Contemporary Accounting Research Skills
Agent skill stack for manuscripts targeted at Contemporary Accounting Research (CAR), the premier research journal of the Canadian Academic Accounting Association (CAAA), published by Wiley. Deliberately method-agnostic across all topic areas of accounting — archival/capital-markets, experimental, analytical/modeling, field studies, surveys, and qualitative work. Covers topic selection, theory dev
Skills in this plugin
12- ▌ Car Methods · brycewang-stanfordUse when the research design and identification are the bottleneck for a Contemporary Accounting Research (CAR) manuscript — choosing and defending an archival, experimental, analytical, field, or survey design and, for human-participant work, meeting CAR's mandatory ethics-approval verification. Designs the study; it does not run the estimation (car-data-analysis).
- ▌ Car Rebuttal · brycewang-stanfordUse when a Contemporary Accounting Research (CAR) revise-and-resubmit arrives — planning the revision and drafting a point-by-point response to two reviewers and the subject Editor, including any new analyses, robustness, and updated Data Integrity/code-sharing materials. Drafts the response; it does not run the new estimation (car-data-analysis) or the final preflight (car-submission).
- ▌ Car Workflow · brycewang-stanfordUse when deciding which car-* sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing manuscript work from topic selection through rebuttal for a Contemporary Accounting Research (CAR) manuscript. Routes — it does not replace — the specialized skills.
- ▌ Car Submission · brycewang-stanfordUse when running the final pre-submission preflight for a Contemporary Accounting Research (CAR) manuscript — Editorial Manager files (blind manuscript, separate title page, author declaration, ethics-approval verification, proof of payment), the $250/$600 submission fee, length/abstract limits, and the Data Integrity items collected at submission. Checks readiness to submit; it does not handle the post-decision response (car-rebuttal).
- ▌ Car Data Analysis · brycewang-stanfordUse when running and reporting the analysis for a Contemporary Accounting Research (CAR) manuscript — the right estimator for archival/capital-markets, experimental, or analytical-calibration work, robustness, and CAR's Data Integrity & Code Sharing Policy (code archiving, variable definitions, data availability statement). Executes and reports; it does not design the study (car-methods).
- ▌ Car Writing Style · brycewang-stanfordUse when polishing the prose of a Contemporary Accounting Research (CAR) manuscript — a front-loaded research question, disciplined accounting terminology, the ≤300-word abstract that states question/predictions/method/findings/implications, and CAR Style Guide conventions (footnotes not endnotes, author-date references on a new page). Polishes prose; it does not run the submission preflight (car-submission).
- ▌ Car Review Process · brycewang-stanfordUse when you need to understand how Contemporary Accounting Research (CAR) evaluates a manuscript — the double-anonymous, two-reviewer process, the role of the subject Editor and the EIC who approves all acceptances, generative-AI rules for reviewers, and CAR's formal appeals process. Explains the process; it does not draft the revision response (car-rebuttal).
- ▌ Car Tables Figures · brycewang-stanfordUse when building the exhibits of a Contemporary Accounting Research (CAR) manuscript — descriptive/correlation/results tables for archival work, experimental cell-means and ANOVA tables, model figures, and appendices — formatted to the CAR Style Guide (each exhibit on a new page, variable definitions, footnotes not endnotes). Builds exhibits; it does not run the analysis (car-data-analysis).
- ▌ Car Topic Selection · brycewang-stanfordUse when choosing or sharpening a research question for a Contemporary Accounting Research (CAR) manuscript — testing fit with CAR's deliberately method-agnostic, all-topic-areas accounting scope and picking the research tradition (archival, experimental, analytical, field, qualitative) that the question demands.
- ▌ Car Theory Development · brycewang-stanfordUse when building the conceptual engine of a Contemporary Accounting Research (CAR) manuscript — the economic or behavioral mechanism, predictions/hypotheses, or the formal model — adapted to whether the paper is archival, experimental, analytical, or qualitative. Builds the argument; it does not run estimation (car-data-analysis) or frame the contribution (car-contribution-framing).
- ▌ Car Contribution Framing · brycewang-stanfordUse when turning results into an explicit contribution for a Contemporary Accounting Research (CAR) manuscript — articulating what the paper adds to accounting knowledge and to practice/standard-setting, adapted to whether the contribution is archival evidence, an experimental mechanism, or an analytical insight. Frames the contribution; it does not position the literature (car-literature-positioning).
- ▌ Car Literature Positioning · brycewang-stanfordUse when positioning a Contemporary Accounting Research (CAR) manuscript within the accounting literature — identifying the conversation it joins, distinguishing it from closely related accounting/finance/economics work, and disclosing overlap with the authors' own related papers as CAR's author declaration requires.
