# Review Process (ectheory-review-process) ## When to trigger - You want to anticipate how ET referees will read a theorem-proof paper before you submit - Unsure what single-anonymous review means for anonymization and self-citation - Choosing among ET article types (Article, Miscellanea, and the invited ET Interview) - War-gaming the objections a careful theory referee will raise ## ET's review model: single-anonymous ET uses **single-anonymous peer review**: "the author does not know the identity of the reviewers, but the reviewers know the identity of the author." Practical implications: - **Do not anonymize the manuscript** the way a double-blind journal requires — your identity is visible to referees. Self-citation can be in natural voice, but argue the contribution on merit. - Editorial leadership transitioned on **1 January 2026** to three joint Editors-in-Chief (Guggenberger, Su, Sun), succeeding founding editor Phillips; the program now includes invited papers with discussions and themed special issues. ## Article types - **Articles** — Regular, plus Invited, Themed, and ET-lecture papers; full-length theorem-proof contributions (must not exceed 50 pages; overflow → online

What does the ectheory-review-process skill do?

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill ectheory-review-process --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.
