JDE Review Process Navigator
Guides researchers through submission tracks, editorial policies, and review requirements for the Journal of Development Economics.
The JDE Review Process Navigator helps development economics researchers select the optimal submission pathway and navigate the editorial pipeline at the Journal of Development Economics (JDE). It breaks down criteria and constraints across all three submission tracks—standard full-length manuscripts, AER: Insights-style short papers, and pre-results review (Registered Reports). With guidance on single-anonymized review norms, submission limits (maximum three papers per 12-month window), editorial fees, and realistic review timelines, this skill helps academic authors de-risk their submission strategy before entering Editorial Manager.
