Journal Of Accounting Research Skills
Agent skill stack for manuscripts targeted at the Journal of Accounting Research (JAR), one of the top-three accounting journals, sponsored by the Chookaszian Accounting Research Center at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business and published by Wiley-Blackwell. Built around JAR's empirical-archival capital-markets tradition (the Ball-Brown lineage), its mandatory data-and-code sharing
Skills in this plugin
12- ▌ Jar Methods · brycewang-stanfordUse when the research design and identification strategy are the bottleneck for a Journal of Accounting Research (JAR) manuscript — choosing the setting, source of identifying variation, and sample to support a causal accounting claim. Designs the study; it does not run the estimation, clustering, or robustness (jar-data-analysis).
- ▌ Jar Rebuttal · brycewang-stanfordUse after a Journal of Accounting Research (JAR) revise-and-resubmit to plan the revision and draft the point-by-point response — prioritizing the Senior Editor's first-order concerns (identification, the channel, measurement) and updating the required data-and-code package. Plans and drafts the response; it does not run the new analyses from scratch (jar-data-analysis) or re-run the submission preflight (jar-submission).
- ▌ Jar Workflow · brycewang-stanfordUse when deciding which jar-* sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing manuscript work from topic selection through rebuttal for a Journal of Accounting Research (JAR) manuscript. Routes — it does not replace — the specialized skills.
- ▌ Jar Submission · brycewang-stanfordUse when running the final pre-submission preflight for a Journal of Accounting Research (JAR) manuscript — the Wiley Research Exchange portal, double-anonymization, the tiered submission fee and one-week payment window, the article-type choice, and the data-and-code package JAR requires. Checks readiness to submit; it does not handle the post-decision response (jar-rebuttal).
- ▌ Jar Data Analysis · brycewang-stanfordUse when running and reporting the empirical-archival analysis for a Journal of Accounting Research (JAR) manuscript — standard-error clustering, endogeneity execution, construct measurement, and the robustness battery referees expect, plus the reproducible data-and-code package JAR requires. Executes and reports; it does not choose the identification strategy (jar-methods) or frame the contribution (jar-contribution-framing).
- ▌ Jar Writing Style · brycewang-stanfordUse when polishing the prose of a Journal of Accounting Research (JAR) manuscript — a design-forward, economically literate style that states the question, setting, and identification early and reads like recent empirical-archival accounting papers. Polishes prose and house style; it does not build the contribution (jar-contribution-framing) or format exhibits (jar-tables-figures).
- ▌ Jar Review Process · brycewang-stanfordUse when setting expectations for how Journal of Accounting Research (JAR) review and decisions work, or when reading a JAR decision letter — the Senior-Editor-panel structure, double-anonymized review, the desk-screen and tiered-fee gate, and the distinctive Ray Ball Conference and Registered Reports tracks. Explains the process; it does not draft the R&R response (jar-rebuttal).
- ▌ Jar Tables Figures · brycewang-stanfordUse when finalizing the descriptive, results, and identification exhibits for a Journal of Accounting Research (JAR) manuscript — the summary-statistics table, correlation matrix, main regression tables, and identification plots that an empirical-archival accounting paper lives or dies on. Builds the exhibits; it does not run the estimation (jar-data-analysis) or polish prose (jar-writing-style).
- ▌ Jar Topic Selection · brycewang-stanfordUse 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).
- ▌ Jar Theory Development · brycewang-stanfordUse when building the economic mechanism and deriving signed, falsifiable predictions for a Journal of Accounting Research (JAR) manuscript — grounding hypotheses in information economics, contracting, and disclosure theory rather than psychology-style construct chains. Builds the mechanism; it does not design the empirical test (jar-methods) or run it (jar-data-analysis).
- ▌ Jar Contribution Framing · brycewang-stanfordUse 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).
- ▌ Jar Literature Positioning · brycewang-stanfordUse when positioning a Journal of Accounting Research (JAR) manuscript within the accounting literature — stating the conversation you join, the marginal contribution over prior archival/disclosure/audit work, and why JAR (not TAR/JAE/RAST/CAR) is the home. Positions the paper; it does not build the mechanism (jar-theory-development) or articulate the discussion-section contribution (jar-contribution-framing).
