What it does

Imfer Submission is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when running the final pre-submission preflight for an IMF Economic Review (IMFER) manuscript via Editorial Manager — double-blind anonymization, italicized abstract with JEL codes, Chicago style, separate author-bio file, and the data-availability statement. Final checks; it does not draft content (imfer-writing-style) or plan the rebuttal (imfer-rebuttal).

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 Research & Science, covering Brand voice and tone. 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 an IMF Economic Review (IMFER) manuscript via Editorial Manager — double-blind anonymization
  • Italicized abstract with JEL codes
  • Separate author-bio file
  • The data-availability statement

Example prompts

  • “/imfer-submission”

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

Imfer Submission loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 95 tokens; SKILL.md has 749 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~95
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 an IMF Economic Review (IMFER) manuscript via Editorial Manager — double-blind anonymization, italicized abstract with JEL codes, Chicago style, separate author-bio file, and the data-availability statement. Final checks; it does not draft content (imfer-writing-style) or plan the rebuttal (imfer-rebuttal).

Submission Preflight (imfer-submission)

When to trigger

  • "Submitting tomorrow" — last check before pressing submit on Editorial Manager
  • Unsure which files IMFER expects (anonymized main file, separate title/bio file, supplementary appendix)
  • Confirming house style: italicized abstract, JEL codes, Chicago citations, American spelling
  • Confirming the double-blind requirements are met and no author traces remain in the main file

Process facts (检索于 2026-06;以官网为准)

  • IMFER is the IMF's flagship scholarly journal, published by Palgrave Macmillan / Springer Nature for the International Monetary Fund (Online via Springer Nature Link, journal 41308); successor to IMF Staff Papers. Submission is via the journal's online system (Editorial Manager) — confirm the live portal on the official page.
  • Editor (verified 2026-06-22): Jesús Fernández-Villaverde (Penn); Co-Editor: Emine Boz (IMF). Earlier Gourinchas/Kose listings are stale. Re-verify on the live Palgrave board before naming an editor.
  • Double-blind review: the main article file and all table/figure files must not contain any author-identifying information; anonymize self-citations.
  • Author information separate: full contact details and author biographies go in a separate file; biographies ≤80 words per author.
  • Abstract + JEL: the paper opens with an italicized abstract followed by JEL classification codes.
  • Style: essentially The Chicago Manual of Style; American spelling, punctuation, and syntax.
  • Data & code: prepare a data-availability statement and replication package; restricted IMF/central-bank inputs handled with access instructions, not redistribution (see imfer-replication-package). Confirm exact deposit requirements on the official pages — 待核实.
  • Fees / open access / exact length & abstract-word limits: 待核实 — not asserted here; confirm on the Springer Nature IMFER submission-guidelines page before relying on them.

Preflight checklist

Double-blind & files
  • Main article file and every table/figure file are free of author names, affiliations, acknowledgments, and grant numbers
  • Self-citations anonymized in text and references
  • Separate file with full contact details (corresponding author) and author bios ≤80 words each
  • Supplementary / online appendix prepared as a separate file if used
  • Replication package / data-availability statement ready (restricted-data access instructions included)
Format & house style
  • Abstract is italicized, compact, self-contained, with a policy-unit magnitude
  • JEL codes present immediately after the abstract
  • Chicago Manual of Style citations/references; American spelling
  • Figures/tables: transparent country coverage; no significance asterisks; SEs/CIs reported
  • Acronyms (CFM, DSA, GFC) defined on first use
Substance gate (before the portal)
  • Policy "so what" explicit in intro and abstract; implication bounded to the evidence
  • Identification + country-composition checks visible in the main paper
  • Not under review elsewhere; AI not listed as an author
File-by-file upload map

Editorial Manager expects the manuscript split across files; have them ready and correctly typed before you start the session, because the system will not let you finish without them.

  • Main manuscript (anonymized PDF): abstract (italic) + JEL + body + exhibits + references, no author traces
  • Title / author file (separate): title, all authors, affiliations, corresponding-author contacts, ≤80-word bios, acknowledgments, grant numbers
  • Supplementary / online appendix (separate): secondary proofs, reserve robustness, extended tables
  • Replication / data-availability material: the statement plus package or access instructions (per imfer-replication-package)
  • Cover letter: the contribution in two sentences and the policy relevance; suggested/excluded referees if invited
Show full SKILL.md (267 more words)Show less

Anti-patterns

  • Submitting a main file that still names the authors or institution (breaks double-blind)
  • Putting bios/contact details in the main file instead of a separate file
  • A non-italicized abstract or missing JEL codes
  • Asterisks/boldface for significance; opaque country coverage
  • British spelling / non-Chicago references against house style
  • Asserting a fee, word limit, or deposit rule that is actually 待核实
  • Leaving acknowledgments, grant numbers, or a self-naming working-paper footnote that de-anonymizes the file

The double-blind sweep (do this last)

Anonymization is the most common IMFER desk-return trigger, and it is easy to half-do. Before upload, sweep the main file and every exhibit file for: author names and initials; institutional affiliations; acknowledgments and thanks; grant and IRB numbers; "as we showed in [our prior paper]" self-references; working-paper series footnotes that name the authors; and file metadata/properties that embed the author. Self-citations should read in the third person. The title page, full contacts, and ≤80-word bios live in the separate file the system asks for — never in the manuscript.

Worked vignette (illustrative)

A paper is otherwise ready but the PDF's first-page footnote thanks a discussant "at our department seminar," the acknowledgments name the grant, and Table 1's note says "see Smith and Lee (2024), our companion paper." All three break double-blind. The fix: move acknowledgments and the grant to the separate title file, rewrite the companion-paper note in the third person, strip PDF metadata, and confirm the abstract is italicized with JEL codes beneath it. Now the main file is clean for Editorial Manager.
