Use when running the final pre-submission preflight for a The Economic Journal (EJ) manuscript via Editorial Express — single PDF format, author-date references, single-blind review, JEL codes and keywords, full-length vs. short-paper choice, submission-fee awareness, funding disclosure, and the RES/EJ data-and-code policy. Final mechanical gate; it does not improve the economic argument.

# Submission Preflight (ecj-submission)

## When to trigger

- "Submitting tomorrow" — the last mechanical check before pressing submit
- Unsure what the Editorial Express portal requires as files and metadata
- Confirming format, references, review model, and data policy are EJ-correct
- Deciding finally between the full-length and short-paper routes

## Process facts (verified 2026-06-20; re-confirm on the official OUP/RES pages)

- EJ (founded **1891**, the **Royal Economic Society's** flagship, published by **Oxford University Press**; editor-in-chief **Francesco Lippi**) is submitted through the **Editorial Express** portal (editorialexpress.com), **not** ScholarOne. The submission must be a **single PDF** including appendices (but not the cover letter or past reports).
- **Review model: single-blind** — referee identities are kept from authors as far as possible, but **authors are not anonymized**, so do *not* strip your identity from the manuscript. This differs from a double-blind journal.
- **Short-paper option:** EJ encourages short papers in the **AER:Insights style — roughly <6,000 words and ~5 exhibits**; full-length articles may be longer. Choose the route deliberately.
