What it does

Jfqa Submission is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when running the final pre-submission preflight for the Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis (JFQA) via Editorial Manager — text-searchable single PDF, 8.5x11 / 1-inch / 12-pt Times New Roman double-spaced formatting, double-anonymous anonymization, the 100-word abstract cap, the $350 fee, prior-rejection disclosure to avoid the one-year ban, and code-sharing exception timing. Final checks; it does not draft content.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k 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, covering PDF. 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

  • 8.5x11 / 1-inch / 12-pt Times New Roman double-spaced formatting
  • Double-anonymous anonymization
  • The 100-word abstract cap
  • Prior-rejection disclosure to avoid the one-year ban

Example prompts

  • “/jfqa-submission”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Rebuild the PDF from the final source on a clean user profile; verify searchability by text-searching a phrase from a table note.
  2. Open the PDF properties and confirm Author/Creator fields carry no names; re-export if they do.
  3. Re-count the abstract one final time — edits during revision quietly push it past 100 words.
  4. Log in to the Editorial Manager JFQA account (it is separate from any Cambridge Core login); enter all co-authors with current…
  5. Paste the cover letter: prior-rejection disclosure if applicable, code-sharing exception request if needed, and a one-line fit statement…
  6. Pay the $350 by credit card; download and archive the submission confirmation and the exact PDF submitted, since the R&R must diff against…

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

Jfqa Submission loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 113 tokens; SKILL.md has 618 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~113
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k

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.

JFQA Submission Preflight (jfqa-submission)

Run this before pressing submit on Editorial Manager (editorialmanager.com/jfqa/). JFQA requires an account separate from a Cambridge Core account.

Process facts (verify on the official page)

  • Published by Cambridge University Press for the University of Washington Foster School of Business.
  • $350 fee (re-verified 2026-06-22, unchanged), credit card only; $275 refunded if the paper is not sent to a reviewer (a desk reject keeps $75). Double-anonymous review; the text-searchable PDF goes blind to reviewer(s). No fixed length limit, but over-long papers are likely desk-rejected.
  • Editor structure (re-verified 2026-09-14): JFQA has no single Editor-in-Chief — seven Managing Editors handle papers by assignment. Current slate: Bessembinder, Duchin, Foucault, Harford, Li, Giannetti, Siegel. Mariassunta Giannetti (Stockholm School of Economics) joined 1 Sep 2026, replacing George Pennacchi who stepped down on that date. Re-verify the live slate before submission.

Preflight checklist

Manuscript & formatting
  • Single text-searchable PDF (no image-only pages, no separate figure files).
  • 8.5 × 11 paper, 1-inch margins, 12-pt Times New Roman, double-spaced body and appendices.
  • Abstract: one paragraph, ≤ 100 words (see jfqa-contribution-framing).
  • Tables/figures embedded, numbered, with self-contained notes (see jfqa-tables-figures).
Anonymization (double-anonymous — required)
  • No author names, affiliations, or acknowledgments in the PDF.
  • Self-citations phrased neutrally; PDF metadata scrubbed of author identity.
Disclosures & resubmission rule
  • If this paper was previously rejected by JFQA and substantially modified, the cover letter explicitly discloses the prior rejection — failing to do so triggers desk rejection and a one-year submission ban for the corresponding author.
  • Confirmed not under review elsewhere.
Code-sharing timing
  • If you need a code-sharing exception (e.g., delayed release for confidential data), it is requested on this initial submission — not later (see jfqa-replication-and-data-policy).

Anti-patterns

  • Image-only PDF; abstract over 100 words; wrong font/margins/spacing; author identity left in text or metadata.
  • Resubmitting a previously rejected paper without disclosing it (one-year ban); requesting a code-sharing exception only after submission.

Submission-day run sheet

  1. Rebuild the PDF from the final source on a clean user profile; verify searchability by text-searching a phrase from a table note.
  2. Open the PDF properties and confirm Author/Creator fields carry no names; re-export if they do.
  3. Re-count the abstract one final time — edits during revision quietly push it past 100 words.
  4. Log in to the Editorial Manager JFQA account (it is separate from any Cambridge Core login); enter all co-authors with current affiliations in the metadata, which stays hidden from reviewers.
  5. Paste the cover letter: prior-rejection disclosure if applicable, code-sharing exception request if needed, and a one-line fit statement naming the subfield.
  6. Pay the $350 by credit card; download and archive the submission confirmation and the exact PDF submitted, since the R&R must diff against it months later.

Specific upload fields and fee mechanics evolve — confirm against the journal's current author guidelines on the day you submit.
