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 Fcr Topic SelectionUse when deciding whether an agronomy or crop-science project fits Field Crops Research (FCR) and which article type to target. FCR's defining test is field-based agronomic significance with multi-season/-environment relevance — it rejects controlled-environment-only, single-site single-season, horticultural/woody-perennial, and corroborative/descriptive/local-only work. Helps frame the question; it does not collect data.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Fse Author ResponseUse when drafting ESEC/FSE author responses, covering the initial-review rebuttal and — distinctively — the journal-style Major Revision response letter that must stay double-anonymous, map every reviewer request to a concrete tracked change, and survive re-review by the original reviewers under PACMSE.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Fse Topic SelectionUse when deciding whether a software-engineering project belongs at ESEC/FSE or should be routed to ICSE, ASE, ISSTA, MSR, ICSME, or an SE journal (EMSE/TSE/TOSEM), and when distinguishing FSE from its sibling general-SE flagship ICSE by contribution shape, evidence maturity, and the PACMSE journal-style fit.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Hri ReproducibilityUse when building the openness and replicability story for an ACM/IEEE HRI full paper — sharing study materials, robot-behavior specifications, de-identified data, and analysis code; reporting Wizard-of-Oz and pre-registration; and stating honestly what can and cannot be reproduced in an embodied human-subjects study.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Icalp SupplementaryUse when splitting an ICALP (EATCS) theory paper between the 15-page main body and the clearly labelled appendix / full version — deciding what a referee must see in the body versus what may be deferred, ensuring every deferred proof is actually present and findable, and keeping the split consistent with lightweight double-blind review.
2 -
brycewang-stanford Skill Icde Review ProcessUse when explaining or planning around IEEE ICDE peer review: the two-round-per-edition structure, area-chair-coordinated assignment with at least three reviewers, two-phase reviewing with a possible Revise & Resubmit, single-blind dynamics, how a builder-heavy committee reads a systems paper, and how outcomes feed IEEE Xplore.
1k -
thedixitjain Skill Ijoc Review ProcessUse when calibrating expectations for the INFORMS Journal on Computing (IJOC) review cycle — the Area-Editor desk-reject gate, the undisclosed associate editor, single-blind reviewing, decision types, and whether a sibling journal fits better. Sets expectations and strategy; it does not draft the rebuttal (see ijoc-rebuttal).
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Ijoc Tables FiguresUse when the computational exhibits — performance profiles, runtime-vs-size plots, and results tables — are dense, misleading, or do not answer the question for an INFORMS Journal on Computing (IJOC) manuscript. Designs exhibits that make the computational claim legible; it does not generate the underlying results.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Imf Economic ReviewUse when targeting IMF Economic Review or deciding whether an international macro / finance manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, framing, method-and-evidence bar, house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Isr Topic SelectionUse when shaping or sanity-checking a research question for Information Systems Research (ISR) — testing sociotechnical, intradisciplinary fit, IT-artifact centrality, the level(s) of analysis, and whether the question belongs at ISR versus MISQ, JMIS, or Management Science. Locks the question and genre; it does not build the mechanism (isr-theory-development).
2 -
thedixitjain Bundle It Manager HospitalWorld-class Hospital IT Management Advisor specializing in clinical safety, digital maturity (HIMSS/ONA/JCI), and HIS/PEP ecosystems.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Jaar Review ProcessUse to understand how the Journal of the American Academy of Religion (JAAR) evaluates a manuscript — editor pre-screening for broad significance, double-blind review, a roughly 90% rejection rate, a months-long timeline, and a commissioned-only book-review section. Sets expectations and shapes the article to survive; it does not contact editors.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Jae Topic SelectionUse when choosing or sharpening a research question for the Journal of Accounting and Economics (JAE) — testing economics-based fit, distinguishing JAE from JAR/TAR/RAST, and ensuring the question is about accounting's economic role rather than a normative or behavioral puzzle.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Jais Review ProcessUse when calibrating expectations for the Journal of the Association for Information Systems (JAIS) editorial process — the developmental, Senior-Editor-led, double-blind review; how the seven-category routing works; what a JAIS decision letter means; and when to engage the journal's developmental culture. Sets expectations and reads decisions; it does not draft the response (jais-rebuttal) or run the submission preflight (jais-submission).
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Jais Tables FiguresUse when building the exhibits of a Journal of the Association for Information Systems (JAIS) manuscript — tables, figures, the required SEM correlation/covariance matrix, and theory diagrams — so the body remains a self-contained, APA-styled document. Makes exhibits answer the question; it does not write surrounding prose (jais-writing-style) or run the analysis (jais-data-analysis).
