Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Internet Appendix (jf-internet-appendix) ## When to trigger - The main text is bloated with proofs, secondary robustness tables, or data-construction detail - A referee will ask for more checks but the article is near the 60-page limit - You are unsure how JF wants the Internet Appendix submitted and hosted - The main result is buried on page 40 behind diagnostics ## JF's actual Internet Appendix policy The "Internet Appendix" is a **JF convention**. JF's specifics differ from generic "online appendices": - **At submission, the Internet Appendix is placed at the END of the same PDF as the manuscript — NOT uploaded as a separate file.** Put the title **"Internet Appendix"** at the top of its first page so it is not mistaken for a regular appendix. - The Internet Appendix **does not count toward JF's 60-page manuscript limit** (manuscript: ≤60 pp, ≥1.5 spacing, 12-pt font). - The **paper must be self-contained**: a reader must understand the study in full **without** consulting the Internet Appendix. - **On acceptance**, the appendix is published as the **Internet Appendix with the online article on the publisher's (Wiley) site**. > Source: afajof.org/submissions and the JF Submiss

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