Skills in this plugin

▌
Jcf Rebuttal · brycewang-stanford
Use when preparing a revise-and-resubmit response for the Journal of Corporate Finance (JCF) — a point-by-point reply to two-or-more single-anonymized reviewers and the handling editor, reconciling divergent demands without over-claiming. It structures the response letter and revision plan; it does not run new analysis on its own.

▌
Jcf Workflow · brycewang-stanford
Use when orchestrating the full Journal of Corporate Finance (JCF) manuscript lifecycle — from a corporate-finance question through identification, robustness, the US$340 fee submission via Editorial Manager, single-anonymized review, and R&R. Routes to the other eleven jcf-* skills with stage gates; it coordinates, it does not draft content.

▌
Jcf Submission · brycewang-stanford
Use when running the final pre-submission preflight for the Journal of Corporate Finance (JCF) via Editorial Manager — the US$340 non-refundable fee, single-anonymized (non-anonymized) manuscript, ≤250-word abstract, author-date "your paper, your way" references, Option C data statement, declarations, and the optional free SSRN preprint. Final checks; it does not draft content.

▌
Jcf Data Analysis · brycewang-stanford
Use when building and running the empirical analysis for a Journal of Corporate Finance (JCF) paper — assembling WRDS-era firm panels (Compustat/CRSP/SDC/DealScan), constructing variables, estimating with fixed effects and clustered errors, and layering robustness. It guides the empirical build; pair it with jcf-identification-strategy for the design itself.

▌
Jcf Writing Style · brycewang-stanford
Use when drafting or polishing prose for a Journal of Corporate Finance (JCF) manuscript — the ≤250-word abstract, 1–7 keywords, author-date (Harvard) in-text citations, and the "your paper, your way" first-submission reference flexibility. It enforces JCF house conventions; it does not generate results.

▌
Jcf Review Process · brycewang-stanford
Use when planning around the Journal of Corporate Finance (JCF) review process — single-anonymized (single-blind) refereeing, a minimum of two reviewers, an active desk-rejection policy, decision-letter interpretation, and required Elsevier declarations. It sets expectations and timing strategy; it does not draft the manuscript or the rebuttal.

▌
Jcf Tables Figures · brycewang-stanford
Use when building the tables and figures for a Journal of Corporate Finance (JCF) empirical paper — summary statistics, main regression tables with fixed effects and clustering disclosed, event-study/CAR plots, and self-contained notes. It shapes the exhibits; pair with jcf-data-analysis for the underlying estimates.

▌
Jcf Topic Selection · brycewang-stanford
Use when judging whether a corporate-finance question fits the Journal of Corporate Finance (JCF) and whether it suits a full-length or "shorter format" paper. Helps scope the idea to JCF's empirical/theoretical corporate-finance remit; it does not run analysis or draft text.

▌
Jcf Contribution Framing · brycewang-stanford
Use when sharpening the stated contribution of a Journal of Corporate Finance (JCF) manuscript — turning a result into a crisp "what is new and why it matters to corporate finance" claim that survives the editor's desk screen. It frames the pitch (abstract, intro, cover letter); it does not run analysis.

▌
Jcf Literature Positioning · brycewang-stanford
Use when positioning a manuscript within the corporate-finance literature for the Journal of Corporate Finance (JCF) — locating the paper in the right strand (capital structure, governance, payout, contracting, M&A, international) and stating the marginal contribution. It frames citations and gap statements; it does not draft full sections.

▌
Jcf Identification Strategy · brycewang-stanford
Use when designing or defending the causal identification strategy for a Journal of Corporate Finance (JCF) empirical paper — choosing and stressing a design (DID/staggered shocks, IV/GMM, RDD, event study, matching) for firm-level data with endogenous corporate decisions. It evaluates and hardens the design; it does not run the regressions.

▌
Jcf Replication And Data Policy · brycewang-stanford
Use when preparing the data-availability statement and code/data archive for a Journal of Corporate Finance (JCF) submission under Elsevier "Research Data" Option C — stating data availability at submission and depositing or explaining why data cannot be shared. It builds the data/code deliverables; it is not a substitute for vendor-license compliance.
