# Referee Strategy (jeea-referee-strategy) ## When to trigger - Before submission, to stress-test the paper against the objections it will draw - You want to gauge desk-reject risk and the realistic timeline - A co-author asks "what will the referees attack?" - You need to decide what to pre-empt in the paper vs. leave for the response ## The JEEA review reality (source map refreshed 2026-06-20) JEEA review is **single-blind**: referees know the authors. Every submission is first read by a **co-editor**, who may **desk-reject without peer review** if the fit or contribution is not strong enough for a general-interest journal; otherwise it goes to referees. The editorial team aims for a **fast decision (≈8 weeks where possible)**. Because the co-editor is a general-interest gatekeeper (not necessarily a subfield specialist), the **first hurdle is general-interest fit and a legible contribution**, not subfield depth. Re-verify volatile process facts on the EEA / OUP pages. ## The objections to pre-empt (by source) | Objection | Pre-emption in the paper | |-----------|--------------------------| | "Not general interest enough" (desk-reject risk) | `jeea-topic-selection` + `jeea-litera

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill jeea-referee-strategy --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 984 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.
