thedixitjain Skill Journal Of HydrologyUse when targeting Journal of Hydrology or deciding whether a hydrology manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, the broad process/observational/applied-hydrology contribution bar, data-and-reproducibility expectations, Elsevier house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Jpam Research DesignUse when defending the causal identification of a Journal of Policy Analysis and Management (JPAM) manuscript — RCTs, difference-in-differences / event study, regression discontinuity / kink, instrumental variables, and synthetic control for policy and program evaluation. Strengthens the design and its assumptions; it does not write estimation code.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Jpam Topic SelectionUse when judging whether a research idea fits the Journal of Policy Analysis and Management (JPAM) — a credibly evaluable policy or program question with a decision-relevant takeaway that reaches across economics, political science, and public management. Tests fit and sharpens the question; it does not design the study or run analysis.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Jpart Review ProcessUse to understand how the Journal of Public Administration Research and Theory (JPART) evaluates a manuscript — double-blind review, desk screening on theory and fit, the reject / R&R / accept decision categories, and the PMRA/OUP editorial context. Sets expectations and shapes the paper to survive review; it does not contact editors.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Jpsp Topic SelectionUse when judging whether a personality/social-psychology project fits the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology (JPSP) and — critically — which of the three independently edited sections (ASC, IRGP, PPID) it belongs to. Tests theoretical-contribution fit and section choice; it does not generate research ideas.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Jpube Review ProcessUse when you need to understand or plan around the Journal of Public Economics (JPubE / JPubEc) editorial process — single anonymized review with a minimum of two reviewers, the Editorial Manager workflow, the Hendren–Kopczuk editorial leadership, SSRN preprint option, and the one-appeal policy. Explains the process; for the final file check use jpube-submission.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Jpube Tables FiguresUse when designing the exhibits for a Journal of Public Economics (JPubE) manuscript — bunching density plots, event-study and RD/RKD graphs, incidence and distributional figures, and self-contained tables. Makes the public-finance design visible; it does not run the analysis (use jpube-data-analysis).
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Jqte Topic SelectionUse to sharpen a topic for 《数量经济技术经济研究》 (JQTE) — turning a vague empirical idea into a measurement / forecasting / method-application question with a clear quantitative object, a method-side novelty, and value for China's planning or technology decisions. Use before drafting, when the contribution shape is still fuzzy.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Jue Referee StrategyUse when anticipating the objections a Journal of Urban Economics (JUE) referee will raise before submission, so the manuscript pre-empts them. Maps the recurring JUE spatial pushbacks to where each is answered in the paper; it does not run the analysis or draft the response letter (jue-rebuttal).
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Kidney InternationalUse when targeting Kidney International or deciding whether a nephrology or hypertension clinical/translational study fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit with a global ISN perspective, the evidence and mechanistic bar, reporting-guideline and registration requirements, ISN house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics. Venue-fit aid only, not clinical advice.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Lang Research DesignUse when defending the empirical design of a Language (LSA) manuscript on the terms of its subfield — elicitation and fieldwork, corpus construction, phonetic measurement, experiment, or the diachronic/typological sample. Language judges each kind of evidence by its own standards, and the design must support the theoretical claim. Defends the design; it does not run the analysis.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Mgsci Review ProcessUse to understand how Management Science (INFORMS) review and decisions work — the Department/area-editor desk screen, double-anonymized refereeing, the cross-department fit bar, official turnaround targets, and how to read a decision letter — before or after submitting. It explains the process; it does not draft the response (mgsci-rebuttal).
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Mlsys Review ProcessUse when reasoning about how MLSys peer review works, covering the OpenReview workflow, the mixed ML-and-systems reviewer pool and how each half scores differently, the compressed response window, industrial-track review expectations, decision dynamics, and what the post-acceptance artifact stage means for review strategy.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Mobicom Camera ReadyUse when preparing an accepted MobiCom paper for publication — de-anonymizing into the double-column final version, discharging every rebuttal and revision promise, completing ACM rights and metadata, coordinating the artifact-badge timeline, and planning the in-person presentation for the Austin program.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Molecular PsychiatryUse when targeting Molecular Psychiatry (Mol Psychiatry) or deciding whether a biological psychiatry or translational neuroscience 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 Mw Literature Review用于撰写或修改《管理世界》稿件的文献综述章节,建立国际脉络—本土研究—本文位置的三层对话式结构。Use when 中英文文献配比失衡、综述写成罗列式而非对话式、缺关键中文经典综述(《管理世界》《经济研究》《中国工业经济》同主题积累)、或审稿人指出本土文献覆盖不足时使用。锚定《管理世界》国务院发展研究中心主办、管理学与经济学并重、国家战略导向的三层综述规范、中英文配比阈值与本刊审稿期待,确保综述与边际贡献四句式首尾呼应。 本技能服务于《管理世界》(Management World, MW)。

2 -
thedixitjain Skill New Literary HistoryUse when targeting New Literary History or deciding whether an essay on the theory, history, and method of literary study fits this venue. Encodes the journal's theory-of-literature fit, the conceptual-question bar, methodological-reflexivity expectations, house style and double-blind norms, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Newms Review ProcessUse when anticipating how a New Media & Society (NM&S) manuscript will be judged — anonymous (double-anonymized) peer review, what interdisciplinary referees weigh, and the decision categories. Sets expectations; it does not write the paper or the response letter.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Nsdi ReproducibilityUse when making an NSDI paper's results reconstructible — capturing testbed topology, trace provenance, and configuration while experiments run, planning which datasets can ship publicly, and keeping the paper and artifact from drifting apart so badge evaluation and the Community Award stay reachable.

2 -
thedixitjain Skill Pldi ReproducibilityUse when hardening a PLDI paper's measurements against the SIGPLAN Empirical Evaluation Guidelines — warmup and steady-state discipline, variance and confidence reporting, principled benchmark choice, pinned toolchains, cross-platform validity, and a measurement log that survives artifact evaluation.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Pods Author ResponseUse when drafting ACM PODS author responses, covering the short ~48-hour double-anonymous rebuttal that corrects misreadings of proofs and definitions, and — distinctively — the shepherded revision cover letter that maps every required item to a concrete change in the resubmitted paper and survives the shepherd's second read.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Pods ReproducibilityUse when strengthening the verifiability of an ACM PODS paper — a complete claim-to-proof map, self-contained proofs in the at-submission appendix (no external appendices), correctly stated assumptions, honest scope and open cases, the full-version-on-arXiv norm, and consistency between what the paper claims and what the proofs actually establish.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Popl ReproducibilityUse when making a POPL paper's results independently checkable — deciding which theorems to mechanize versus hand-prove, maintaining a paper-to-proof correspondence table from day one, keeping on-paper proofs auditable with explicit assumption tracking, and making any accompanying prototype's numbers regenerable.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Popl Topic SelectionUse when deciding whether a project is POPL-shaped — a principle about programming languages carried by definitions and theorems — or better aimed at PLDI's implementation bar, OOPSLA's breadth, ICFP's paradigm focus, or LICS, CAV, CPP, ESOP, and journal outlets, judged by what the decisive evidence is.
