For papers to have scientific impact, they need to impress our peers in their role as referees, journal editors, and members of conference committees. Does better writing help our papers make it past these gatekeepers? In this study, we estimate the effect of writing quality by comparing how 30...

This study examines how tripartite phrases in academic paper titles affect citation counts. Tripartite phrases consist of three interconnected elements separated by commas and conjunctions such as pattern, perception, and performance. Analyzing comprehensive datasets from economics (235,330...

This paper aims to provide insights for those who value careful, precise communication to draft effective economics papers. It is designed to be a helpful and convenient guide, which is divided into well-defined, thought-provoking sections.

While hypothesis testing is a highly formalized activity, hypothesis generation remains largely informal. We propose a procedure that uses machine learning algorithms—and their capacity to notice patterns people might not—to generate novel hypotheses about human behavior. We illustrate the...

Academic Writing is a core subject that undergraduate students take during their four years of study. However, many students find the subject challenging. Several studies have been conducted to explore the difficulties students face, yet in Afghanistan, little to no research is available. Hence,...

The bibliography aims to give readers an overview on articles in academic journals, contributions to edited volumes, monographs and textbooks published in English or German in the field of Chinese law published in 2021. Writings in other western languages could only partly be considered....

Common challenges faced by lecturers teaching this course include helping students learn to apply the theory to practice as they proceed with research, the goal of this blended approach is to synthesize different teaching and learning approaches into an integrated mix that lecturers can tailor...

Reanalyses of empirical studies and replications in new contexts are important for scientific progress. Journals in economics increasingly require authors to provide data and code alongside published papers, but how much does the economics profession actually replicate? This paper summarizes...

This paper describes a process for automatically generating academic finance papers using large language models (LLMs). It demonstrates the process' efficacy by producing hundreds of complete papers on stock return predictability, a topic particularly well-suited for our illustration. We first...

Studierende aller Fächer müssen große Mengen an Fachliteratur lesen, verstehen und in ihren eigenen wissenschaftlichen Arbeiten wiedergeben. Das fällt nicht nur Anfängern schwer, sondern häufig auch erfahrenen Schreiberinnen und Schreibern. Ulrike Lange erklärt an Beispielen aus den...

As members of legal fraternity judges, lawyers, academicians, researchers and students continuously engage in legal research and writing, the legal researchers and writers play a double role in their academic exercise as both creators and users of copyrighted materials. It means, they have...

The following paper goes into an in-depth analysis of the purpose of a dissertation methodology. Providing what the process entails leaves researchers to evaluate their intentions of receiving a terminal degree and the weight of the assignment. Acknowledging the requirements will make sure...

Francis Bacon, pioneer of the scientific method, noted in one of his aphorisms that “human understanding is of its own nature prone to suppose the existence of more order and regularity in the world than it finds.” In this paper, we evaluate the extent to which this tendency encourages...

Because of the knowledge explosion taking place, literature reviews in church-based research are needed more than ever. Summaries and syntheses of previous research make this knowledge available to practitioners and help researchers focus on what remains unknown. In contrast to empirical...

Generative Künstliche Intelligenz beschreibt eine Klasse von KI-Systemen, die in der Lage sind, aus großen Datenmengen zu lernen und auf dieser Grundlage neue, bisher nicht gesehene Inhalte zu generieren, wie beispielsweise Texte, Bilder, Musik oder Videos. Dabei wird die...

Kurzweilige, praktische Einführung über den Einfluss künstlicher Intelligenz auf die Zukunft der Experten und in die Arbeit mit ChatGPT. Am 30. November 2022 stellt das Unternehmen OpenAI einen Chatbot namens ChatGPT vor. Er könnte als der "iPhone-Moment" in die KI-Geschichte eingehen. Denn...
