# RFS Manuscript Workflow (rfs-workflow) ## Overview This is the router. It does not replace any specialized skill — it tells you **which rfs-* skill to use right now**. Default assumption: unless the user says otherwise, treat the target as **The Review of Financial Studies (RFS)** — founded 1988 (first editor Michael Brennan), published by Oxford University Press for the Society for Financial Studies (SFS), one of the "top-3" finance journals alongside the *Journal of Finance* (AFA) and the *Journal of Financial Economics* (Elsevier). The current **Executive Editor is Tarun Ramadorai** (LSE / Imperial, term 2024–2027); the editor team includes Viral Acharya (NYU), Xavier Giroud (Columbia), Andrey Malenko (Boston College), Anna Pavlova (LBS), Clemens Sialm (UT Austin), David Sraer (Berkeley), and Jessica Wachter (Penn). RFS shares JF/JFE's high causal-inference and asset-pricing bar but has two distinctive levers JF/JFE do not share: (1) it is the **first finance/economics journal to run Registered Reports** (pre-results review; see Karolyi's 2014 editorial "Kick-Starting the Review Process," RFS 27(2)), and (2) it offers **dual submission with the SFS Cavalcade** conference.

What does the rfs-workflow skill do?
Use when deciding which rfs-* sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing manuscript work from topic selection through rebuttal for a The Review of Financial Studies (RFS) manuscript. Routes — does not replace — the specialized skills.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill rfs-workflow --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.
