Marketing & Growth

brycewang-stanford Skill

Use when deciding which jm-* sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing manuscript work from topic selection through rebuttal for a Journal of Marketing (JM) manuscript. Routes — it does not replace — the specialized skills.

brycewang-stanford Skill

Use when positioning a Mind article against the existing philosophical literature so the thesis reads as a genuine move in a live debate. Mind readers are expert across analytic philosophy, so the paper must engage the canonical and current statements of the view it targets, not a strawman. Stakes the contribution; it does not write the literature section for you.

brycewang-stanford Skill

Use when judging whether a result is general, deep, and method-driven enough to belong in Econometrica, and when sharpening the contribution statement. Diagnoses fit and frames the contribution — it does not write proofs (use ecta-theory-model) or position against the literature (use ecta-literature-positioning).

brycewang-stanford Skill

Use when preparing to submit a Marketing Science manuscript through ScholarOne — blinding for double-anonymous review, choosing the track (regular / Frontiers / Database / Practice), assembling the replication package, the cover letter, preferred AEs/reviewers, and the optional Open Option. Preflight only; it does not interpret decisions (mksc-review-process).

brycewang-stanford Skill

Use when running the final pre-submission preflight for a Journal of Marketing (JM) manuscript — the ScholarOne (Sage Track) portal, double-anonymized formatting, the 50-page inclusive limit, exact-statistic reporting, the Data Availability Statement, and the JM Dataverse plan. Checks readiness to submit; it does not handle the post-decision response (jm-rebuttal).

brycewang-stanford Skill

Use when positioning an ACM SIGMETRICS submission against the performance-evaluation literature across SIGMETRICS/POMACS, Performance Evaluation, QUESTA, TON, and the systems/learning/measurement neighbors (NSDI/OSDI, IMC, NeurIPS/ICML), writing delta-first contrast rather than a citation catalog, keeping self-citations double-anonymous, and handling concurrent and prior-version overlap.

brycewang-stanford Skill

Use when positioning an INTERSPEECH paper in the literature — tracing lineage through the ISCA Archive and its DOIs, covering the ICASSP/ASRU/SLT sibling circuit and challenge series, handling the speech-versus-NLP crossover canon, citing corpora properly, and avoiding the venue misattributions speech reviewers notice instantly.

brycewang-stanford Skill

Use when estimating and validating the model for a Marketing Science manuscript — running structural estimation (GMM/MLE/SMM/Bayes), checking identification empirically, assessing model fit, computing counterfactuals, and preparing the replication package. Executes the analysis; it does not design the model (mksc-theory-development) or choose the genre (mksc-methods).

brycewang-stanford Skill

Use when polishing the prose of a Marketing Science manuscript — front-loading model intuition before notation, managing the formal apparatus for readability, and following INFORMS author-year style and formatting. Late-stage polish; do not invoke while the model or identification is still unsettled.

brycewang-stanford Skill

Use when responding to reviewer and editorial-board reports for an 《经济研究》 (Economic Research Journal) R&R — sequencing manuscript revision before letter writing, drafting point-by-point replies in the accept / partial-accept / decline modes, prioritizing 编委 theory-positioning comments, and deciding whether new results go in the body or an appendix. 使用时机：收到《经济研究》外审或编委意见、准备修订正文并撰写逐条回复信、或多轮修改中回复与正文出现不一致时。

brycewang-stanford Skill

Use when running and reporting the statistical analysis for a Journal of Marketing (JM) manuscript — the right estimator for a big-tent design, JM's exact p-value / standard-error / effect-size reporting mandate, identification and robustness, and the JM Dataverse replication packet. Executes and reports the analysis; it does not design the study (jm-methods) or frame the contribution (jm-contribution-framing).

brycewang-stanford Skill

Use when polishing the prose of a Journal of Marketing (JM) manuscript — front-loading the substantive argument, writing for a general managerial-and-scholarly audience, and conforming to AMA author-date house style and formatting. Polishes the writing; it does not build the contribution (jm-contribution-framing) or run the submission preflight (jm-submission).

brycewang-stanford Skill

Use when deciding which jwe-* sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing manuscript work from open-economy positioning through rebuttal for 《世界经济》 (The Journal of World Economy). Routes — does not replace — the specialized skills, and cross-refers to economic-research / china-economic-quarterly / journal-of-financial-research / china-industrial-economics when the paper is really domestic.

brycewang-stanford Skill

Use when understanding how Marketing Science evaluates a manuscript — the double-anonymous Senior-Editor / Associate-Editor routing, what the first-pass and review look for, and how to read a decision letter. Explains the process; it does not draft the revision response (mksc-rebuttal).

brycewang-stanford Skill

Use when building the exhibits for a Marketing Science manuscript — estimate tables, model-fit tables, comparative-statics figures, and counterfactual/policy-simulation exhibits in INFORMS house style. Designs the exhibits; it does not run the estimation (mksc-data-analysis) or write the prose (mksc-writing-style).

brycewang-stanford Skill

Use when understanding how Journal of Marketing (JM) review and decisions work — the double-anonymized process, the Coeditor structure, the substantive-and-relevance evaluation bar, and how to read a decision letter. Explains the process and reads the letter; it does not draft the response (jm-rebuttal).

brycewang-stanford Skill

Use when building the tables and figures for a Journal of Marketing (JM) manuscript — exact-statistic result tables, interaction/mechanism plots, and managerial-takeaway exhibits in AMA house style, all counting against the 50-page limit. Finalizes exhibits; it does not run the analysis (jm-data-analysis) or polish the prose (jm-writing-style).

