Use when revising prose for a Sociological Methods & Research (SMR) manuscript — methods-paper introduction arc, ASA citation style, the ≤150-word non-parenthetical abstract, and clear exposition of estimands, assumptions, and results. Edits prose and conformance; does not derive or simulate.
Use when positioning an ACM SoCC submission against both the systems literature (OSDI, NSDI, EuroSys, ATC, SOSP, SoCC) and the data-management literature (SIGMOD, VLDB), writing delta-first contrast rather than a citation catalog, keeping self-citations dual-anonymous, and handling concurrent, preprint, and prior-version overlap.
Use when revising an ACM SoCC paper for a cloud-scale problem an operator recognizes on the first page, a contribution at the systems-and-data intersection, evidence measured on a real or realistic deployment with tail latency and cost as first-class, dual-anonymous wording, and disciplined use of the acmart 12-page budget.
Use when a manuscript targets 《中国社会科学》(Social Sciences in China) — the CASS flagship and the single most prestigious cross-disciplinary social-science journal in China. Apply to judge fit (思想性 over 技术炫技), to reframe a paper around a 重大问题 + 原创理论 + 中国自主知识体系, or to polish toward its grand-but-rigorous house style. Not for narrow empirical notes.
Use to draft the response letter for an R&R at 《社会学研究》 (Sociological Studies) — addressing reviewer concerns about sociological problematic, theory dialogue, mechanism/social process, qualitative trustworthiness, or quantitative interpretation, point by point, with respect and evidence. Use only after the manuscript itself has been revised.
Use when polishing the language of a 《社会学研究》 (Sociological Studies) manuscript — removing both policy-report tone (加强/完善/推进) and pure-technique tone (method-flexing), and restoring a scholarly sociological register with paragraph-leading topic sentences. Use after the problematic and mechanism are settled.
Use when stress-testing the reasoning of a Sociological Theory (ST) manuscript — turning stated propositions into a valid, warranted argument that survives rival theories and counter-cases. Develops and audits the argument; it does NOT define the concepts (soctheory-theory-construction) or bound the theory's domain (soctheory-boundary-conditions).
Use when specifying the scope, domain, and limits of a Sociological Theory (ST) manuscript's theory — stating where it holds, where it does not, and what it does NOT claim. Bounds the theory as a contribution; it does NOT build the concepts (soctheory-theory-construction) or audit the reasoning (soctheory-argument-development).
Use when writing the response document for a Sociological Theory (ST) Revise & Resubmit — structuring point-by-point replies that show the theory was genuinely strengthened, not just defended. Drafts the response; revise the manuscript's theory FIRST (soctheory-theory-construction / soctheory-argument-development) before writing the letter.
Use when drafting or polishing a Sociological Theory (ST) manuscript so it reads as an argument for a broad theoretical readership, follows the ASA Style Guide, and fits ST's length cap (max ~14,500 words inclusive of footnotes, references, tables, figures, and appendices — verify current). Tightens prose and format; it does not invent content.
