What it does

Jhr Review Process is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when you need to understand and plan around the Journal of Human Resources (JHR) editorial process — single-anonymous review, the fast desk-reject without outside review, the reconciliation requirement, and the optional review-recycling shortcut. Sets expectations; it does not draft the paper.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering Accounting and bookkeeping and Recruiting and HR. 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 and plan around the Journal of Human Resources (JHR) editorial process — single-anonymous review

Workflow steps

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

  1. Is this empirical microeconomics in a JHR field, or HR-management dressed in
  2. What variation identifies the effect — is the design named (rollout, cutoff,
  3. Is there a magnitude in policy units, or only "significant effects"?
  4. Does the paper acknowledge the closest prior estimates and hint at the
  5. Would a policy audience care if the answer flipped sign?

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

Jhr Review Process loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 79 tokens; SKILL.md has 631 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
~1.3k

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.

Editorial Process (jhr-review-process)

When to trigger

  • Setting expectations on timelines and decision types at JHR
  • Deciding whether to attach a prior journal's reports to speed review
  • Understanding why a paper might be desk-rejected without referees
  • Wanting to pre-empt the reconciliation / sensitivity demands referees apply

How JHR review works (verified 2026-06-01)

  • Single-anonymous (single-blind): "Referees are anonymous, but author names are not kept from reviewers." The process is run by the Editor (Anna Aizer, Brown; Michael Lovenheim, Cornell, from 2026-07-01), coeditors, and associate editors, with volunteer expert reviewers.
  • Fast desk-reject WITHOUT outside review. Papers a handling editor/coeditor judges unlikely to survive review are released quickly without being sent to referees, at the editor's discretion. The $175 fee does not guarantee outside review and is not refunded for out-of-scope (management/personnel) papers — so the desk screen is the first real hurdle.
  • Reconciliation requirement (distinctive): manuscripts are judged partly on whether they reconcile their results with prior published work on the same topic. Authors may be required to run comparative estimation (re-estimate under the prior literature's spec/sample) and present sensitivity tests. Build this in before submitting, not after a referee demands it.
  • Review-recycling shortcut (optional): authors may submit a prior journal's decision letter and referee reports; JHR may use them — and may contact the prior journal's editor or referees — to speed review. Useful when a paper was close at another journal and the reports are constructive.

How to act on it

  • Treat the desk screen as the highest-leverage gate: a legible policy-relevant question, a clearly stated identifying variation, and a one-paragraph reconciliation note give the handling editor a reason to send it out.
  • If a prior submission generated strong-but-fixable reports, consider attaching them — but only if your revision genuinely answers them.
  • Anticipate the reconciliation ask in jhr-data-analysis: have the comparative estimates and sensitivity tests ready.

Checklist

  • Question and identifying variation legible in the first two pages (desk screen)
  • Reconciliation with prior published estimates addressed up front
  • Comparative estimation and sensitivity tests prepared
  • Decision made on whether to attach prior-journal reports
  • Scope confirmed (not HR-management) so the fee is not wasted

Anti-patterns

  • Assuming the fee buys outside review — it does not
  • Ignoring prior published estimates that contradict yours
  • Attaching old referee reports the revision does not actually address
  • Burying the identifying variation past the desk-reading window

Desk-screen simulation

Run the manuscript's first two pages against the questions a JHR handling editor can realistically answer in one sitting:

  1. Is this empirical microeconomics in a JHR field, or HR-management dressed in economics language?
  2. What variation identifies the effect — is the design named (rollout, cutoff, lottery, instrument) by page two?
  3. Is there a magnitude in policy units, or only "significant effects"?
  4. Does the paper acknowledge the closest prior estimates and hint at the bridge?
  5. Would a policy audience care if the answer flipped sign?

Illustrative contrast: "We examine determinants of teacher turnover" reads as desk risk; "A pension-vesting cliff at year five lets us estimate how deferred compensation retains teachers, and our retention effect is half the prior descriptive literature's" survives the same screen. If two or more questions fail, route back to jhr-contribution-framing before paying the fee.

Timeline posture

JHR does not commit to public turnaround statistics, and stated desk-release speed is "quickly" rather than a number — do not promise coauthors a specific month, and confirm against the journal's current author guidelines for any stated processing details. What is controllable: the desk screen is the fastest gate, and review recycling can compress the refereeing stage when prior reports are attached.

What arrives with a decision

  • A synthesizing letter from the handling editor — at JHR this letter, not any single report, defines the revision contract.
  • Referee reports that commonly lead with identification (pre-trends, first stages, cutoff manipulation) and the reconciliation question before exposition.

Output format

【Decision risk】desk-reject likelihood / why
【Reconciliation】prior estimates addressed? [Y/N]
【Sensitivity】comparative/robustness ready? [Y/N]
【Recycling】attach prior reports? [Y/N + reason]
【Next step】jhr-submission or jhr-rebuttal
