What it does

Jbf Review Process is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when you need to understand the Journal of Banking & Finance (JBF) editorial pipeline — the desk screen, double-anonymized refereeing, the role of the USD 350 fee in reviewer rewards, and what to expect between submission and decision. Sets expectations; pair with jbf-rebuttal once you receive an R&R.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

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

  • You need to understand the Journal of Banking & Finance (JBF) editorial pipeline — the desk screen
  • Double-anonymized refereeing
  • The role of the USD 350 fee in reviewer rewards
  • What to expect between submission and decision

Example prompts

  • “/jbf-review-process”

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

Jbf Review Process loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 81 tokens; SKILL.md has 545 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~81
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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.

Review Process (jbf-review-process)

When to trigger

  • Before submitting, to understand how JBF handles a manuscript
  • After submission, to interpret status changes in Editorial Manager
  • When deciding how to engage with the fee, the desk screen, and reviewers

How JBF review works (verified 2026-06-20)

  • Publisher / platform. Elsevier; the editorial pipeline runs in Editorial Manager, reached from the journal homepage on ScienceDirect.
  • Managing Editor. Christa Bouwman (Texas A&M University) is listed by ScienceDirect as Managing Editor. Current Co-Editors are Edith Hotchkiss and Xiaoyan Zhang.
  • The fee funds review quality. The USD 350 non-refundable submission fee is explicitly used to fund academic activities and reviewer rewards for timely, high-quality reports. This is unusual among top finance journals and signals an emphasis on review turnaround.
  • Desk screen first. Editors can desk-reject without sending the paper to referees — even after the fee is paid. A clean, on-scope, well-anonymized submission is what clears this first screen. Free SSRN posting becomes available once the paper passes this initial desk review.
  • Double-anonymized refereeing. Identities of both authors and reviewers are concealed. Referees assess scope fit (banking / intermediation / capital markets / corporate finance / regulation), contribution, identification, data, and robustness.
  • Decisions. Expect the standard ladder: reject, major/minor revision (R&R), or accept. Treat any positive decision short of accept as an R&R and route to jbf-rebuttal.

What clears the desk screen

  • In scope for a bank/intermediation-focused finance journal (see jbf-topic-selection)
  • A defensible identification/empirical design (see jbf-identification-strategy)
  • Fully anonymized manuscript + separate title page
  • Fee paid or waiver code entered; declarations complete

Reading Editorial Manager statuses

  • "With Editor" for an extended period usually means the desk screen or referee recruitment, not a hidden verdict; JBF recruits referees by banking/markets subfield, which can take longer for niche topics. Do not infer outcomes from status text.
  • "Under Review" — referees secured. The reviewer-reward design favors timely reports, but do not assume a specific turnaround; confirm any timing expectation against the journal's current author guidelines.
  • A status reverting (e.g., back to "With Editor") commonly reflects a referee dropping out, not a decision being drafted.
  • Polite status queries after a long silence go through Editorial Manager — never to a guessed editor name.

Desk-screen failure patterns at JBF

PatternWhy it gets desked
Generic asset-pricing or macro paper with no intermediation contentscope mismatch with a bank/markets/regulation journal
Causal regulation claim with no identification designreferees would reject; the editor saves everyone the round
Identity leakage (acknowledgements, metadata, "our earlier JBF paper")breaks double anonymization; administrative bounce
Survey-length introduction with no stated contributionsignals the contribution is not yet formed

What JBF referee reports tend to cover

Reports at this venue typically work through: scope fit; the contribution delta against the intermediation literature; identification (endogenous regulation, omitted bank risk, clustering choices); data construction (merger handling, vintages, consolidation filters); robustness breadth; and whether policy implications stay inside the identified margin. Pre-empt each in the manuscript and the desk-to-decision path shortens.

Anti-patterns

  • Treating the fee as a guarantee of full review — it is not; desk rejection still happens
  • Submitting a paper out of JBF's bank/finance scope and hoping referees stretch it
  • Naming a specific "Editor-in-Chief" in correspondence on the basis of unverified secondary sources
  • Breaking anonymity and forcing an administrative bounce-back before review

Output format

【Scope】fits banking/intermediation/markets/regulation? [Y/N]
【Desk readiness】anonymized + declarations + fee/waiver? [Y/N]
【Status read】desk screen → referees → decision
【Next step】on R&R → jbf-rebuttal
