revacc-review-process
Use when calibrating expectations for the Review of Accounting Studies (RAST) review cycle — its fast, first-round-decision culture, double-blind process, the RAST Conference path, and when to consider a sibling venue. Sets expectations and strategy; it does not run the submission preflight (revacc-submission) or draft the response letter (revacc-rebuttal).

# Review Process (revacc-review-process) ## When to trigger - You have submitted to RAST and want to understand what the timeline and decision will look like - You received a terse first-round decision and need to interpret it - You are deciding whether RAST's fast, decisive process fits your paper's stage of polish - You are weighing the **RAST Conference** path against the regular track - You are choosing between RAST and a sibling (TAR/JAR/JAE/CAR) on process grounds ## RAST's distinguishing process culture RAST advertises **prompt turnaround** and — importantly — an explicit tradition of making an **accept/reject decision on the first round for the majority of manuscripts**, rather than running paper after paper through multiple R&R cycles (待核实; 检索于 2026-06；以官网为准). This shapes strategy more than any other RAST fact: - **The first submission must be near-final.** Because many papers get a first-round decision, you do not get the long iterative runway some journals offer. Identification, the model, exhibits, and the contribution should be settled *before* you submit — there may be no second chance to fix them. - **Decisions can be terse.** A first-round reject may come with limit

What does the revacc-review-process skill do?
Use when calibrating expectations for the Review of Accounting Studies (RAST) review cycle — its fast, first-round-decision culture, double-blind process, the RAST Conference path, and when to consider a sibling venue.

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