brycewang-stanford Skill

Use when choosing or sharpening the research question for a Marketing Science manuscript — testing whether a marketing problem is important AND admits a formal model (structural or analytical), and whether Marketing Science (not JCR/JMR/Management Science) is the right venue.

brycewang-stanford Skill

Use when scoping or sanity-checking the research question for a Research Policy (RP) manuscript — deciding whether it is a genuine innovation-studies question RP owns versus an economics/strategy paper that will desk-reject as out of scope. Frames the question; it does not build the theory (respol-theory-development) or stake the gap (respol-literature-positioning).

brycewang-stanford Skill

Use when positioning a USENIX Security Symposium paper against prior work — covering the Big-Four security venues plus specialty conferences, handling concurrent submissions across the multi-cycle calendar, citing your own work double-blind, and using USENIX's open-access proceedings for verification.

brycewang-stanford Skill

Use when judging whether a manuscript's landing point is an ACCOUNTING issue (accounting information / disclosure / audit / standards) versus a corporate-finance mechanism, before drafting for 《会计研究》 (Accounting Research). Use this to decide fit and to re-route finance-mechanism papers to a finance journal before any other acr-* skill.

brycewang-stanford Skill

Use when positioning a Criminology (ASC / Wiley) manuscript against the literature so it reads as a contribution to the field's live debates, not a citation pile. Criminology readers expect engagement with the relevant theoretical tradition and the closest prior empirical work across the field's many disciplines. Stakes the contribution; it does not write the lit review.

brycewang-stanford Skill

Use when positioning a Demography (PAA / Duke University Press) manuscript against the population-science literature so it reads as a contribution of general interest to demographers. Demography readers span fertility, mortality, migration, family, and health, so the paper must engage the demographic literatures they expect. Stakes the contribution; it does not write the lit review.

brycewang-stanford Skill

Use when responding after a Journal of Economic Growth revise-and-resubmit to organize responses about growth mechanisms, model assumptions, empirical identification, calibration sensitivity, data availability, and Springer revision files.

brycewang-stanford Skill

Use when orienting and sequencing a full manuscript lifecycle for the Journal of Economic Growth (JEG) — a specialist Springer Nature outlet for economic growth and dynamic macroeconomics spanning theory and empirics. Routes to the other eleven jeg skills and branches by paper type.

brycewang-stanford Skill

Use when choosing or sharpening a research question for the Journal of Marketing (JM) — testing whether it is substantive, managerially/societally relevant, and JM-fit (vs. JMR, Marketing Science, or JCR). Locks the question; it does not build the conceptual logic (jm-theory-development) or frame the contribution (jm-contribution-framing).

brycewang-stanford Skill

Use when deciding whether a problem is a fit for Operations Research (OR) and which of its editorial areas it belongs to — testing for a genuine OR/MS methodological contribution and picking the correct area before formulating. Scopes and routes the problem; it does not build the model (ors-theory-development) or position it in the literature (ors-literature-positioning).

brycewang-stanford Skill

Use when positioning a Social Forces (SF) manuscript against the literature so it reads as a contribution to a general social-science audience. Because SF caps the manuscript at 10,000 words including the reference list, positioning must be sharp and economical. Stakes the contribution; it does not write the lit review.

brycewang-stanford Skill

Use when positioning a Web Conference (WWW) submission against prior literature — tracing lineage through three decades of WWW proceedings, contrasting with the WSDM/CIKM/SIGIR/KDD sibling circuit, handling the venue's preprint-non-citation rule, and budgeting references against the shared 12-page PDF tail.

brycewang-stanford Skill

Use when locating an Econometrica result precisely within the methods / theory lineage it extends, and when writing the related-work paragraphs that pre-empt "how does this differ from X?" Builds the positioning — it does not judge overall fit (use ecta-topic-selection) or state the theorem (use ecta-theory-model).

brycewang-stanford Skill

Use when shaping or stress-testing a research question for Management Science (INFORMS) — confirming the decision-relevance bar, choosing the right Department lane (analytical vs empirical), and testing fit against sister INFORMS journals (Operations Research, M&SOM, Marketing Science) so the paper is not desk-rejected as "better suited elsewhere".

brycewang-stanford Skill

Use when positioning a World Politics manuscript against the comparative-politics and international-relations literatures so it reads as a contribution that travels across cases. World Politics expects engagement with both theoretical and substantive literatures; the move is to locate the paper in a live cross-case debate, not a single-country conversation. Stakes the contribution; it does not write the lit review.

brycewang-stanford Skill

Use when building or repairing the literature review for 《会计研究》 (Accounting Research) — entering the accounting research lineage (earnings quality, conservatism, audit quality, disclosure, value relevance) rather than piling recent Chinese empirical citations, and positioning the gap as an accounting contribution.

brycewang-stanford Skill

Use to situate a Critical Inquiry (CI) essay within the conversations it enters across the arts and humanities. CI is interdisciplinary, so positioning means naming the critical and theoretical debates the essay joins — across literature, art, film, philosophy, politics, history — and the precise place where it intervenes, not a discipline-internal literature review. Frames the stakes; it does not write the prose.

brycewang-stanford Skill

Use when deciding whether a question is right for an IMF Economic Review (IMFER) manuscript — international macro-finance with genuine policy relevance and an IMF-program or global-institution audience. Tests fit and scope; it does not run the identification (imfer-identification) or stake the contribution (imfer-literature-positioning).

brycewang-stanford Skill

Use when running the final Journal of Economic Growth submission preflight through Springer Nature, including abstract length, title-page metadata, LaTeX or Word source files, declarations, data availability, and Open Choice fee checks.
