Research & Search
Research agent skills teach AI agents to gather and synthesize information properly: literature reviews, competitive analysis, web research with citations, and structured summaries. Each SKILL.md encodes a method, not just a prompt, so results stay consistent across runs.
-
thedixitjain Skill Jme Tables FiguresUse when designing the main-text exhibits of a Journal of Monetary Economics (JME) manuscript under the strict 40-page / no-more-than-10-tables-and-figures-combined cap — impulse-response plots, FEVDs, moment tables — and deciding what to push to the online supplementary appendix.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Jmf Review ProcessUse to understand how the Journal of Marriage and Family (JMF) evaluates a manuscript — double-blind anonymous peer review, editor and reviewer roles (typically three reviewers, ~21-day review window), the revise-and-resubmit pathway, and what triggers desk handling. Sets expectations and shapes the paper to survive review; it does not contact editors.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Jms Review ProcessUse when you need to understand or set expectations for the Journal of Management Studies (JMS) editorial and peer-review process — desk screening, double-blind developmental review, and reading a decision letter. Explains the process and how to read decisions; it does not draft the response letter (jms-rebuttal).
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Joc Review ProcessUse to understand how the Journal of Communication (JoC) evaluates a manuscript — double-anonymous review, editorial screening for fit, external review by two or three referees, decision categories, and editor discretion. Sets expectations and shapes the paper to survive review; it does not contact editors.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Joc Tables FiguresUse when building tables and figures for a Journal of Communication (JoC) manuscript so exhibits are self-contained, accessible, APA-formatted, and counted toward the page budget correctly. JoC's 35-page limit includes tables and figures, so exhibits must earn their space. Designs exhibits; it does not run the analysis.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Joe Review ProcessUse to understand and navigate the Journal of Econometrics (JoE) editorial process — single-anonymized review, editor screening before a minimum of two referees, the three submission tracks (Regular/Annals/Themed), Guest Associate Editors, and what referees of a methods paper look for.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Joe Tables FiguresUse when building the Monte Carlo tables and theory-illustrating figures for a Journal of Econometrics (JoE) manuscript. Covers size/power table conventions, estimator-comparison layout, and figures that make asymptotic and finite-sample behavior legible.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Jom Review ProcessUse when understanding how Journal of Operations Management (JOM) evaluates submissions — the Department-routed structure, the asymmetric double-anonymous review, the Empirical Research Methods method check, and how to read a JOM decision letter before or after submitting.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Jom Tables FiguresUse when building or cleaning the exhibits for a Journal of Operations Management (JOM) empirical manuscript — correlation/descriptive tables, regression/SEM result tables, interaction plots, process/intervention figures — in APA-consistent, self-explanatory house style.

thedixitjain Skill Jonc Supplementary当为《通信学报》(Journal on Communications, JOC) 稿件划分正文与附录/补充材料/多媒体附件时调用;用于在 Journal on Communications 约 12000 字符篇幅约束下控制正文信息密度。指导用"决定性"标准判断哪些内容(关键推导、主实验、核心算法)必须进正文,哪些(冗长证明、超参搜索、额外场景、大表、演示视频、数据集说明)宜放附录或补充材料,兼顾本刊约 12000 字符的篇幅约束与外审复核创新性/正确性的需要,规范补充材料的编号、引用与可获取性说明,帮助把一篇通信/网络/信息安全/信号处理方向的中文长文的篇幅与信息密度控制到既完整又不臃肿、经得起本刊格式与篇幅审查的程度。
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Jop Review ProcessUse to understand how The Journal of Politics (JOP) evaluates a manuscript — double-blind review, desk screening for fit and general interest, an efficiency-minded review process, and acceptance that is contingent on replicability checked by a JOP replication analyst. Sets expectations and shapes the paper to survive review; it does not contact editors.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Jop Tables FiguresUse when designing tables and figures for a The Journal of Politics (JOP) manuscript. JOP counts pages (not words) and includes tables and figures in the page limit, so exhibits must be self-contained, legible, regenerated by code, and economical with space. Designs exhibits; it does not run analyses.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Jos Review Process当你要理解《软件学报》(Journal of Software, JOS) 的审稿流程、稿件状态含义与作者可施力点时使用。覆盖在线投稿系统的状态链(投稿→领域/责任编委初审→外审→复审→主编终审→修回→定稿→录用)、多轮修回机制、6 个月内通知结果的时序、专刊评审差异、以及每个阶段作者能做什么,帮助你在《软件学报》(Journal of Software) 的中文同行评审各环节把握节奏与预期,不误判稿件状态。

2 -
thedixitjain Skill Journal Of The AcmUse when targeting the Journal of the ACM (JACM) or deciding whether a theoretical computer science manuscript fits this most-prestigious broad CS-theory venue. Encodes the journal's fit, framing, proof-and-rigor bar, house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Jru IdentificationUse when identifying a risk or uncertainty parameter is the bottleneck for a Journal of Risk and Uncertainty (JRU) manuscript — incentive-compatible elicitation in an experiment, or structural/empirical estimation of risk preferences, VSL, or insurance demand. Stress-tests how the data pin the primitive; it does not invent evidence or citations.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Jru Tables FiguresUse when exhibits for a Journal of Risk and Uncertainty (JRU) manuscript must make choice patterns and risk-parameter estimates legible. Improves tables and figures for a risk/uncertainty audience; it does not invent evidence or citations.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Jue IdentificationUse when the spatial identification argument is the bottleneck for a Journal of Urban Economics (JUE) manuscript — boundary discontinuity, shift-share/Bartik, historical or geographic IV, place-based DiD, or mobility experiment. Stress-tests the spatial design against sorting, spillovers, and spatial-autocorrelation confounds before exhibits are finalized.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Jue Tables FiguresUse when the exhibits of a Journal of Urban Economics (JUE) manuscript must make the spatial pattern visible — maps, event-study plots, RD/boundary figures, and clean regression tables. Designs the spatial exhibits a JUE referee expects; it does not run the analysis (jue-robustness) or write the prose (jue-writing-style).
