What it does

Ier Submission is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when running the final pre-submission preflight for an International Economic Review (IER) manuscript via the Editorial Express portal — the submission fee gate, the ≤50-page limit, format and style, proprietary-data notification, and the AER data policy. Final checks; it does not draft content.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.9k 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`).

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

  • The ≤50-page limit
  • Format and style
  • Proprietary-data notification
  • The AER data policy

Example prompts

  • “/ier-submission”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Confirm the live Editorial Express link and the format it expects.
  2. Verify the manuscript is ≤50 pages double-spaced; if over, move overflow to the online appendix now, not after.
  3. Strip any significance asterisks; confirm exhibit notes are self-contained.
  4. Have payment ready for the US$150 / ¥15,000 fee — and remember review does not start until it clears.
  5. If any data are proprietary/restricted, ensure the cover note to the Editor flags it at this submission.
  6. Attach the cover letter that makes the general-interest case (from ier-referee-strategy).

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

Ier Submission loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 79 tokens; SKILL.md has 939 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~79
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.9k

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.

description
Use when running the final pre-submission preflight for an International Economic Review (IER) manuscript via the Editorial Express portal — the submission fee gate, the ≤50-page limit, format and style, proprietary-data notification, and the AER data policy. Final checks; it does not draft content.

Submission Preflight (ier-submission)

When to trigger

  • "Submitting tomorrow" — last check before uploading to the IER portal
  • Unsure which files, fee, and format the IER submission expects
  • Confirming the manuscript is within the page limit and conforms to house style
  • Deciding whether proprietary data require notifying the Editor now (it does — at submission)

Process facts (检索于 2026-06；editor + US$150 fee re-verified 2026-06-22；以官网为准)

  • IER is owned by the University of Pennsylvania Department of Economics and Osaka University's Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER), published with Wiley; founded 1960 as a forum for modern quantitative economics. It appears five times a year (Feb, May, Aug, Oct, Dec). Editor (re-verified 2026-06-22): Dirk Krueger (Penn); Co-editor Masaki Aoyagi (Osaka, ISER) — re-verify before naming in a cover letter.
  • Portal: submission is through Editorial Express (editorialexpress.com/ier) — not ScholarOne/Manuscript Central. Verify the live link before submitting.
  • Submission fee: US$150 (or ¥15,000), payable at submission. The manuscript is not reviewed until the fee is received. No student waiver is stated on the page (待核实).
  • Length: not more than 50 pages, single-sided, double-spaced. Manuscripts must conform to the style guidelines (available on request from the editorial office).
  • Copyright: assignment to the University of Pennsylvania and Osaka University is a publication condition.
  • Data policy: the AER data availability policy (effective Jan 1, 2022) applies; deposit is post-acceptance, but proprietary or restricted data must be flagged to the Editor at the time of submission.
  • Peer review model, exact abstract limit, and reference style are 待核实 — confirm in the style guidelines / official pages before relying on them.
  • Open Access is optional at acceptance with an article processing charge (Wiley lists it around US$3,570 / £2,330 / €3,010; verify the current amount — 检索于 2026-06；以官网为准). This APC is separate from and additional to the US$150 submission fee; do not conflate them.
The two-cost structure that trips up first-time submitters

IER has an unusual cost profile worth flagging to the user up front: a submission fee of US$150 paid at submission (and the paper is genuinely not reviewed until it clears — this is a hard gate, not a formality), and a separate, optional Open-Access APC of several thousand dollars only if the author chooses OA at acceptance. Non-OA publication does not incur the APC. Many authors confuse the two; the submission fee is small and mandatory, the APC is large and optional. Budget and plan for the right one.

Preflight checklist

Format & length
  • Manuscript ≤50 pages, double-spaced, single-sided
  • Conforms to the IER style guidelines (request from the editorial office if not held); reference style consistent (待核实 for exact format)
  • Figures and tables legible, self-contained notes, no significance asterisks (SEs/confidence sets instead)
  • Abstract present (exact word limit 待核实); title page with affiliations and JEL/keywords
  • Online/supplemental appendix carries long proofs and secondary exhibits so the main text fits the ceiling
Files & fee for Editorial Express
  • Main manuscript PDF; supplementary/online appendix as a separate file
  • Submission fee (US$150 / ¥15,000) ready — manuscript is not reviewed until paid
  • Confirmed the live portal link (editorialexpress.com/ier) before uploading
Declarations & policy
  • Proprietary/restricted data flagged to the Editor at submission (AER-policy requirement)
  • Replication deposit plan ready for conditional acceptance (README PDF, repository, data availability statement) — see ier-replication-package
  • Confirmed the paper is not under review elsewhere; AI not listed as an author
  • Cover letter makes the general-interest case and draws the sibling boundary (from ier-referee-strategy)

Fitting the contribution into 50 double-spaced pages

The ≤50-page, double-spaced ceiling is tighter than it looks — double spacing roughly halves the words per page relative to a single-spaced working-paper draft. Authors used to long working papers routinely arrive over the limit. The disciplined fix, decided before the final preflight, is a clean main-text / online-appendix split: the main text carries the model, the headline results, the one or two decisive robustness checks, and the key exhibits; the online appendix carries long proofs, secondary derivations, additional robustness, and overflow tables. Plan this split during ier-writing-style and ier-tables-figures, not at the submission deadline, so the main text reads as a complete, self-contained argument within the ceiling.

Portal and format confirmation before upload

Because IER uses Editorial Express rather than the ScholarOne/Manuscript Central system most economists default to, confirm the live portal URL and the exact upload format it expects before the deadline. Verify the current style-guideline requirements (request them from the editorial office if you do not hold them), since exact abstract length and reference format are 待核实 and can change. A last-minute discovery that the portal or format differs from expectation is an avoidable delay on a paper that is otherwise ready.

Anti-patterns

  • Uploading and assuming review starts — at IER nothing happens until the $150 fee clears
  • Submitting over the 50-page limit, or single-spaced
  • Significance asterisks or figures/tables that need the body text to be read
  • Discovering proprietary-data restrictions at acceptance instead of flagging them at submission
  • Looking for a ScholarOne portal — IER uses Editorial Express
  • Treating the Open-Access APC (if chosen at acceptance) as if it were the submission fee
Last-mile sequence on submission day
  1. Confirm the live Editorial Express link and the format it expects.
  2. Verify the manuscript is ≤50 pages double-spaced; if over, move overflow to the online appendix now, not after.
  3. Strip any significance asterisks; confirm exhibit notes are self-contained.
  4. Have payment ready for the US$150 / ¥15,000 fee — and remember review does not start until it clears.
  5. If any data are proprietary/restricted, ensure the cover note to the Editor flags it at this submission.
  6. Attach the cover letter that makes the general-interest case (from ier-referee-strategy).

Run this list once more right before pressing submit; the fee gate and the page ceiling are the two items that most often delay an otherwise-ready paper.
