# Review Process (jbf-review-process) ## When to trigger - Before submitting, to understand how JBF handles a manuscript - After submission, to interpret status changes in Editorial Manager - When deciding how to engage with the fee, the desk screen, and reviewers ## How JBF review works (verified 2026-06-20) - **Publisher / platform.** Elsevier; the editorial pipeline runs in **Editorial Manager**, reached from the journal homepage on ScienceDirect. - **Managing Editor.** **Christa Bouwman** (Texas A&M University) is listed by ScienceDirect as Managing Editor. Current Co-Editors are **Edith Hotchkiss** and **Xiaoyan Zhang**. - **The fee funds review quality.** The **USD 350 non-refundable** submission fee is explicitly used to fund academic activities and **reviewer rewards for timely, high-quality reports**. This is unusual among top finance journals and signals an emphasis on review turnaround. - **Desk screen first.** Editors can **desk-reject without sending the paper to referees** — even after the fee is paid. A clean, on-scope, well-anonymized submission is what clears this first screen. Free **SSRN** posting becomes available once the paper passes this initial desk review.

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