# Understanding JAE's Review Process (jae-review-process) ## When to trigger - You want realistic expectations before submitting - A decision letter arrived and you need to read it correctly - You are weighing the regular pipeline against the JAE Conference route - You are unsure who decides and how final the decision is ## How JAE review works 1. **Editor suitability screen.** Every submission is first assessed by an editor for suitability. Because JAE enforces a high **economics-relevance bar**, papers judged off-fit (normative, behavioral, practitioner-oriented, or thin on economic mechanism) can be **desk-rejected without review** or redirected to another journal via Elsevier's **Article Transfer Service**. 2. **Double-anonymized review.** Suitable papers go to a **minimum of two** independent expert reviewers; author and reviewer identities are concealed from each other. 3. **Editor decision.** The **Editor makes the final decision, and that decision is final.** Treat JAE as a compact editor-final model rather than INFORMS-style departmental area-editor routing.

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