JME Writing Style Guide
Formats and polishes macroeconomics manuscripts according to the Journal of Monetary Economics (JME) submission standards and house style.
The JME Writing Style skill helps macroeconomics researchers format and polish their manuscripts to meet the strict editorial requirements of the Journal of Monetary Economics. It automatically audits and refines manuscript elements against JME house rules, enforcing the 100-word abstract constraint (prohibiting opener phrases like 'This paper' or 'We'), author-date citation formatting with unabbreviated journal names, double-spaced 12-point layout with line numbers, footnote placement, JEL codes, and keyword limits. Tailored specifically for macroeconomists and central bankers, it streamlines introductions to highlight identified shocks, mechanisms, and policy lessons while ensuring manuscripts respect the 40-page and 10-exhibit caps.
