Use when navigating the Mathematical Finance (Wiley) review process — single-blind editor screening, associate-editor handling, and referees who verify proofs line by line. Explains what reviewers at this theory venue check first, common desk-screen failure patterns for theorem-first papers, and how to read review-stage signals.

# Review Process (mathfin-review-process) ## When to trigger - Before submission, to understand the editor and referee lens - After submission, to interpret review-stage status - When deciding whether a theorem-first paper is ready for this journal ## Process facts The accessible Wiley author-guideline text identifies **single-blind peer review**: the editor screens submissions, suitable papers may be assigned to an Associate Editor, outside referees may be consulted, and the Associate Editor prepares a recommendation. The current Wiley product-page metadata checked on 2026-06-20 lists Rama Cont as editor; reopen the live product or editorial-board page before naming the editor in advice to an author. ## What reviewers evaluate - Methodological novelty in financial mathematics - Contribution to financial modelling, not only mathematical difficulty - Correctness and self-contained completeness of proofs - Precision of assumptions and notation - Whether numerical experiments support theory rather than substitute for it - Fit with the journal's stochastic-analysis and financial-modelling audience ## Desk-risk triggers - Routine computational application to financial data - Missing pro

What does the mathfin-review-process skill do?
Use when navigating the Mathematical Finance (Wiley) review process — single-blind editor screening, associate-editor handling, and referees who verify proofs line by line. Explains what reviewers at this theory venue check first, common desk-screen failure patterns for theorem-first papers, and how to read review-stage signals.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill mathfin-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.
