What it does

Jfi Review Process is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when navigating the Journal of Financial Intermediation (JFI) editorial process — the active desk-rejection policy, single-anonymized (single-blind) review with at least one expert referee when sent out, the tightly limited appeal path, and the option to choose the Managing Editor. It sets expectations; it does not draft content.

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

  • Navigating the Journal of Financial Intermediation (JFI) editorial process — the active desk-rejection policy
  • Single-anonymized (single-blind) review with at least one expert referee when sent out
  • The tightly limited appeal path
  • The option to choose the Managing Editor

Example prompts

  • “/jfi-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

Jfi Review Process loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 89 tokens; SKILL.md has 588 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~89
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.

description
Use when navigating the Journal of Financial Intermediation (JFI) editorial process — the active desk-rejection policy, single-anonymized (single-blind) review with at least one expert referee when sent out, the tightly limited appeal path, and the option to choose the Managing Editor. It sets expectations; it does not draft content.

Review Process (jfi-review-process)

When to trigger

  • Before submission, to calibrate expectations on timing, odds, and what "single-blind" implies
  • After a decision, to understand what is (and is not) negotiable
  • Deciding whether to request a specific Managing Editor

Process facts (verified 2026-06-22; re-confirm on the official Guide for Authors)

  • Active desk-rejection. The process is explicitly designed so a large share of submissions are rejected without full review. A clean, well-targeted submission is part of clearing this screen.
  • Editor-first triage. Papers are first assessed by the editor for suitability; suitable papers are typically sent to at least one independent expert reviewer — fewer than the two common at many finance journals.
  • Single-anonymized (single-blind) review. Referees see the authors' identities; authors do not see referee identities. You do not need to anonymize the manuscript body.
  • Narrow appeal path. Elsevier permits an appeal route, but only one appeal per submission is considered and the appeal decision is final. Plan as if the desk and referee rounds must win up front.
  • Choose your Managing Editor. Authors may request the Managing Editor in charge of their submission (accommodated within constraints); papers are reviewed largely by editorial-board-level experts.
  • Current official board lists Murillo Campello as Managing Editor and Elena Loutskina / Joao Santos as Co-Editors (verified 2026-06-22). Note that scholars such as Anjan Thakor or Paolo Fulghieri may appear as guest/special-issue editors — that is not the standing masthead. Re-confirm the live board before requesting an editor by name.

How to use these facts

  • Pass the desk screen first. Lead with the intermediation mechanism and contribution in the abstract and introduction; do not bury them (see jfi-contribution-framing).
  • Plan for one strong referee. A single expert can carry the decision — pre-empt the most likely objection from a banking specialist (see jfi-rebuttal).
  • Treat appeal as exceptional. Win up front with a clean submission and tight cover letter.
  • Pick the editor deliberately if your topic maps to a board member's expertise — but verify current editors first.

Desk-reject patterns at this journal

PatternWhy JFI's screen catches it
Correlational bank-panel paper with no designEmpirics here must discipline a mechanism, not document an association
Banks as a setting, not the subjectIntermediation must be load-bearing (see jfi-topic-selection)
Pure asset pricing or corporate financeOutside the journal's home ground, however polished
Policy commentary without an economic model or designThe journal publishes research, not assessment notes
Mechanism buried past page 3Triage reads the abstract and introduction only

Calibration: the shape of papers that survive (hedged)

As reading-based calibration, not stated policy: surviving empirical papers pair a tight introduction with an identification section that confronts demand-side confounds head-on, a main table plus a dynamics figure, and robustness in an appendix; theory papers carry propositions in the text, proofs in an appendix, and often a numerical illustration of the mechanism. Timelines and acceptance shares are not published in a form this skill will quote — confirm against the journal's current author guidelines and recent issues rather than secondhand statistics. A practical proxy: skim the latest two issues and note how quickly each paper states its intermediation mechanism; that is the de facto screen you must match. Note also which sub-literatures the current issues carry — a venue actively publishing fintech and shadow-banking work signals appetite beyond traditional bank-balance-sheet papers.

Anti-patterns

  • Anonymizing the body as if double-blind (unnecessary; this is single-blind)
  • Assuming a two-referee process and being surprised by a single decisive report
  • Planning around appeal rather than fixing desk-screen fit and referee-facing evidence
  • Naming a requested editor from outdated secondary sources without re-checking ScienceDirect

Output format

【Desk-screen risk】<what could trip the screen + fix>
【Referee plan】likely-one-expert objection + pre-empt
【Editor choice】request Murillo Campello / Elena Loutskina / Joao Santos by fit, or default
【Decision posture】appeal exceptional; win up front
