline cycles. It emphasizes backward scheduling, accounting for non-compressible physical processes like hardware deployment and energy campaigns. It helps researchers sequence activities from initial topic selection through building, measurement, writing, and handling potential resubmission requirements across two distinct academic deadlines.

This skill is designed to help researchers critically assess whether their project aligns with the scope of Social Psychology Quarterly (SPQ). It guides users to pressure-test the core contribution: the link between social structure, process, and the individual. It helps frame the research question, determine the appropriate tradition (e.g., identity theory, symbolic interaction), and decide whether the final output should be a full Article or a focused Note.

This skill details the rigorous process of converting raw statistical outputs into self-contained, publication-ready tables and figures for top-tier academic journals. It ensures compliance with strict house styles, covering sample selection, descriptive statistics, main regression results, and specific formatting for DiD, RDD, and event studies, all while adhering to strict page limits and providing economic magnitude interpretation.

A comprehensive audit guide for submitting full papers to IEEE VIS. It covers the complex, multi-stage submission process, requiring authors to adhere to journal-quality standards (IEEE TVCG). The guide details the strict deadlines for abstracts, full papers, and supplemental materials, along with critical mechanics like the 9+2 page budget, proper society/track selection, and advanced double-blind anonymization techniques.

This guide helps scholars rigorously defend the methodological design of academic papers, particularly in International Relations and Comparative Politics. It covers advanced techniques such as process tracing, case selection logic, quantitative cross-national panel data analysis (DID, IV, RDD), and experimental design. Its core purpose is to strengthen causal claims by explicitly addressing selection bias, defining scope conditions, and ruling out major rival explanations.

Details the rigorous selection and peer-review process for top-tier academic journals, such as those in comparative politics or international relations. This guide helps authors pre-empt common rejection reasons—including scope mismatch, lack of theoretical engagement, or unclear methodology—by structuring their manuscripts according to high academic standards (e.g., triple-blind anonymity, comparative focus, and ethical compliance).

This advanced skill provides end-to-end management for external local counsel on multi-jurisdiction legal matters. It guides the entire process—from firm selection and engagement setup (including instruction design) through performance monitoring, scope enforcement, and relationship escalation. The focus is on the coordination discipline of Legal Project Management (LPM) to prevent common failure modes like scope creep and ambiguous instructions.

This skill is designed for in-house legal operations teams managing outside counsel. It executes the full lifecycle of external engagement, covering matter allocation (matching the right firm by practice area and jurisdiction), drafting detailed matter instructions (scope, budget, timeline), generating firm onboarding checklists (conflict clearance, e-billing setup), and auditing existing instructions for gaps. It streamlines the entire process from selection to execution.

This skill automates the complex process of building shared, structured glossaries and article links from a research paper source manifest within an Obsidian vault. It guides the user through semantic review, selection, and executes a robust, multi-stage batch write process (Triage, Inventory, Writer, Linker) to ensure high provenance integrity and content consistency.
