jfi-review-process
Use when navigating the Journal of Financial Intermediation (JFI) editorial process — the active desk-rejection policy, single-anonymized (single-blind) review with at least one expert referee when sent out, the tightly limited appeal path, and the option to choose the Managing Editor. It sets expectations; it does not draft content.

Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Review Process (jfi-review-process) ## When to trigger - Before submission, to calibrate expectations on timing, odds, and what "single-blind" implies - After a decision, to understand what is (and is not) negotiable - Deciding whether to request a specific Managing Editor ## Process facts (verified 2026-06-22; re-confirm on the official Guide for Authors) - **Active desk-rejection.** The process is explicitly designed so a large share of submissions are rejected **without full review**. A clean, well-targeted submission is part of clearing this screen. - **Editor-first triage.** Papers are first assessed by the editor for suitability; suitable papers are typically sent to at least **one independent expert reviewer** — fewer than the two common at many finance journals. - **Single-anonymized (single-blind) review.** Referees see the authors' identities; authors do **not** see referee identities. You do **not** need to anonymize the manuscript body. - **Narrow appeal path.** Elsevier permits an appeal route, but only one appeal per submission is considered and the appeal decision is final. Plan as if the desk and referee rounds must win up front. - **Choose your Managing Editor.**

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.
