This guide helps researchers determine the suitability of their energy-related manuscripts for the Applied Energy journal. It shifts the focus from single-device performance or component novelty to generalizable, systems-level insights. Key areas include energy-systems modeling, decarbonization pathways, techno-economic analysis (TEA), life cycle assessment (LCA), and assessing integrated energy transitions across sectors.

This guide provides a detailed strategy for responding to a Revise-and-Resubmit (R&R) decision for high-stakes academic journals. It teaches authors how to structure a persuasive cover letter, address conflicting reviewer demands, and reconcile feedback without weakening the paper's core contribution. Focuses on maintaining scholarly rigor and managing editor expectations.

A comprehensive preflight checklist for submitting manuscripts to the American Political Science Review (APSR). This guide emphasizes the critical steps for double-anonymous review, including stripping file metadata, properly anonymizing text to prevent author identification, and adhering to strict formatting rules (APSA Style, word counts, and abstract limits). Use this before uploading to Editorial Manager.

This tool serves as the central entry point and orchestrator for drafting an American Political Science Review (APSR) manuscript. It guides authors through the complex academic publishing lifecycle by determining the paper's specific track (e.g., Regular Article, Synthesis, Registered Report) and its current developmental stage (e.g., Idea, Theory, Data Analysis). It does not draft content; rather, it routes the user to the most relevant sub-skill for the next step in the writing process.

This guide provides comprehensive strategic advice for authors writing commissioned review articles for the Annual Review of Economics (ARE). It covers essential topics such as scope negotiation with the Editorial Committee, anticipating the rigorous criteria used by expert referees (e.g., completeness, balance, and framework), managing the author-editor relationship, and adhering to strict academic and production deadlines. It ensures the resulting work maintains the highest standards of rigor and scholarly balance.

This guide provides a comprehensive strategy for authors managing the complex production relationship with academic editors. It details how to proactively manage crucial elements such as scope fit, assigned length, strict deadlines, and potential overlaps. Use this when an invitation has been accepted and continuous coordination with the editorial and production teams is required to ensure timely and rigorous publication.

This guide details the critical process of revising a scholarly review article following feedback from journal editors or peer reviewers (e.g., ARPsych). It provides a structured methodology for addressing coverage gaps, ensuring balance, correcting inaccuracies, and maintaining the integrity of the manuscript's core argument (the 'spine'). It covers everything from point-by-point response letters to handling final copyediting queries.

This guide provides comprehensive strategic advice for authors contributing review articles to the Annual Review of Sociology (ARSoc). It covers how to negotiate the scope of the review with the Editorial Committee, anticipate the specific rigor checks performed by academic reviewers (e.g., completeness, balance, framework), and manage the complex production timeline. It is essential for ensuring the manuscript meets the high standards of academic rigor and balance required for top-tier sociological publications.

This skill guide teaches the specialized rhetorical and structural requirements for writing comprehensive academic reviews, particularly for high-impact fields like Sociology. It ensures the prose is authoritative, highly accessible to non-specialists, logically signposted, and culminates in a concrete, forward-looking research agenda, moving beyond simple summary.

This skill guides authors submitting art historical manuscripts to the Association for Art History journal. It assesses the fit by focusing on the manuscript's theoretical depth, methodological originality, critical engagement, and command of primary sources. It helps authors re-frame their work from mere description to an original argument with clear conceptual and historiographical stakes, ensuring compliance with top-tier academic publishing standards.

This skill guides the transformation of visual observations and documentary evidence into a sustained, contestable academic thesis, suitable for high-level scholarly publication. It teaches how to explicitly state a claim (the thesis), define its scholarly stakes, and rigorously warrant every interpretive leap using evidence chains and anticipating counter-readings. Use this when a draft is descriptive but lacks a clear, disputed argument.

This skill guides art historians on gathering, weighing, and citing non-visual, documentary, and material evidence for academic articles. It covers citing primary sources (archives, contracts), reconstructing provenance chains, interpreting technical reports, and ensuring that all scholarly claims are rigorously traceable to verifiable sources rather than mere assertion.