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Jape Review ProcessUse when navigating the Journal of Applied Econometrics (JAE) editorial process — single-blind peer review by anonymous reviewers in addition to the Editor, with final accept/reject authority vested in the Editor-in-Chief, plus the three-papers-under-review cap and the rule that rejected papers are not resubmittable unless invited.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Jape Tables FiguresUse when building tables and figures for a Journal of Applied Econometrics (JAE) manuscript under the hard 35-page article limit — keeping core exhibits in the main text while pushing extended results into the unlimited online appendix, and ensuring every exhibit is regeneratable for the JAE Data Archive.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Jar Topic SelectionUse when choosing or sharpening a research question for a Journal of Accounting Research (JAR) manuscript — testing whether it is a real accounting question with a credible setting, JAR fit, and identification potential before any data work begins. Locks the question; it does not build the mechanism (jar-theory-development) or design the test (jar-methods).
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Jbes Tables FiguresUse when designing the simulation tables and figures for a Journal of Business & Economic Statistics (JBES) methods paper so size, power, coverage, and the empirical results are legible to both statisticians and applied economists. Improves exhibits; it does not change results.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Jbv Topic SelectionUse when shaping or stress-testing a research question for the Journal of Business Venturing (JBV) — confirming the entrepreneurial phenomenon is central, picking a multidisciplinary lens, and checking fit before investing in theory or data. Defines the question; it does not build the mechanism (jbv-theory-development) or frame the contribution (jbv-contribution-framing).

2 -
thedixitjain Skill Jcp Topic SelectionUse when deciding whether a consumer phenomenon belongs at the Journal of Consumer Psychology (JCP) versus a sibling, and which JCP manuscript type fits, before theory and studies are locked. Sets scope and outlet fit; it does not build the mechanism (jcp-theory-development).
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Jcr Topic SelectionUse when shaping or stress-testing a research question for the Journal of Consumer Research (JCR) — confirming it is a genuine consumer-behavior question with a conceptual contribution, and that JCR (not JCP, JMR, or JM) is the right venue.
2 -

2 -
thedixitjain Skill Jde Topic SelectionUse when judging whether a research question fits the Journal of Development Economics (JDE) — a first-order question about low- and middle-income economies and the process of economic development. Tests topic fit before identification or drafting begins.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Jebo IdentificationUse when the design that isolates a behavioral mechanism is the bottleneck for a Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization (JEBO) manuscript — lab/field experiment, observational causal design, or simulation. Stress-tests experimental and observational identification to JEBO's behavioral-credibility bar; it does not write prose or build the deposit.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Jebo Tables FiguresUse when a Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization (JEBO) manuscript's exhibits must make a behavioral comparison legible — treatment bar charts, by-round dynamics, distribution plots, regression tables. Builds exhibits that show the mechanism; it does not run the analysis or write the prose.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Jeea Tables FiguresUse when building or revising tables and figures for a Journal of the European Economic Association (JEEA) manuscript so exhibits read clean for a general-interest audience and respect JEEA house norms. Shapes exhibits; it does not change the underlying estimates.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Jeem IdentificationUse when the identification argument is the bottleneck for a Journal of Environmental Economics and Management (JEEM) manuscript — an environmental-policy causal design, a climate/weather IV, or a revealed- or stated-preference valuation. Stress-tests the data-to-welfare mapping before exhibits are finalized; it does not invent evidence or citations.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Jeem Tables FiguresUse when the exhibits of a Journal of Environmental Economics and Management (JEEM) manuscript — regression tables, event-study plots, maps, WTP/demand-curve figures — do not yet show the environmental signal cleanly. Designs publication-grade exhibits in JEEM/Elsevier house style; it does not run the analysis (jeem-robustness) or write the prose (jeem-writing-style).
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Jel Editor StrategyUse when working with the editor and referees of a Journal of Economic Literature (JEL) survey — scope negotiation, what survey referees evaluate, and revision expectations. Plans the interaction; it does not run the submission preflight (jel-submission) or draft the response letter (jel-revision).
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Jel Topic SelectionUse when judging whether a literature is a Journal of Economic Literature (JEL)-scale survey topic — mature, important, and genuinely in need of synthesis — rather than a narrow review. Decides fit and frames the survey's animating question; it does not gather or synthesize the literature (that is jel-literature-synthesis).
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Jep Topic SelectionUse when deciding whether a topic is right for the Journal of Economic Perspectives (JEP) — broadly interesting, timely, and synthesizable for non-specialists — rather than a narrow research contribution. Judges venue fit; it does not draft the article or the proposal.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Jet Topic SelectionUse when testing whether a project clears the Journal of Economic Theory (JET) scope gate — a rigorous, original theoretical contribution in a core theory area, with empirical/computational work only when firmly grounded in theory.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Jfe Topic SelectionUse when scoping or framing a topic for a Journal of Financial Economics (JFE) manuscript and you need to test fit and contribution before investing in data work. Pressure-tests the question and contribution; it does not write the literature review or design the empirics.
