ACCURACY NOTE: fees, limits, and editor lists change. Verify current specifics on afajof.org/submissions before submitting. The numbers below were taken from the AFA submission page (accessed 2026-05-30); the JF Submission Guidelines PDF is Rev. March 12, 2024.
jf-referee-strategy)Illustrative. A team submits tomorrow and the preflight surfaces three issues. The body is 63 pages — over the limit — so two robustness tables move to the Internet Appendix, bringing it to 57 pp. All authors reside in a high-income country and one is an AFA member, so the fee is the high-income member tier (confirm the figure on the AFA page). They drafted a generic cover letter — which JF says to skip; they delete it, having nothing specific to flag. With the IA bundled and code staged for the Data Editor, the submission is clean.
| Trap caught at preflight | The fix before submitting |
|---|---|
| Body over 60 pp | Move non-decisive exhibits to the Internet Appendix |
| IA uploaded as a separate file | Re-bundle in the same PDF, titled "Internet Appendix" |
| Stale fee tier quoted | Re-check the current tier on the AFA submission page |
