  1. ▌
    Tar Methods · brycewang-stanford
    Use when the research design and identification strategy are the bottleneck for a The Accounting Review (TAR) manuscript — choosing the setting, shock, and design that credibly identify an accounting effect, or structuring an analytical model or experiment. Designs the study; it does not run the estimation and robustness (tar-data-analysis) or frame the contribution (tar-contribution-framing).

  2. ▌
    Tar Rebuttal · brycewang-stanford
    Use when drafting the revision and response letter after a The Accounting Review (TAR) revise-and-resubmit — structuring point-by-point responses to the editor and the (minimum two) reviewers across a multi-round developmental process, including identification, contribution, and data-authenticity demands. Drafts the response after revisions; it does not interpret the decision letter (tar-review-process).

  3. ▌
    Tar Workflow · brycewang-stanford
    Use when deciding which tar-* sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing manuscript work from topic selection through rebuttal for a The Accounting Review (TAR) manuscript. Routes — it does not replace — the specialized skills.

  4. ▌
    Tar Submission · brycewang-stanford
    Use when running the final pre-submission preflight for a The Accounting Review (TAR) manuscript — the Editorial Manager portal, double-blind anonymization, AI disclosure statement, ORCID and Conflict-of-Interest forms, data-authenticity files, the submission caps, and AAA/Chicago formatting. Checks readiness to submit; it does not handle the post-decision response (tar-rebuttal).

  5. ▌
    Tar Data Analysis · brycewang-stanford
    Use when running and reporting the estimation for a The Accounting Review (TAR) manuscript — the estimator, fixed effects, standard-error clustering, robustness, and the data-authenticity / code-access documentation TAR requires. Executes and reports the analysis; it does not design identification (tar-methods) or frame the contribution (tar-contribution-framing).

  6. ▌
    Tar Writing Style · brycewang-stanford
    Use when polishing the prose of a The Accounting Review (TAR) manuscript — front-loading the result, writing for an accounting audience, enforcing Chicago Manual of Style house conventions, the 150-word abstract, and full author anonymization for double-blind review. Polishes prose and style; it does not fix a thin contribution (tar-contribution-framing) or run the submission preflight (tar-submission).

  7. ▌
    Tar Review Process · brycewang-stanford
    Use when understanding how The Accounting Review (TAR) review and decisions work, or when reading a TAR decision letter — the editor routing, double-blind two-reviewer model, decision types, and post-publication integrity rules. Explains and interprets the process; it does not draft the revision and response (tar-rebuttal).

  8. ▌
    Tar Tables Figures · brycewang-stanford
    Use when building or cleaning the exhibits for a The Accounting Review (TAR) manuscript — descriptive, correlation, and regression tables, event-study and discontinuity figures, experimental cell means, and analytical-model exhibits in Chicago house style and within the page budget. Finalizes exhibits; it does not run the analysis (tar-data-analysis) or polish prose (tar-writing-style).

  9. ▌
    Tar Topic Selection · brycewang-stanford
    Use when choosing or sharpening a research question for a The Accounting Review (TAR) manuscript — testing whether the question is contribution-driven, identifiable with accounting data, and a fit for TAR versus JAR/JAE or a specialist AAA section journal. Selects and scopes the question; it does not build the model (tar-theory-development) or design identification (tar-methods).

  10. ▌
    Tar Theory Development · brycewang-stanford
    Use when the economic mechanism, analytical model, or predictions are the bottleneck for a The Accounting Review (TAR) manuscript — articulating why an accounting effect occurs and deriving testable predictions or model propositions. Builds the argument; it does not design identification (tar-methods) or run the estimation (tar-data-analysis).

  11. ▌
    Tar Contribution Framing · brycewang-stanford
    Use when results exist but the accounting contribution is thin or implicit for a The Accounting Review (TAR) manuscript — turning findings into an explicit statement of what the field now knows, with credible bounds and implications. Frames the contribution; it does not build the mechanism (tar-theory-development) or position against the literature (tar-literature-positioning).

  12. ▌
    Tar Literature Positioning · brycewang-stanford
    Use when the front end of a The Accounting Review (TAR) manuscript reads as gap-spotting or an incremental database extension — positioning the paper inside a live accounting conversation against the closest TAR/JAR/JAE/CAR work. Positions the contribution; it does not derive the mechanism (tar-theory-development) or write the contribution paragraph (tar-contribution-framing).
