Use when planning or auditing the robustness, sensitivity, and multiple-testing battery for a The Journal of Finance (JF) manuscript. Decides which checks are load-bearing; it does not design the main test.

# Robustness & Multiple Testing (jf-robustness)

## When to trigger

- The main result is in; you must decide which robustness checks to run and where to put them
- A referee will ask "does it survive [alternative measure / subsample / specification]?"
- The finding is one of many you tested and multiple testing is a live concern

## JF norm: decisive in the body, exhaustive in the Internet Appendix

JF favors an accessible body within the **60-page limit**. Put the **3–6 decisive checks** in the main text and move the exhaustive battery to the **Internet Appendix**, which is **bundled at the end of the same PDF** and **does not count toward 60 pages** (see `jf-internet-appendix`). This main-text/IA split is a JF hallmark; do not bury a load-bearing check.

## Multiple testing — a JF-salient concern
