ajps-research-design

separate

Use when defending the research design of an American Journal of Political Science (AJPS) manuscript — causal identification for observational work, experimental and survey-experimental design, formal-empirical linkage, or case-based inference. AJPS reviewers are quantitatively demanding, so identification must license the claim being made. Strengthens the design; it does not write code.

When to use

• Specifying identification, sampling, case selection, or experimental design
• Defending causal claims, confounds, external validity, or inference
• Preparing a pre-analysis plan
• Justifying design adjudication of rival explanations
• Quantitative and causal inference design
• Experiments (lab, survey, field) design
• Formal-empirical linkage
• Case-based, qualitative, and multi-method design

When not to use

• Writing code
