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 Popdevr Transparency And DataUse when preparing the data-availability statement and reproducibility materials for a Population and Development Review (PDR, Wiley / Population Council) manuscript. PDR follows Wiley's data-sharing and research-integrity expectations — a data availability statement, ORCID, and reproducible, well-documented materials deposited in a FAIR repository (verify current policy). Covers restricted-data exemptions. Prepares the materials; it does not waive requirements.

thedixitjain Skill Ahr Argument DevelopmentUse when turning archival findings into a sustained historical argument for The American Historical Review (AHR). The AHR rewards a clear thesis that earns its claims from evidence while remaining alert to contingency and complexity. Builds the argument and its stakes; it does not gather new sources or fabricate evidence.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Amanthro Research DesignUse when defending the research design of an American Anthropologist (AA) manuscript — fieldwork and participant observation, interview and archival design for ethnographic/qualitative work, material/contextual analysis for archaeology, and appropriate lab/quantitative design for biological anthropology. AA judges each mode on its own terms with reflexivity. Strengthens the design; it does not write code or run fieldwork.
2 -

2 -
thedixitjain Skill Jae Contribution FramingUse when articulating the contribution of a Journal of Accounting and Economics (JAE) manuscript — stating explicitly what the paper teaches about accounting's economic role (information content, contracting, disclosure, standards) and why an economics-based result advances the positive-accounting literature beyond an incremental correlation.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Jar Contribution FramingUse when turning empirical results into an explicit contribution to accounting knowledge for a Journal of Accounting Research (JAR) manuscript — stating what we now know about how accounting information is produced, disclosed, audited, or used, and why it matters economically. Frames the contribution; it does not run the analysis (jar-data-analysis) or polish prose (jar-writing-style).
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Jbv Contribution FramingUse when turning results or a theory into an explicit contribution for the Journal of Business Venturing (JBV) — stating what new theory of the entrepreneurial phenomenon the paper delivers, its boundary conditions, and its multidisciplinary reach. Frames the claim; it does not build the mechanism (jbv-theory-development) or polish the prose (jbv-writing-style).
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Jcp Contribution FramingUse when sharpening the one-sentence contribution of a Journal of Consumer Psychology (JCP) manuscript so the novelty reads as a psychological PROCESS, not an effect.

thedixitjain Skill Jcrd Artifact Evaluation在为《计算机研究与发展》(Journal of Computer Research and Development, JCRD) 稿件准备代码与数据可用性材料时调用。本刊未设独立的会议式 artifact evaluation 徽章体系,本技能讲清这一现状,并给出可迁移的最佳实践:双盲评审下的匿名代码/数据托管、诚实的可用性说明、目录结构与 README、许可与合规、录用后实名永久化,以及专题稿件可能的补充材料约定。适用于把一份 JCRD 稿件的代码、数据集与实验脚本整理到审稿人可核验、见刊后可复现的可用性水平的场景。
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Jde Contribution FramingUse when sharpening the development-economics takeaway of a Journal of Development Economics (JDE) manuscript — the explicit "what this teaches about development" claim that an editor and referees can restate in one sentence. Frames the contribution; it is not a writing-polish pass.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Jedpsych Topic SelectionUse when deciding whether an educational-psychology project fits the Journal of Educational Psychology and which manuscript type to target. JEP wants original, primary psychological research on learning and instruction that matters for real educational settings; it does not typically publish single-instrument reliability/validity studies. Frames the question; it does not collect data.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Jel Literature SynthesisUse when systematically gathering, reading, and synthesizing a large body of economic research for a Journal of Economic Literature (JEL) survey — coverage discipline and avoiding citation gaps. Builds the evidence corpus and synthesis notes; it does not impose the analytical spine (jel-organizing-framework) or write prose.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Jel Organizing FrameworkUse when imposing an analytical structure or taxonomy on a literature for a Journal of Economic Literature (JEL) survey — the "spine" that turns a reading list into an argument about the field. Designs the framework; it does not gather the literature (jel-literature-synthesis) or judge balance (jel-comprehensiveness-and-balance).
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Jet Contribution FramingUse when framing the contribution of a Journal of Economic Theory (JET) paper so its theoretical advance is unmistakable — lead with the theorem, state why the result matters for the relevant theory, and right-size the claim to exactly what the proof delivers. For JET's theory-first bar; it does not overclaim.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Jhr Contribution FramingUse when sharpening the Journal of Human Resources (JHR) contribution claim around applied microeconomics, credible design-based evidence, public-policy relevance, magnitudes translated into natural human-capital units, and explicit reconciliation with prior published estimates.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Jie Contribution FramingUse to frame the contribution of a Journal of International Economics (JIE) manuscript so it clears the journal's gate that work be original in its motivation or modelling structure — articulating what is new for international trade or international macro/finance, for an audience split between the two halves of the field. Frames the "what's new"; it does not produce the results.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Jme Contribution FramingUse when sharpening the "what is new and why it matters for macro/policy" claim of a Journal of Monetary Economics (JME) manuscript — turning a result into a first-order monetary-economics contribution that clears a single-blind, two-referee, "up or out" process.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Jmgmt Theory DevelopmentUse when the theoretical argument is the bottleneck for a Journal of Management (JOM) manuscript — building constructs, mechanisms, boundary conditions, and a priori hypotheses (or a review's organizing framework). Constructs the theory; it does not run the analysis (jmgmt-data-analysis) or write the contribution paragraph (jmgmt-contribution-framing).
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Joe Contribution FramingUse when a Journal of Econometrics (JoE) manuscript has a correct result but fails to articulate why it matters to econometrics. Frames the methodological contribution as a general, reusable advance rather than a narrow technical fix.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Jom Contribution FramingUse when articulating the theoretical and practical contribution of a Journal of Operations Management (JOM) manuscript — stating what new OM theory the study delivers, why operations is central to the contribution, and what it means for operations managers, in the intro and discussion.
2 -

thedixitjain Skill Journal Of Power SourcesUse when targeting Journal of Power Sources or deciding whether an electrochemical-power-device manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, the device-and-electrochemistry contribution bar, cell-level performance and diagnostics rigor, house style, the device-vs-materials routing, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Journal Of World EconomyUse when targeting 《世界经济》(The Journal of World Economy) — the CASS flagship for international / open-economy economics. Apply to open-economy macro, international trade, international finance, exchange rates, FDI, global value chains, and "China's opening-up" empirical work, or to reframe a closed-economy paper toward its international-lens house style.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Jwe Transmission ChannelUse when a 《世界经济》 (The Journal of World Economy) manuscript stops at "it promoted exports" without showing how an external shock propagates — making the trade / investment / financial / expectation channel explicit and testable, not a hand-wavy mechanism paragraph.
