ecj-referee-strategy

separate

Use when running a pre-submission pre-mortem on a The Economic Journal (EJ) manuscript to anticipate the broad-interest, identification, and mechanism objections a demanding general-interest referee will raise. Builds the threat list and pre-empts it; it does not write the R&R response (see ecj-rebuttal).

When to use

• pre-submission pre-mortem on an EJ manuscript
• anticipate broad-interest objections
• anticipate identification objections
• anticipate mechanism objections
• harden the paper before submitting
• frame the contribution to survive a demanding referee
• identify the first-order objection that would sink the paper

When not to use

• writing the R&R response
