jde-submission
Use when running the final pre-submission preflight for the Journal of Development Economics (JDE) via Editorial Manager — route selection, single-anonymized review, USD 50 submission fee, replication readiness, language consistency, and route-specific length caps. Final checks; it does not draft content.

# Submission Preflight (jde-submission) ## When to trigger - "Submitting tomorrow" — last check before pressing submit on Editorial Manager - Unsure which files and metadata Editorial Manager expects - Confirming the chosen route's limits (full-length / short-paper / pre-results) are met - Checking the replication package, declarations, and language consistency ## Process facts (verified 2026-06-20; editors + fees re-verified 2026-06-22; re-confirm volatile items on the official page) - JDE is published by **Elsevier** and submitted through **Editorial Manager**. It is the **leading field journal in development economics**, edited by Editors-in-Chief **A. Foster** (Brown) and **K. Macours** (Paris School of Economics) — re-verified 2026-06-22; re-confirm on the ScienceDirect editorial-board page before naming them in a cover letter. - Review is **single-anonymized** (referees know the author; the author does not know referees). **Do not anonymize** the manuscript as if it were double-blind unless the current guidance changes. - A **USD 50 non-refundable submission fee** applies to original manuscripts. Open access is optional and charged only after acceptance; the current APC is **

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