jm-methods

Use when choosing and defending the research design for a Journal of Marketing (JM) manuscript — matching a "big tent" method (experiment, field study, survey, secondary data, qualitative) to a substantive marketing question, with field realism and identification in mind. Designs the study; it does not run the estimation (jm-data-analysis) or frame the contribution (jm-contribution-framing).

jm-review-process

Use when understanding how Journal of Marketing (JM) review and decisions work — the double-anonymized process, the Coeditor structure, the substantive-and-relevance evaluation bar, and how to read a decision letter. Explains the process and reads the letter; it does not draft the response (jm-rebuttal).

jmcb-identification

Use when the identification argument is the bottleneck for a Journal of Money, Credit and Banking (JMCB) manuscript — macro shock identification (SVAR, narrative, sign/high-frequency monetary surprises), parameter identification in a monetary/banking model, or a micro-banking causal design. Stress-tests the data-to-object mapping to the JMCB bar before exhibits are finalized.

jmcb-topic-selection

Use when deciding whether a monetary, banking, credit, or macro-finance question belongs at the Journal of Money, Credit and Banking (JMCB) rather than a sibling, and how to frame its policy stakes. Locks the question and outlet fit; it does not invent evidence or citations.

jme-identification-strategy

Use when the identification of a monetary or macro shock (or a structural mechanism) is the bottleneck for a Journal of Monetary Economics (JME) manuscript — high-frequency surprises, narrative shocks, proxy/SVAR, local projections, sign restrictions, and model-based identification. Stress-tests the design before exhibits are drafted.

jme-review-process

Use when you need to understand how the Journal of Monetary Economics (JME) review process actually works — single anonymized (single-blind) review with at least two reviewers, the distinctive "up or out" first-revision rule, the ~50% publication-likelihood threshold for an R&R, suggested referees, and reconsideration.

jme-topic-selection

Use when assessing whether a research question fits the Journal of Monetary Economics (JME) — monetary theory and policy, central banking, business cycles, growth, financial intermediation, fiscal interactions, and expectations — before investing in a model or estimation. Checks scope fit and the policy/conceptual payoff bar.

jmf-data-analysis

Use 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-research-design

Use 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-review-process

Use 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.
