Models The Econometrics Journal's review pipeline including one-week editorial screen, three-month decision target, resubmission windows, conformance rejection triggers, and replication checks. Helps plan submissions and assess desk-rejection risk.

Use this to plan around the RES review pipeline. Do not infer the peer-review blinding model; the current official pages reviewed for this pack do not name it.
Prepare a five-item packet for the editor-facing opening:
The RES conformance-rejection rule makes format failures fatal at the screen, not cosmetic. Map each trigger to its governing rule before submitting:
| Trigger | Governing RES rule | Pre-screen fix |
|---|---|---|
| Printed paper over the page norm | Not normally exceeding 20 pages including the printed appendix | Compress via ectj-tables-figures and ectj-writing-style |
| Summary over the word limit | Summary of no more than 150 words | Rewrite around the econometric object plus applied value |
| Proofs parked online | Proofs belong in the main text or printed appendix | Repatriate derivations, rebalance the page budget |
| No empirical application | Application expected even for theory papers | Add a diagnostic application, not an afterthought |
| Wrong template or missing fee | RES/EctJ LaTeX template; flat fee plus VAT | Recompile in template, confirm the fee path on the live page |
Plan backwards from the RES timing statements (dates illustrative; confirm policies against the journal's current author guidelines):
The screen evaluates conformance and leading-case scope; the referee stage evaluates the theory-simulation-application chain. Preparing for the second stage never substitutes for passing the first.
[Stage] pre-screen / under review / R&R / conditional acceptance / accepted
[Screen risk] <scope, format, page, application, fee, or replication>
[Likely editor question] <one sentence>
[Resubmission clock] <deadline or unknown>
[Next move] <specific action>
