rof-contribution-framingUse when the marginal contribution of a Review of Finance (RoF) manuscript to the finance literature is fuzzy or undersold — turning a result into a defensible "what we now know that we did not" claim that a top-three-standard referee will accept.
rof-data-analysisUse when auditing Review of Finance empirical or theoretical analysis: sample construction, identification, asset-pricing tests, corporate-finance variables, robustness, code reproducibility, and evidence that can satisfy top-three-finance-journal standards.
rof-identification-strategyUse when the credibility core of a Review of Finance (RoF) manuscript is the bottleneck — causal identification for empirical finance (DID, IV, RDD, event study, natural experiments) OR assumptions, results, and proof exposition for theoretical finance. Stress-tests the design or model to the top-th
rof-literature-positioningUse when positioning a Review of Finance (RoF) manuscript against the finance frontier — citing the right top-three work, honoring RoF's strict author-responsibility citation norm, and staking the contribution without a standalone survey.
rof-rebuttalUse when drafting a Review of Finance response letter and revision plan after an R&R, especially under the two-round philosophy, top-three-finance standards, code/data conditions, and page-cap constraints.
rof-replication-and-data-policyUse when preparing the Review of Finance (RoF) replication package — code, data, pseudo-datasets for proprietary sources such as Datastream or Bankscope, log files, the Data Availability Statement, dataset citations, cover-letter exception requests at initial submission, and OUP supplementary hostin
rof-review-processUse when interpreting Review of Finance desk screening, Screen Reports, double-blind review, top-three-finance-journal referee standards, two-round decision philosophy, Fast-Track timing, and sanctions for undisclosed resubmission or dual submission.
rof-submissionUse when running a Review of Finance submission preflight for Editorial Express, regular versus Fast-Track fee choice, 60-page cap, 150-word abstract, double-blind anonymity, Chicago references, cover-letter disclosure, and code-sharing exceptions.
rof-tables-figuresUse when designing Review of Finance tables and figures under the 60-page total cap, including empirical-finance exhibits, theory figures, robustness tables, data-description tables, and replication-friendly notes.
rof-topic-selectionUse when judging whether a finance idea clears the Review of Finance (RoF) general-interest bar before any estimation or modeling — first-order question, fit with the journal's empirical-and-theoretical scope, and the top-three-finance-journal standard RoF referees apply.
rof-workflowUse when deciding which rof-* sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing manuscript work from topic selection through rebuttal for a Review of Finance (RoF) submission. Routes — it does not replace — the specialized skills.
rof-writing-styleUse when revising a Review of Finance manuscript for a 150-word abstract, double-blind wording, Chicago-style references, first-order finance framing, two-round review discipline, and 60-page total manuscript constraint.
