Communication Research Skills

Agent skill stack for manuscripts targeted at Communication Research (CR), SAGE's quantitative, social-scientific communication journal (founded 1974; bimonthly; ISSN 0093-6502 print / 1552-3810 online), submitted via SAGE Track (ScholarOne) under double-anonymized review where two independent reviews are required to back a Revise/Accept. CR concentrates on hypothesis-testing experiments and surve

Skills in this plugin

▌
Commres Rebuttal · brycewang-stanford
Use when revising a Communication Research (CR) manuscript after a revise-and-resubmit. CR requires two independent reviews to advance, so the hard problem is satisfying two quantitatively demanding referees — often on measurement, mediation, and confounds — inside the 45-page limit. Plans the revision and response memo; it does not fabricate new results.

▌
Commres Workflow · brycewang-stanford
Use as the entry point for any Communication Research (CR) manuscript. Routes to the right CR sub-skill based on lifecycle stage and study type (experiment, survey/panel, or content analysis). It dispatches; it does not draft content.

▌
Commres Submission · brycewang-stanford bundle
Use when running the final pre-submission preflight for Communication Research (CR) via SAGE Track (ScholarOne) — double-anonymized preparation, the 45-page limit, APA reporting, the data-availability statement, ORCID, and declarations. Final checks; it does not draft content.

▌
Commres Data Analysis · brycewang-stanford
Use when executing and reporting the analysis for a Communication Research (CR) manuscript so it survives expert, double-anonymized review — ANOVA/regression/SEM, mediation/moderation with honest uncertainty, reliability, and APA statistical reporting. Guides analysis norms; it does not fabricate results.

▌
Commres Writing Style · brycewang-stanford
Use when drafting or polishing a Communication Research (CR) manuscript so it reads as cumulative social science, follows APA style, and fits the limits (manuscript no more than 45 double-spaced pages inclusive of references). Tightens prose and format; it does not invent content.

▌
Commres Review Process · brycewang-stanford
Use to understand how Communication Research (CR) evaluates a manuscript — double-anonymized review, editorial screening for quantitative/theory fit, external review, and the requirement that two independent positive reviews back a Revise or Accept decision. Sets expectations and shapes the paper to survive review; it does not contact editors.

▌
Commres Tables Figures · brycewang-stanford
Use when building tables and figures for a Communication Research (CR) manuscript so exhibits are self-contained, accessible, and formatted to APA. CR is quantitative, so exhibits must show effect sizes and uncertainty, not just stars. Designs exhibits; it does not run the analysis.

▌
Commres Research Design · brycewang-stanford
Use when defending the research design of a Communication Research (CR) manuscript — experiments (lab/online), panel surveys, and content analysis with intercoder reliability. CR is quantitative and demanding about identification, measurement, and confound control. Strengthens the design; it does not write code.

▌
Commres Theory Building · brycewang-stanford
Use when building the theoretical argument and hypotheses of a Communication Research (CR) manuscript into a testable, mechanism-level contribution. CR rewards explicit constructs, a stated communication process, and numbered hypotheses with mediation/moderation, not a bare effect. Structures the argument; it does not run analyses.

▌
Commres Topic Selection · brycewang-stanford
Use when deciding whether a communication project fits Communication Research (CR) and is shaped as quantitative, theory-testing social science. CR rewards a clear communication-science question with a testable mechanism, not platform novelty or description. Helps frame the question; it does not collect data.

▌
Commres Transparency And Data · brycewang-stanford
Use when preparing the transparency, open-science, and reproducibility materials for a Communication Research (CR) manuscript — data-availability statement, deposited data/code/materials, preregistration, and the restricted-data path. Prepares the materials; it does not waive requirements.

▌
Commres Literature Positioning · brycewang-stanford
Use when positioning a Communication Research (CR) manuscript against the literature so it reads as a cumulative, theory-testing contribution to communication science. CR reviewers expect engagement with the empirical communication literature and the rival accounts your hypotheses adjudicate. Stakes the contribution; it does not write the lit review.
