# Review Process (jpube-review-process)

## When to trigger

- You want to know what happens after you press submit at JPubE
- You are deciding whether to post an SSRN preprint at submission
- You need to plan timelines and expectations around the review model
- A decision arrived and you are weighing whether to appeal

## How JPubE review works (verified facts)

- **Single anonymized review.** Reviewers' identities are hidden from authors, but **authors' identities are known to reviewers and editors**. This is *not* double-anonymized — do not strip your name from the manuscript expecting blind review; write knowing referees see who you are. (Contrast: some venues use double-anonymized review.)
- **Minimum of two reviewers.** Suitable submissions are typically sent to at least two reviewers; expect substantive, specialist public-finance reports.
- **Editorial leadership.** The current ScienceDirect masthead lists **Editors Nathaniel Hendren (MIT)** and **Wojciech Kopczuk (Columbia)**, supported by co-editors and advisory editors. A handling editor manages your manuscript and synthesizes the reports into the decision.
