Economics manuscript requirements
Economics papers follow specific conventions in empirical research reporting: the identification strategy must be clearly explained, data sources precisely described, and robustness checks demonstrated. Top economics journals (AER, QJE, JPE, Econometrica) use author-year citations and have strict formatting requirements. Replication packages (data and code) are now required at most top journals. Our checker validates economics-specific manuscript requirements alongside standard formatting checks.
Economics-specific checks
Data source description
Verify data sources, time periods, and geographic coverage are specified.
Identification strategy
Flag sections where the identification or causal mechanism is unclear.
Replication statement
Check for replication package or data availability statement.
Table and figure standards
Validate standard economics table formatting (t-statistics in parentheses, significance stars).
Variable definitions
Verify all key variables are defined in the text or appendix.
Citation style
Validate author-year citations and reference list formatting.

The practical edge your peers already use
Across disciplines and career stages, researchers reduce bottlenecks and submit with confidence: clearer drafts, easier guideline compliance, and less back and forth with co‑authors and reviewers.
I use it to review my students' papers. It instantly highlights typos, missing references, and unclear sections, helping me focus my feedback on the quality of the research instead of surface errors.
Ilyass
Professor in Mechanical Engineering, ÉTS Montréal
I relied on it throughout my thesis to strengthen my writing. It suggested clearer phrasing, improved flow between sections, and ensured my references were complete before the final deadline.
Manon
Master's Student in Speech Therapy
I write research in both Portuguese and English, and it adapts perfectly to either language. It provided precise feedback in Portuguese, helping me maintain academic tone and consistency across my drafts.
Afonso
PhD Candidate, UFPE
It gave excellent advice on how to rephrase and present ideas more clearly and concisely. The suggestions helped me refine my arguments and make my research more impactful.
Félix
Postdoc Researcher, Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology
A round of suggestions helped to generally refine the text of my paper and, moreover, to present some of its key points in a more focused form.

Frequently asked questions
Yes: top economics journals (AER, REStud, JPE) require full replication packages including data and code as a condition of publication. This has been standard practice since 2019-2020.
