jar-review-process
Use when setting expectations for how Journal of Accounting Research (JAR) review and decisions work, or when reading a JAR decision letter — the Senior-Editor-panel structure, double-anonymized review, the desk-screen and tiered-fee gate, and the distinctive Ray Ball Conference and Registered Reports tracks. Explains the process; it does not draft the R&R response (jar-rebuttal).

# Understanding the JAR Review Process (jar-review-process) ## When to trigger - Before submitting, to understand what to expect at JAR specifically - A decision letter arrived and you need to read it correctly - You are deciding between the regular track, a Registered Report, or the conference - You are unsure how the editor-panel structure assigns and decides papers ## How JAR is governed and decides JAR has **no single editor-in-chief**. It is run by a panel of **Senior Editors** (as of 2026-06-22: Philip G. Berger, Anna Costello, Luzi Hail, Valeri Nikolaev, Haresh Sapra, Laurence van Lent, Regina Wittenberg Moerman; Christian Leuz stepped down June 30, 2025 and Hans B. Christensen joins July 1, 2026 — re-verify the masthead), supported by ~18 Associate Editors and Editorial Manager Lisa M. Heiberger. A submission is assigned to a Senior Editor who, typically with one or more Associate Editors and external referees, runs a **double-anonymized** review of regular manuscripts. The journal is sponsored by the **Chookaszian Accounting Research Center at Chicago Booth** and published with Wiley-Blackwell — a single-center "house" identity rather than a scholarly-society journal. ## G

What does the jar-review-process skill do?
Use when setting expectations for how Journal of Accounting Research (JAR) review and decisions work, or when reading a JAR decision letter — the Senior-Editor-panel structure, double-anonymized review, the desk-screen and tiered-fee gate, and the distinctive Ray Ball Conference and Registered Reports tracks. Explains the process; it does not draft the R&R response (jar-rebuttal).
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill jar-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.
