Use when you need to understand and plan around the Journal of Human Resources (JHR) editorial process — single-anonymous review, the fast desk-reject without outside review, the reconciliation requirement, and the optional review-recycling shortcut. Sets expectations; it does not draft the paper.

Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Editorial Process (jhr-review-process) ## When to trigger - Setting expectations on timelines and decision types at JHR - Deciding whether to attach a prior journal's reports to speed review - Understanding why a paper might be desk-rejected without referees - Wanting to pre-empt the reconciliation / sensitivity demands referees apply ## How JHR review works (verified 2026-06-01) - **Single-anonymous (single-blind):** "Referees are anonymous, but author names are not kept from reviewers." The process is run by the **Editor (Anna Aizer, Brown; Michael Lovenheim, Cornell, from 2026-07-01)**, coeditors, and associate editors, with volunteer expert reviewers. - **Fast desk-reject WITHOUT outside review.** Papers a handling editor/coeditor judges unlikely to survive review are **released quickly without being sent to referees**, at the editor's discretion. The **$175 fee does not guarantee outside review** and is **not refunded** for out-of-scope (management/personnel) papers — so the desk screen is the first real hurdle. - **Reconciliation requirement (distinctive):** manuscripts are judged partly on whether they **reconcile their results with prior published work** on the same topic

Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill jhr-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.
