- The intro reads as "no one has modeled X" (gap-spotting) rather than joining a modeling conversation
A Marketing Science paper sits at the intersection of a modeling lineage and a substantive stream. Make both explicit.
Do not justify the paper by absence ("X has not been studied"). Justify it by what the field gains: a sharper mechanism, a counterfactual prior models could not compute, a relaxed assumption that overturns a known result, or a method others can reuse. The strongest framings show that a natural prior modeling choice gives the wrong answer, and your model corrects it.
Marketing Science requires that if the submission builds on the authors' own published or under-review work, you cite it and state how this paper's contribution goes beyond it. Because regular review is double-anonymous, cite your own prior work in the neutral third person and keep the manuscript blinded (no "in our earlier paper").
Use this as a second-pass capability check. First lock the demand/supply mechanism, fit evidence, and counterfactual decision margin; then test whether the manuscript addresses quantitative marketing reviewers who read the model through the managerial counterfactual it makes possible.
claim / evidence / blocker / next edit rows so the next pass can patch the manuscript directly.resources/official-source-map.md for volatile rules and name the one unresolved fact that could change the recommendation.【Modeling lineage】baseline model(s) + your delta
【Substantive stream】pricing/advertising/channels/platform/analytics + open question
【Contribution framing】field gain (not gap)
【Closest competitor】why it cannot answer this question
【Self-overlap】prior work cited + differentiated; blinding intact

npx claudepluginhub brycewang-stanford/awesome-journal-skills --plugin mksc-skillsPositions a Journal of Marketing Research (JMR) manuscript against the closest behavioral, modeling, and methods literatures to frame the contribution as an advance, not a better application. Uses AMA citation conventions.
Positions a JAMS manuscript's contribution against the marketing literature — locating it in the right stream, defending against 'incremental / new-context' challenges, and citing the substantive canon editors expect.
Positions a JM manuscript in a substantive marketing conversation, defending against the 'new-context replication' rejection by naming the conversation, stating the prevailing understanding, and writing an explicit new-context defense.
