Agent skill stack for manuscripts targeted at the European Sociological Review (ESR) — the flagship quantitative-sociology journal of the European Consortium for Sociological Research (ECSR), published by Oxford University Press. ESR publishes rigorous comparative and longitudinal quantitative work: social stratification and mobility, education, labor markets, family and life course, migration and ethnicity, attitudes, and cross-national European social structure — analyzed with multilevel and SEM models, panel and event-history designs, comparative designs, and causal inference where feasible, on harmonized survey data (ESS, EU-SILC, SOEP, EVS).
This repository is opinionated. It is not a generic social-science writing toolbox and it is not a US-sociology or economics pack relabeled. It is an ESR-specific stack: a question with a portable mechanism, comparative or longitudinal leverage, correct multilevel/measurement modeling, a completely anonymous manuscript, submission through ScholarOne, a required Data Availability Statement, and (for statistical/computational work) a replication package as a condition of publication.
Official basis checked 2026-06 (检索于 2026-06；以官网为准). Volatile specifics
(editors and term, exact caps, replication-policy dates, OA charges) change — items not directly
confirmed are marked 待核实 in
resources/official-source-map.md. Verify on the official
journal page.
ESR's constraints differ from a general or US-sociology journal:
| Constraint | ESR | Implication |
|---|---|---|
| Scope | European quantitative sociology | The paper needs a portable mechanism + comparative/longitudinal leverage |
| Premium on | Macro–micro mechanism tested with rigorous quantitative design | A single-country descriptive result is off-fit |
| Methods | Multilevel / SEM, panel & event-history, comparative, causal where feasible | Get the level, clustering, and measurement equivalence right |
| Publisher / owner | Oxford University Press / ECSR | Submitted via ScholarOne, not Editorial Manager or Sage Track |
| Review model | Double-blind — completely anonymous manuscript | You may self-cite, just not identifyingly |
| Length | Articles ~8,000 words incl. endnotes + references; longer with justification | Endnotes and references count toward the target |
| Abstract | ≤200 words, non-identifying | Tighter than journals that allow 250 |
| Style | English; author-date citations (e.g., "(Gans, 1962)") | OUP/ESR conventions |
| Transparency | Data Availability Statement (required) + replication package for statistical work (subs. from 1 Jan 2025) | A condition of publication, not a norm |
| Article types | Research Articles, Comments/Replies, Data Briefs | A Data Brief showcases a data source, not a full causal argument |

eursr-workflow is the router — it tells you which skill to use next based on where you are.
| Skill | Purpose |
|---|---|
eursr-workflow |
Router — decides which sub-skill to invoke next |
eursr-topic-selection |
Portable mechanism + comparative leverage; Article vs. Comment vs. Data Brief |
eursr-literature-positioning |
Place the contribution in a live comparative European debate |
eursr-theory-building |
Build a macro–micro mechanism with a testable cross-level hypothesis |
eursr-research-design |
Defend the design — comparative, panel/event-history, multilevel, causal |
eursr-data-analysis |
Multilevel/longitudinal modeling, few-cluster inference, robustness |
eursr-tables-figures |
Clear, self-contained exhibits (excluded from the word count) |
eursr-writing-style |
OUP author-date style; reach the comparative reader within ~8,000 words |
eursr-transparency-and-data |
Data Availability Statement + replication-package mandate |
eursr-review-process |
Double-blind review, decisions, what reviewers weigh |
eursr-submission |
ScholarOne preflight (anonymity, ~8,000 words, ≤200 abstract, DAS/package) |
eursr-rebuttal |
R&R response-letter strategy for multiple reviewers + editor |
resources/code/— reproducible Stata + Python causal-inference skeleton (base for the replication package)resources/external_tools.md— European data (ESS / EU-SILC / SOEP / EVS), ISCED/ISEI/EGP harmonization, multilevel / SEM / panel softwareresources/official-source-map.md— official OUP / ECSR URLs behind every fact, with 待核实 markersresources/worked-examples/01-introduction.md— a before→after ESR-style introduction (fictional)resources/exemplars/library.md— real, web-verified ESR papers by method × topic
| Journal | Owner / publisher | Identity vs. ESR |
|---|---|---|
| European Sociological Review (ESR) | ECSR / OUP | This pack — European quantitative-sociology flagship; comparative & longitudinal |
| American Sociological Review (ASR) | ASA / SAGE | US general flagship; all methods incl. theory & qualitative; Sage Track, $25 fee |
| American Journal of Sociology (AJS) | U. Chicago | US general; more theory/qualitative breadth |
| European Societies | ESA / Taylor & Francis | The ESA journal; broader, not the ECSR quantitative flagship |
| European Journal of Sociology | Cambridge UP | More theoretical/historical; not primarily quantitative |
| Sociological Methods & Research | SAGE | Methods journal, not substantive quantitative articles |
- It does not write a submittable manuscript for you
- It does not simulate any specific editor's or reviewer's taste
- It does not assert volatile metadata (current editors and term, exact caps, policy dates, OA charges) — verify on the official page; unverified items are marked 待核实
- It does not decide whether your question carries a portable, comparative mechanism — that is the researcher's call
