jfqa-review-process
Use when explaining how the Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis (JFQA) review process works — double-anonymous peer review, the seven-Managing-Editor structure, the $350 fee with $275 refund if not sent to a reviewer, and the under-9-percent acceptance reality. Use to set expectations for what happens after you submit and how decisions are made.

# JFQA Review Process (jfqa-review-process) Use this skill to understand what happens to a **JFQA** manuscript after submission, so you submit informed and read decision letters correctly. ## Who decides - JFQA has **no single Editor-in-Chief**. It is led by a team of **seven Managing Editors** (as of 2026): Hendrik Bessembinder, Ran Duchin, Thierry Foucault, Jarrad Harford, Kai Li, George Pennacchi, and Stephan Siegel, supported by advisory editors and 50+ associate editors. - A Managing Editor is assigned per paper; that editor decides whether to desk-reject or send the paper to reviewer(s). (The specific handling editor is assigned per submission — 待核实 for any individual case.) ## The review model - **Double-anonymous** peer review (Cambridge Core terminology). Author-identifying information is removed and the manuscript PDF is sent **blind to the reviewer(s)**. Anonymize accordingly (see jfqa-writing-style / jfqa-submission). ## Fee and the desk-screen economics - A **$350 submission fee** (credit card only) is charged up front. If the Managing Editor elects **not** to send the paper to a reviewer, **$275 is refunded** — so a desk reject still costs you **$75** in handling. Bud

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