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Jwe Tables FiguresUse when finalizing the main tables and figures of a 《世界经济》 (The Journal of World Economy) manuscript — trimming over-wide regression tables, standardizing notes / clustering / significance, and presenting open-economy-specific objects (event-study plots, gravity tables, GVC decompositions). Use after results are settled.
2 -
brycewang-stanford Skill Kdd Review ProcessUse when reasoning about how KDD papers get judged in its dual-cycle OpenReview process: per-review rebuttal, area-chair recommendations weighed on merit through reproducibility and ethics, PC-chair decisions, the Resubmit outcome feeding the next cycle, the mixed academic-industry reviewer pool, and generative-AI review rules.
1k -
thedixitjain Skill Linguistic InquiryUse when targeting Linguistic Inquiry (MIT Press) or deciding whether a generative-linguistics manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit in generative syntax and its interfaces, the formal-analysis bar, squib format, house style, glossing and double-blind norms, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Micro Camera ReadyUse when a MICRO paper is accepted and the camera-ready is due — the nine-week July-to-September window in the 2026 cycle, de-anonymization and acknowledgments restoration, keeping the all-author reference rule, integrating rebuttal promises, the optional post-AE artifact appendix, and IEEE/ACM publication logistics.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Mobisys SubmissionUse when auditing a MobiSys submission for HotCRP readiness — the paper-registration prerequisite, the single December UTC deadline, the 12-page double-column body including figures and tables, double-blind anonymity including device and trace giveaways, desk-reject triggers, and final-week submission sequencing.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Mw Topic SelectionUse when a Management-World manuscript is at the topic-selection stage and the China-context fit, marginal-contribution sentence, or venue match are unsettled. Produces the contribution-sentence template and the China-context fit checklist.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Naacl Camera ReadyUse when converting a paper accepted to NAACL Main or Findings into its final ACL Anthology version — merging promised revisions, restoring identity and community acknowledgements, applying the extra-page allowance, fixing Anthology metadata, and planning presentation logistics for an Americas host city.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Ndss SupplementaryUse when dividing an NDSS paper between the 13-page body, the Ethics Considerations section, references, and appendices — deciding what reviewers must see in-body, what the page-limit exclusions really buy, and how the camera-ready gains a 2-page artifact appendix.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Ors Tables FiguresUse when building the exhibits for an Operations Research (OR) manuscript — theorem/assumption layout, comparison tables against prior work, computational-results tables, and convergence/scaling plots in INFORMS house style. Lays out exhibits; it does not generate the numbers (ors-data-analysis) or prove the results (ors-methods).
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Osdi SupplementaryUse when deciding where OSDI content lives given the no-appendix submission rule — triaging material between the 12-page reviewed body, the 14-page-plus-appendices final paper, and the public artifact, since OSDI (unlike appendix-friendly venues) reviews nothing outside the body.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Podc SupplementaryUse when deciding what goes in the first 10 read-guaranteed pages of an ACM PODC submission versus the full version / appendix, and when choosing between a regular paper and a Brief Announcement — so that nothing which decides acceptance lives past page 10 and every deferred proof remains reachable.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Poq Review ProcessUse to understand how Public Opinion Quarterly (POQ) evaluates a manuscript — double-blind review via ScholarOne Manuscripts, typically two to three referees, the survey-methodology and AAPOR-disclosure bar reviewers apply, and how associate editors may request code/data during review. Sets expectations and shapes the paper to survive review; it does not contact editors.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Psci Data AnalysisUse when analyzing and reporting results for a Psychological Science manuscript. The journal requires effect sizes with confidence intervals, full disclosure of exclusions/conditions/measures, and a clear confirmatory/exploratory split, with analysis scripts and data shared. Guides analysis norms; it does not fabricate results.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Psychbull WorkflowUse as the entry point for any Psychological Bulletin manuscript. Routes to the right psychbull sub-skill based on where you are in the research-synthesis lifecycle and which synthesis type (meta-analysis, systematic review, meta-review/meta-synthesis, qualitative review) fits. Psychological Bulletin publishes syntheses, not original studies — it dispatches; it does not draft content.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Qje IdentificationUse when the causal identification strategy is the bottleneck for a Quarterly Journal of Economics (QJE) manuscript — RCT, staggered DID, IV, RDD, event study. Stress-tests the design to the QJE general-interest bar before tables are drafted.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Science ImmunologyUse when targeting Science Immunology (Sci Immunol) or deciding whether an immunology manuscript fits this AAAS specialist venue. Encodes the journal's fit, framing, method-and-evidence bar, house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Scientific WritingThis is the core skill for the deep research and writing tool—combining AI-driven deep research with well-formatted written outputs. Every document produced is backed by comprehensive literature search and verified citations through the research-lookup skill.
