Marketing & Growth

brycewang-stanford Skill

Use when placing an Operations Research (OR) manuscript against the OR/MS literature — separating your model, results, and algorithmic guarantees from the closest prior work so the novelty is unambiguous. Positions the contribution; it does not formulate the model (ors-theory-development) or write the contribution statement (ors-contribution-framing).

brycewang-stanford Skill

Use when results exist but the accounting contribution is thin or implicit for a The Accounting Review (TAR) manuscript — turning findings into an explicit statement of what the field now knows, with credible bounds and implications. Frames the contribution; it does not build the mechanism (tar-theory-development) or position against the literature (tar-literature-positioning).

brycewang-stanford Skill

Use when situating an Art Bulletin article in the historiography and scholarly literature of art history. The Art Bulletin expects engagement with prior interpretation, methods, and debates across the field, not just the literature on one object. Positions the contribution; it does not do the looking or the archival work.

brycewang-stanford Skill

Use when analyzing and reporting results for a Developmental Psychology (APA) manuscript. The journal expects analyses that model developmental change correctly — growth-curve/multilevel/SEM, mediation/moderation, measurement invariance — with effect sizes and confidence intervals, JARS-compliant disclosure, and a clear confirmatory/exploratory split. Guides analysis norms; it does not fabricate results.

brycewang-stanford Skill

Use when targeting Marketing Science or deciding whether a quantitative-marketing manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, framing, method-and-evidence bar, house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.

brycewang-stanford Skill

Use when positioning a Field Crops Research (FCR) manuscript against the agronomy and crop-science literature so it reads as a general contribution to field-crop science, not a local report. FCR requires new scientific insight of general relevance and rejects corroborative or merely descriptive work, so the literature must establish the gap and the agronomic stakes. Stakes the contribution; it does not write the lit review.

brycewang-stanford Skill

Use when responding to a Journal of International Marketing (JIM) decision letter — triaging reviewer demands, deciding whether to collect new-country data, and writing the point-by-point response. It manages the revision round; the upstream skills execute the actual fixes.

brycewang-stanford Skill

Use when starting or unblocking a Journal of International Marketing (JIM) manuscript and you need to pick the right jim-* sub-skill for the current stage, from first idea through the response letter. It routes to the specialist skills; it does not do their work.

brycewang-stanford Skill

Use when running and reporting the analysis for a Journal of Marketing Research (JMR) manuscript — selecting the estimator that matches the design, and meeting JMR's hard journal-level reporting mandate of exact p-values, standard errors, and effect sizes, plus replication-ready disclosure. Executes and reports; jmr-methods designs the study and jmr-contribution-framing states the payoff.

brycewang-stanford Skill

Use when polishing prose for a Journal of Marketing Research (JMR) manuscript — a third-person 200-word abstract, AMA author-year citations, the exact-statistics number conventions, and a front-loaded research argument that clears JMR's dual bar without drifting into managerial Journal-of-Marketing framing. Late-stage polish only.

brycewang-stanford Skill

Use when positioning a Management Science (INFORMS) manuscript in its literature — joining the right Department's conversation, citing canonical analytical and empirical work in author-year style, and making the cross-department contribution legible so a Department Editor sees both fit and novelty. It positions; it does not state the contribution sentences (mgsci-contribution-framing).

brycewang-stanford Skill

Use when writing or repairing the introduction and related-work framing for a The Economic Journal (EJ) manuscript — situating the contribution for a broad economics readership with author-date citations. Frames positioning and the intro arc; it does not run the empirics or build the model.

brycewang-stanford Skill

Use when positioning an Agricultural Systems (AgSy) manuscript against the literature so it reads as a systems contribution. AgSy readers span agronomy, modelling, livestock, economics, environment, and food-system science, so the paper must engage the systems and modelling literatures they expect — not only one subfield. Stakes the contribution; it does not write the lit review.

brycewang-stanford Skill

Use when building tables and figures for a Developmental Psychology (APA) manuscript. The journal uses APA 7th-edition style and rewards exhibits that make developmental change visible — trajectory plots, age-on-the-x-axis figures, model-implied growth curves — with effect sizes and uncertainty. Designs exhibits; it does not run the analysis.

brycewang-stanford Skill

Use when targeting Management Science (MS) or deciding whether an operations / finance / information-systems / marketing / decision-analysis / behavioral / strategy manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, framing, method-and-evidence bar, house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.

brycewang-stanford Skill

Use when positioning a Global Change Biology (GCB) manuscript in the literature so it reads as a global-change advance, not a local report. GCB readers span ecology, biogeochemistry, and Earth-system science, so the paper must engage the cross-system literatures it speaks to. Structures positioning; it does not fabricate citations.

brycewang-stanford Skill

Use when the contribution of an IMF Economic Review (IMFER) manuscript relative to the international-macro frontier and the sibling journals is unclear or undersold. Stakes the claim against JIE/JIMF/JMCB and the IMF research stream; it does not select the topic (imfer-topic-selection) or design identification (imfer-identification).

brycewang-stanford Skill

Use when understanding how the Journal of Marketing Research (JMR) review process works — initial editorial evaluation and possible desk rejection, double-anonymized review, the EIC-plus-Coeditor domain-routing model, the requirement of two independent reviews to reach a Revise/Accept decision, and how to read a JMR decision letter. Sets expectations; jmr-rebuttal drafts the response.

