jcf-workflow
Use when orchestrating the full Journal of Corporate Finance (JCF) manuscript lifecycle — from a corporate-finance question through identification, robustness, the US$340 fee submission via Editorial Manager, single-anonymized review, and R&R. Routes to the other eleven jcf-* skills with stage gates; it coordinates, it does not draft content.

# JCF Manuscript Workflow (jcf-workflow) ## When to trigger - Starting a new empirical or theoretical corporate-finance paper aimed at JCF - Deciding which jcf-* skill to invoke next at a given stage - Sanity-checking that the project fits JCF's scope and process before investing ## What JCF is (verified; re-confirm on the official guide) The **Journal of Corporate Finance** is an **Elsevier** journal publishing **original manuscripts or shorter format papers** in **empirical and theoretical corporate finance** — financial structure, governance, payout, financial contracting, risk management, innovation, M&A, and international corporate finance, including intersections with macro, asset pricing, household/behavioral finance, fintech/blockchain, law, financial intermediation, and market microstructure. ## Stage map (route to the named skill) 1. **Fit & question** → `jcf-topic-selection` (scope fit, "shorter format" option) 2. **Positioning** → `jcf-literature-positioning` (corporate-finance lineage) 3. **Design** → `jcf-identification-strategy` (causal credibility for firm data) 4. **Evidence** → `jcf-data-analysis` (WRDS-era panels, robustness) 5. **Exhibits** → `jcf-tables-figures

What does the jcf-workflow skill do?
Use when orchestrating the full Journal of Corporate Finance (JCF) manuscript lifecycle — from a corporate-finance question through identification, robustness, the US$340 fee submission via Editorial Manager, single-anonymized review, and R&R.

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