Skills in this plugin

▌
Jpam Rebuttal · brycewang-stanford
Use when writing the response to a Journal of Policy Analysis and Management (JPAM) revise-and-resubmit — converting cross-disciplinary referees (an identification reviewer and a policy reviewer) without diluting the credible core, and keeping the editor confident the revision is convergent. Structures the response letter; it does not fabricate new results.

▌
Jpam Workflow · brycewang-stanford
Use when starting or orienting any Journal of Policy Analysis and Management (JPAM) manuscript and you need the entry point. Routes to the right JPAM sub-skill based on lifecycle stage and which article type (Feature Research Article, Point/Counterpoint, Methods for Policy Analysis, Policy Insights, Policy Retrospective) fits. It dispatches; it does not draft content.

▌
Jpam Submission · brycewang-stanford bundle
Use when running the final pre-submission preflight for the Journal of Policy Analysis and Management (JPAM) via Wiley Research Exchange — article-type selection, anonymized preparation, the APPAM membership-or-fee requirement, abstract/format, ORCID, data-availability statement, and declarations. Final checks; it does not draft content.

▌
Jpam Data Analysis · brycewang-stanford
Use when running and reporting the estimation for a Journal of Policy Analysis and Management (JPAM) manuscript — program-evaluation estimates plus the cost-benefit and distributional analysis JPAM expects, with robustness, heterogeneity, and honest uncertainty. Guides analysis norms; it does not replace the identification design.

▌
Jpam Writing Style · brycewang-stanford
Use when drafting or polishing the prose of a Journal of Policy Analysis and Management (JPAM) manuscript — a clear policy implication stated without overclaiming, legible to economists, political scientists, public-management scholars, and practitioners. Improves clarity and calibration; it does not change the analysis.

▌
Jpam Review Process · brycewang-stanford
Use when anticipating how a Journal of Policy Analysis and Management (JPAM) manuscript will be evaluated — desk screening, double-blind peer review, the article types and which are not peer-reviewed, decision categories, and what JPAM referees reward and punish. Sets expectations; it does not write the paper or the rebuttal.

▌
Jpam Tables Figures · brycewang-stanford
Use when building tables and figures for a Journal of Policy Analysis and Management (JPAM) manuscript — self-contained, decision-legible exhibits that show the policy effect, its uncertainty, the design's validity, and cost-benefit / distributional results. Designs exhibits; it does not run the estimation.

▌
Jpam Research Design · brycewang-stanford
Use when defending the causal identification of a Journal of Policy Analysis and Management (JPAM) manuscript — RCTs, difference-in-differences / event study, regression discontinuity / kink, instrumental variables, and synthetic control for policy and program evaluation. Strengthens the design and its assumptions; it does not write estimation code.

▌
Jpam Theory Building · brycewang-stanford
Use when building the conceptual frame of a Journal of Policy Analysis and Management (JPAM) manuscript — the theory of change / logic model linking the policy lever to outcomes, the mechanism, and the scope conditions that govern transfer to other settings. Sharpens the argument; it does not run estimation or design identification.

▌
Jpam Topic Selection · brycewang-stanford
Use when judging whether a research idea fits the Journal of Policy Analysis and Management (JPAM) — a credibly evaluable policy or program question with a decision-relevant takeaway that reaches across economics, political science, and public management. Tests fit and sharpens the question; it does not design the study or run analysis.

▌
Jpam Transparency And Data · brycewang-stanford
Use when preparing the replication / transparency materials for a Journal of Policy Analysis and Management (JPAM) manuscript — depositing data and code in a public repository so the reported results can be reproduced, with an honest exemption path for restricted administrative data. Prepares the package; it does not waive requirements.

▌
Jpam Literature Positioning · brycewang-stanford
Use when positioning a Journal of Policy Analysis and Management (JPAM) manuscript against prior work — the policy-evaluation evidence base, the relevant economics / political-science / public-management literatures, and the policy/program record. Frames the gap and contribution; it does not design the study or write the full review.
