NBR Hypothesis Development
Develops rigorous, theory-backed academic hypotheses and mechanism chains tailored for submission to Nankai Business Review.
NBR Hypothesis Development is a specialized Claude Code skill engineered for management researchers targeting Nankai Business Review (南开管理评论) and top-tier empirical journals. It guides authors in crafting robust, theory-grounded hypothesis frameworks—including main effects, mediation, moderation, and moderated mediation—ensuring every relationship is anchored in explicit theoretical mechanisms (e.g., social exchange theory, conservation of resources, information processing) rather than simple correlation or intuition, eliminating frequent reviewer rejection points.
Key Features
01Dual-stage mediation and moderated mediation path specification frameworks
02Three-step mechanism repair toolkit: theory naming, process chaining, and competitive exclusion
03Pre-submission self-check checklist targeting common academic review anti-patterns
04Explicit theoretical mechanism derivation for main, mediating, and moderating hypotheses

06Structural consistency auditing between conceptual models (Figure 1) and numbered hypotheses
Use Cases
01Revising manuscript hypothesis sections in response to peer review feedback questioning theoretical depth
02Formulating theoretically sound hypothesis systems for Nankai Business Review paper submissions
03Upgrading intuitive or correlation-based hypothesis drafts into rigorous mechanism chains
