# Referee Strategy (aejmic-referee-strategy) ## When to trigger - Before submission, to stress-test the paper against the objections experts will raise - Deciding whether the contribution clears the desk-reject bar - Choosing JEL codes / framing that route the paper to the right co-editor - Unsure what the AEJ: Micro review process looks like ## The AEJ: Micro process (检索于 2026-06；以官网为准) - AEJ: Micro uses **single-blind** review via the AEA submission system: the referee sees the author, but referees are anonymous to authors. There is no anonymization burden — reputation is visible, so the paper must stand on rigor. - There is a **submission fee** (AEA member $200 high-income / $100 middle / $0 low; nonmember higher — 检索于 2026-06，volatile), and JEL classification per AEA practice helps route the paper to the right co-editor and expert referees. - Decisions run the usual ladder: desk reject → reject after review → R&R (minor/major) → accept. Theory referees verify proofs; a flawed or non-tight proof is a common reject reason. - Re-confirm fee, timelines, and co-editor list on the official AEA AEJ: Micro page (see `resources/official-source-map.md`). ## Objections AEJ: Micro referees

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill aejmic-referee-strategy --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills, a repository with 909 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
