A specialized guide for authors preparing manuscripts for top-tier academic journals. This skill teaches how to structure and write the mandatory contribution statement (under 500 words), focusing on articulating the paper's overall contribution to the field rather than simply claiming novelty. It covers identifying the source of contribution (e.g., new data, mechanism, theory) and aligning the discussion section to match the high-stakes claim made in the statement.

A comprehensive checklist designed for authors submitting manuscripts to academic journals, specifically modeled after the requirements for Organization Studies (OS). It covers critical steps such as ensuring proper double-anonymization, adhering to strict word limits (e.g., 13,000 words), formatting guidelines (SAGE Harvard), and structuring abstracts and keywords. This tool ensures the manuscript is submission-ready before the final upload.

A comprehensive guide on structuring the mandatory contribution statement for Operations Research (OR) manuscripts. It teaches authors how to articulate the novel, innovative, and rigorous contribution, ensuring the work defines a clear delta over prior art, and connecting theoretical findings to practical decision payoffs within strict word count limits.

This tool polishes academic prose for Operations Research (OR) manuscripts, ensuring adherence to strict house styles like INFORMS. It enforces critical rules such as an equation-free introduction, a text-only abstract under 200 words, and clear theorem-proof exposition. Use this when your draft is complete and needs to meet the rigorous standards of an OR publication.

This comprehensive guide provides a structured framework for authors responding to major or minor revisions (R&R) decisions from academic journals. It teaches authors how to build a rigorous, point-by-point rebuttal letter that strengthens the core argument, integrates missed literature, and addresses reviewer concerns strategically, ensuring the revision elevates the research intervention rather than simply adding word count.

A comprehensive preflight checklist for authors submitting to academic journals, specifically modeled after the requirements for Progress in Human Geography (PiHG) via SAGE Track. It guides users through critical steps, including maintaining double-anonymity, confirming the genre (review article vs. empirical study), adhering to strict word counts (~8,000 words), and following specific style guides (SAGE Harvard). Use this tool immediately before the final upload to ensure submission compliance.

This skill polishes academic review essays to match the authoritative, argument-forward voice required by top-tier journals (e.g., PiHG). It ensures the prose advances a central thesis rather than summarizing literature. Key functions include enforcing journal format constraints (e.g., SAGE Harvard referencing, short unstructured abstract), adhering to word count caps, and transforming descriptive text into a critical, synthetic intervention.

Provides expert guidance on structuring scholarly essays for major academic publications like PMLA. It helps writers organize complex arguments, ensuring a clear, compelling flow from problem statement to conclusion for a generalist academic readership. Essential for outlining or reorganizing sprawling drafts while adhering to strict word counts (6,000–9,000 words).

This comprehensive guide provides the final preflight checklist for submitting academic manuscripts to PMLA via ScholarOne. It covers crucial guidelines including maintaining anonymity (blind review), verifying MLA membership eligibility, adhering to strict word counts, applying the latest MLA style, and properly disclosing any AI-generated content before final submission.

A comprehensive guide for crafting the PNAS-style scientific abstract. It details the required structure (single paragraph, ~250 words), the five-move narrative flow (Context, Gap, Approach, Results, Implication), and the critical distinction between the technical Abstract (What/How/Found) and the Significance Statement (Why it matters). Learn how to write accessible, quantified, and self-contained science summaries.

This guide teaches how to write the mandatory PNAS Significance Statement. It is a critical communication skill, requiring the author to distill complex scientific work into a short, non-technical paragraph (≤120 words). The goal is to explain the broader scientific importance and societal impact of the research to a broad, educated, non-specialist audience, distinctly different from the technical abstract.

This guide details the mandatory structure and best practices for submitting research articles to PNAS. It covers the proper order of sections (Title, Abstract, Introduction, Results, Discussion, etc.), how to manage length budgets, correctly place Materials and Methods within the main text, and ensure accurate Classification and keywords are chosen at submission.
