A comprehensive guide for ensuring the robustness of empirical findings, particularly for submissions to top-tier economic journals. This method moves beyond simply showing that coefficients remain significant, focusing instead on defending the core economic interpretation by systematically ruling out alternative mechanisms, structural assumptions, and potential sources of bias. It guides the development of a rigorous 'robustness battery.'

A comprehensive guide for authors responding to major revisions in academic journals, particularly in policy and marketing research. It teaches how to systematically convert vague reviewer demands (e.g., "improve contribution") into concrete, visible analytical work, ensuring the response is both methodologically rigorous and policy-relevant.

Provides a systematic guide for authors to assess if their academic manuscript aligns with a specific journal's scope. It helps authors determine the primary contribution—whether it should be framed as quantitative measurement, forecasting, or method application, rather than relying solely on causal inference, thereby guiding optimal revisions and submission routes.

This comprehensive suite provides systematic checks to ensure spatial estimates are robust against methodological choices. It addresses core econometric issues such as Modifiable Areal Unit Problem (MAUP), boundary arbitrariness, spatial sorting, and spillover effects. Use this guide when submitting research to high-impact journals (like JUE) to demonstrate the reliability and stability of spatial relationships.

A comprehensive guide for structuring and writing professional rebuttal letters in academia. It teaches authors how to respond to highly specialized journal reviewer comments (R&R), particularly addressing challenging methodological points common in economics, such as open-economy fit, shift-share inference, and GVC measurement. It emphasizes professional tone, systematic rebuttal structure, and linking changes directly to the revised manuscript.

A comprehensive pre-submission checklist designed for academic authors preparing manuscripts for top-tier journals. It systematically verifies critical details such as footnote conventions, reference formatting, anonymity protocols, word count adherence, and the inclusion of supplementary data/code, ensuring compliance with the journal's most current submission guidelines.

This comprehensive workflow guide is designed to structure the entire manuscript preparation process for submission to The Journal of World Economy. It acts as a router, ensuring that research systematically progresses from establishing an open-economy positioning and defining causal questions, through literature review, cross-border mechanism analysis, to final submission and rebuttal preparation.

This comprehensive guide helps authors select and apply the appropriate EQUATOR reporting guideline (e.g., CONSORT for RCTs, PRISMA for systematic reviews) for various study designs. It mandates the inclusion of detailed, reconciled flow diagrams and fully mapped checklists, ensuring manuscripts meet the rigorous methodological standards of top-tier academic journals by preventing selective reporting and verifying data consistency across all sections.

A mandatory skill for original research articles, designed to create The Lancet's signature 'Research in context' panel. This panel forces authors to synthesize their findings within a systematic evidence base by detailing what was known previously (with documented search strategies), outlining the specific added value of the current study, and discussing the collective implications for clinical practice and public health policy.

Systematically transforms high-level ideas or goals into a detailed, structured, and executable taskbook designed for AI agents. This process involves deep research, validation against existing codebases, adherence to strict formatting rules, and generating a single, copy-pastable block of instructions for immediate agent execution. It distinguishes between execution and exploration tasks, ensuring all steps are verifiable and anti-cheating measures are included.

A comprehensive preflight checklist for authors submitting manuscripts to Management Science (INFORMS). It systematically verifies adherence to crucial publishing standards, including double-anonymization, author-year formatting, abstract length constraints, fee/waiver eligibility, and the mandatory Code and Data Disclosure package using an AsCollected URL. Use this guide right before final submission to ensure maximum readiness.

A comprehensive guide for authors responding to major or minor revisions from top-tier academic journals like MIS Quarterly. This skill teaches how to structure an auditable, point-by-point rebuttal letter, systematically addressing reviewer concerns, enhancing methodological rigor (e.g., common-method bias, identification), updating transparency materials, and adhering to strict formatting constraints.
