qe-review-process

separate

Use to understand and plan around the Quantitative Economics (QE) editorial timeline — desk-reject risk, external refereeing, ~4-5 month target turnaround, 12-month revise windows, the Econometrica-transfer route, and the pre-acceptance ES Data Editor check. Sets expectations; it does not draft the paper.

When to use

• calibrate expectations on timeline and desk-reject risk
• decide whether to use the Econometrica-transfer option
• understand who decides and what gates lie between submission and acceptance
• check if target turnaround has elapsed during silence

When not to use

• drafting the paper
