Journal Of Marriage And Family Skills
Agent skill stack for manuscripts targeted at the Journal of Marriage and Family (JMF) — the leading journal of family science, published by Wiley for the National Council on Family Relations (NCFR). JMF is interdisciplinary and family-centered: it spans family demography, marriage and partnering, divorce and union dissolution, cohabitation and fertility, parenting and child wellbeing, intergenera
Skills in this plugin
12- ▌ Jmf Rebuttal · brycewang-stanfordUse when writing the response to a Journal of Marriage and Family (JMF) revise-and-resubmit. JMF reviews are double-blind and most published papers go through at least one R&R, so the response must convert each anonymous reviewer while keeping the editor confident the revision converges. Structures the response letter; it does not fabricate new results.
- ▌ Jmf Workflow · brycewang-stanfordUse as the entry point for any Journal of Marriage and Family (JMF) manuscript. Routes to the right JMF sub-skill based on where you are in the lifecycle and whether the work fits a full article or a brief report. JMF is the interdisciplinary flagship of family science; the router's first job is to confirm a genuine family-science contribution. It dispatches; it does not draft content.
- ▌ Jmf Submission · brycewang-stanfordUse when running the final pre-submission preflight for the Journal of Marriage and Family (JMF) — format selection (article vs. brief report), double-blind anonymization, page limit, structured abstract, modified APA, bias-free language, data availability statement, and the Wiley Research Exchange portal (migrated from ScholarOne). Final checks; it does not draft content.
- ▌ Jmf Data Analysis · brycewang-stanfordUse when executing and reporting the analysis for a Journal of Marriage and Family (JMF) manuscript so it survives expert double-blind review — honest uncertainty, robustness, attention to selection and non-independence, and correct handling of complex-survey, longitudinal, and dyadic data. Guides analysis norms; it does not fabricate results.
- ▌ Jmf Writing Style · brycewang-stanfordUse when drafting or polishing a Journal of Marriage and Family (JMF) manuscript so it reads for an interdisciplinary family-science audience, follows modified APA style, includes the structured abstract (~200-225 words; Objective / Background / Method / Results / Conclusion / Implications), uses bias-free language, and fits the page limit. Tightens prose and format; it does not invent content.
- ▌ Jmf Review Process · brycewang-stanfordUse to understand how the Journal of Marriage and Family (JMF) evaluates a manuscript — double-blind anonymous peer review, editor and reviewer roles (typically three reviewers, ~21-day review window), the revise-and-resubmit pathway, and what triggers desk handling. Sets expectations and shapes the paper to survive review; it does not contact editors.
- ▌ Jmf Tables Figures · brycewang-stanfordUse when building tables and figures for a Journal of Marriage and Family (JMF) manuscript so exhibits are self-contained, accessible, in modified APA style, and count toward the ~35-page (or ~25-page brief-report) limit. JMF counts tables and figures toward the page budget, so exhibits must earn their space. Designs exhibits; it does not run the analysis.
- ▌ Jmf Research Design · brycewang-stanfordUse when defending the research design of a Journal of Marriage and Family (JMF) manuscript — longitudinal and life-course designs, dyadic and family-level analysis, family-demographic methods, experiments, and qualitative/multi-method designs. JMF judges each tradition on its own terms and is alert to selection. Strengthens the design; it does not write code.
- ▌ Jmf Topic Selection · brycewang-stanfordUse when deciding whether a project fits the Journal of Marriage and Family (JMF) and whether it should be a full article or a brief report. JMF is the interdisciplinary flagship of family science, so the test is a genuine contribution to understanding families and close relationships, not a generic social-science finding. Helps frame the question; it does not collect data.
- ▌ Jmf Literature Positioning · brycewang-stanfordUse when positioning a Journal of Marriage and Family (JMF) manuscript against the literature so it reads as a family-science contribution. JMF readers span sociology, psychology, demography, and family studies, so the paper must engage the family literatures they expect across disciplines. Stakes the contribution; it does not write the literature review.
- ▌ Jmf Transparency And Data Policy · brycewang-stanfordUse when preparing the reproducibility / replication and data-sharing materials for a Journal of Marriage and Family (JMF) manuscript. JMF asks for replication-level detail and Wiley applies a data-sharing policy with a data availability statement; many family datasets are restricted-use. Covers quantitative and qualitative transparency and the restricted-data path. Prepares the package; it does not waive requirements.
- ▌ Jmf Theory And Conceptual Framework · brycewang-stanfordUse when building the theoretical and conceptual framework of a Journal of Marriage and Family (JMF) manuscript. JMF values explicit family-science frameworks (life course, family systems, stress process, exchange/bargaining, ecological) with clear concepts, mechanisms, and hypotheses. Structures the argument; it does not run analyses.
