The confirmed 2022-2024 term was held by **Atsushi Inoue** and **Ivan Canay**; current Joint Editors are **Yingying Fan**, **Michael Kolesár**, and **Dacheng Xiu** per the official T&F search snippet.

About this skill
What does the jbes-review-process skill do?

Use when planning around the Journal of Business & Economic Statistics (JBES) peer-review process — the multi-Co-Editor model, what method referees scrutinize, and the discussion-paper tradition. Sets expectations; it does not draft the response letter (see jbes-rebuttal).

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill jbes-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.
