What it does

Ecj Submission is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when running the final pre-submission preflight for a The Economic Journal (EJ) manuscript via Editorial Express — single PDF format, author-date references, single-blind review, JEL codes and keywords, full-length vs. short-paper choice, submission-fee awareness, funding disclosure, and the RES/EJ data-and-code policy. Final mechanical gate; it does not improve the economic argument.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files (for example `templates/checklist.md` and `templates/manuscript_template.md`).

It sits in Documents & Office. The repository describes itself as: Journal-specific Claude Code/Codex skill packs covering mainstream journals — AER, QJE, Nature, Cell, 管理世界, 经济研究 & 200+ more — your fast track to getting published. | 覆盖主流期刊的… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Running the final pre-submission preflight for a The Economic Journal (EJ) manuscript via Editorial Express — single PDF format
  • Author-date references
  • Single-blind review
  • JEL codes and keywords

Example prompts

  • “/ecj-submission”

Requirements

  • Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 932eb23. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Ecj Submission loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 102 tokens; SKILL.md has 718 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~102
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.8k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Use when running the final pre-submission preflight for a The Economic Journal (EJ) manuscript via Editorial Express — single PDF format, author-date references, single-blind review, JEL codes and keywords, full-length vs. short-paper choice, submission-fee awareness, funding disclosure, and the RES/EJ data-and-code policy. Final mechanical gate; it does not improve the economic argument.

Submission Preflight (ecj-submission)

When to trigger

  • "Submitting tomorrow" — the last mechanical check before pressing submit
  • Unsure what the Editorial Express portal requires as files and metadata
  • Confirming format, references, review model, and data policy are EJ-correct
  • Deciding finally between the full-length and short-paper routes

Process facts (verified 2026-06-20; re-confirm on the official OUP/RES pages)

  • EJ (founded 1891, the Royal Economic Society's flagship, published by Oxford University Press; editor-in-chief Francesco Lippi) is submitted through the Editorial Express portal (editorialexpress.com), not ScholarOne. The submission must be a single PDF including appendices (but not the cover letter or past reports).
  • Review model: single-blind — referee identities are kept from authors as far as possible, but authors are not anonymized, so do not strip your identity from the manuscript. This differs from a double-blind journal.
  • Short-paper option: EJ encourages short papers in the AER:Insights style — roughly <6,000 words and ~5 exhibits; full-length articles may be longer. Choose the route deliberately.
  • Metadata: JEL classification codes and keywords are entered in Editorial Express; provide title, abstract, authors, and affiliations.
  • References: author-date style. The accepted-author guide gives EJ-style examples and asks for an alphabetized, then chronological, reference list; data and replication packages should be cited.
  • Accepted-author production limits: short title 40 characters or fewer, abstract 100 words or fewer, and keywords 20 characters or fewer each. Treat these as production-stage limits and keep submission metadata comfortably within them unless the live portal says otherwise.
  • Submission fee: RES charges for each new EJ submission: current listed fees (re-verified 2026-06-22; non-member rate updated effective 8 May 2026) are GBP 248 for non-members, GBP 50 for student / Tier A / unemployed members, and GBP 113 for Tier B-C-D members / Fellows, before 20% VAT. Resubmissions are not charged. Re-confirm the live RES fee table before paying.
  • Funding: all sources of research funding must be acknowledged in the manuscript.
  • Data & code: EJ runs pre-acceptance reproducibility checks (since July 2019) via the EJ Data Editor; the package is deposited to Zenodo at acceptance under the RES policy (DCAS-endorsed). Request any data exemption at first submission (see ecj-replication-package).

Pre-submission checklist

Format
  • Manuscript is a single PDF including appendices (cover letter and past reports separate)
  • Sections ordered logically (intro → model/theory → data → strategy → results → mechanisms/robustness → conclusion)
  • Equations numbered and referenced as "equation (n)"
  • Figures legible in grayscale; tables self-contained with full notes
  • Online appendix material prepared (proofs, full robustness, descriptive tables)
  • Short paper? within ~6,000 words / ~5 exhibits; full-length? exposition complete
References (house style)
  • Author-date citations throughout — not numbered/bracket
  • Reference list complete; alphabetized then chronological for each author
  • Dataset and replication-package citations included where relevant
  • Every in-text citation appears in the list; every list entry is cited
Show full SKILL.md (279 more words)Show less
Review model & identity (EJ is single-blind)
  • Confirm format target: full-length article or short paper (AER:Insights-style)
  • Author identities are visible to referees, so no manuscript anonymization is required
  • Title page with authors, affiliations, acknowledgments, and funding sources included
  • Submission fee category known; payment path ready for a new submission
Data, code & policy
  • RES/EJ data-and-code policy reviewed (DCAS, EJ Data Editor, Zenodo); package staged (see ecj-replication-package)
  • Restricted/proprietary data: exemption requested at first submission
  • Not under review elsewhere; no duplicate/overlapping submission
Exhibits & supplementary
  • Main-text exhibits report economic magnitudes, not stars alone
  • Online appendix complete and referenced from the main text
  • Any restricted-data documentation prepared
Portal metadata (Editorial Express)
  • Title and abstract entered; accepted-author abstract cap is 100 words
  • JEL classification codes entered
  • Keywords entered; accepted-author guide asks each keyword to be 20 characters or fewer
  • All co-authors and affiliations correct; corresponding author set
  • Suggested referees (and any opposed referees) prepared with brief justification
  • One-page cover letter: question, contribution, fit with EJ's broad-interest mandate

Anti-patterns

  • Wasting effort anonymizing the manuscript — EJ is single-blind, so author identity is expected
  • Numbered citations left in from a different journal's template instead of author-date
  • Submitting via ScholarOne by habit — EJ uses Editorial Express
  • Padding a clean short result to full length instead of using the short-paper route (or vice versa)
  • Forgetting to acknowledge funding sources, or omitting JEL codes/keywords in the portal
  • Requesting a restricted-data exemption only at acceptance instead of at first submission

Output format

【Target】full-length article / short paper (AER:Insights-style)
【Format】single PDF incl. appendices, exhibits OK? [y/n]
【References】author-date; list alphabetical/chronological; data citations included? [y/n]

【Funding】acknowledged in manuscript? [y/n]
【Replication】DCAS package staged; exemption (if any) at first submission? [y/n]
【Next】await decision / on R&R → ecj-rebuttal
