Many top journals demand papers make theoretical contributions, but what does that mean exactly? It has become common for authors to add one or more paragraphs to introductions that name contributions, often insisting on three, but like the king in Hans Christian Andersen’s “The Emperor’s New Clothes”, a close read reveals that many of these statements are naked of content. Our hope is to produce something that will help scholars more succinctly discuss contributions.