brycewang-stanford Skill

Use when building exhibits for a Journal of Marketing Research (JMR) manuscript — result tables, study-flow figures, interaction plots, and model summaries in AMA style, and deciding the split between main-text exhibits (inside the 50-page limit) and 'W'-prefixed Web Appendix exhibits (outside it). Enforces JMR's exact-statistics conventions inside every table.

brycewang-stanford Skill

Use to stake a Quantitative Economics (QE) manuscript's contribution against the frontier — what quantitative gap it closes relative to prior empirical, structural, and methodological work, and against its Econometric Society siblings. Positions the paper; it does not write a standalone literature survey.

brycewang-stanford Skill

Use when building or fixing the literature review for 《中国社会科学》 (Social Sciences in China) — entering the theoretical lineage (classic authors and schools) rather than piling up recent empirical citations, and positioning the paper as a move within an ongoing scholarly conversation. Use when references are a variable-list instead of a theory dialogue.

brycewang-stanford Skill

Use when articulating the original theoretical contribution for 《中国社会科学》 (Social Sciences in China) — turning empirical findings into a concept / proposition / analytical framework, and positioning the work within China's autonomous knowledge system (自主知识体系) rather than verifying imported theory. Use when the contribution still reads as "we find that X affects Y".

brycewang-stanford Skill

Use when the front end of a The Accounting Review (TAR) manuscript reads as gap-spotting or an incremental database extension — positioning the paper inside a live accounting conversation against the closest TAR/JAR/JAE/CAR work. Positions the contribution; it does not derive the mechanism (tar-theory-development) or write the contribution paragraph (tar-contribution-framing).

brycewang-stanford Skill

Use when scoping or sanity-checking a research question for an Academy of Management Journal (AMJ) manuscript — fit, theory-drivenness, and feasibility. Decides whether the idea can earn a theoretical contribution; it does not build the theory itself (use amj-theory-development) or position the literature (amj-literature-positioning).

brycewang-stanford Skill

Use to judge whether a manuscript fits 《金融研究》 (Journal of Financial Research) and to settle the line — macro-finance vs micro corporate-finance — re-routing to industrial-economics or accounting journals when the paper is not really a finance-mechanism paper.

brycewang-stanford Bundle

Use when running the final preflight for a Journal of International Marketing (JIM) submission — the ScholarOne portal, the two-file anonymized package, formatting caps, and declarations. It clears the runway; post-decision strategy belongs to jim-rebuttal.

brycewang-stanford Skill

Use when scoping or stress-testing whether a research question fits the Journal of Management Studies (JMS) — a phenomenon-grounded management-theory question, quantitative or qualitative. Decides fit and framing direction; it does not build the theory (jms-theory-development) or position the literature (jms-literature-positioning).

brycewang-stanford Skill

Use when testing whether a marketing question is a fit for the Journal of Marketing Research (JMR) — a methods-/modeling-forward AMA flagship — rather than the managerial Journal of Marketing, the analytical Marketing Science, or the consumer-theory JCR. Locks a question that can clear both JMR's rigor bar and its substantive-contribution bar.

brycewang-stanford Skill

Use when assessing whether a research question fits the Journal of Monetary Economics (JME) — monetary theory and policy, central banking, business cycles, growth, financial intermediation, fiscal interactions, and expectations — before investing in a model or estimation. Checks scope fit and the policy/conceptual payoff bar.

brycewang-stanford Skill

Use when positioning a Psychological Science manuscript against the literature within the journal's tight word budget. With roughly 40 references and a 2,000-word Introduction+Discussion, positioning must be sharp — establish the gap and the contribution fast. Stakes the contribution; it does not write the literature review.

brycewang-stanford Skill

Use when staking a World Development (WD) manuscript's contribution across the multidisciplinary development literature. Sharpens the gap and the claim; it does not invent evidence or citations.

brycewang-stanford Skill

Use when positioning a Conservation Biology manuscript against the literature so it reads as a novel, transferable contribution to conservation science. Conservation Biology readers span ecology, social science, and practice, so the paper must engage the relevant conservation literatures and state the gap precisely. Stakes the contribution; it does not write the literature review.

brycewang-stanford Skill

Use to stake an Econometric Theory (ET) contribution against the existing theory frontier — which assumptions you weaken, which limit result you generalize, what was previously unproven — using APA author-date citations, not a standalone literature survey.

brycewang-stanford Skill

Use when targeting Journal of Marketing (JM) or deciding whether a marketing manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, framing, method-and-evidence bar, house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.

brycewang-stanford Skill

Use when the contribution of a Financial Management (FM) manuscript relative to the published finance frontier is fuzzy, oversold, or indistinguishable from a specialist sibling. Stakes the marginal contribution and the sibling boundary; it does not run analysis or draft the intro prose.

brycewang-stanford Skill

Use when the contribution of a Journal of Econometrics (JoE) manuscript relative to the econometrics literature is fuzzy or undersold. Locates the paper precisely against the nearest estimators, tests, and asymptotic results so referees see the methodological delta.
