jme-review-process

Use when you need to understand how the Journal of Monetary Economics (JME) review process actually works — single anonymized (single-blind) review with at least two reviewers, the distinctive "up or out" first-revision rule, the ~50% publication-likelihood threshold for an R&R, suggested referees, and reconsideration.

# Review Process (jme-review-process)

## When to trigger

- You need to set expectations for what happens after submission
- You are unsure what "up or out" means for your revision strategy
- You want to know whether to suggest referees or request exclusions
- A decision arrived and you need to interpret it

## How JME review works

- **Single anonymized (single-blind) review**: reviewers know the author identities; **authors do not know the reviewers.** Plan your framing and self-citation accordingly — there is no point anonymizing the manuscript.
- **At least two reviewers**: suitable submissions are typically sent to a **minimum of two reviewers.**
- **Editors**: the journal is led by two **co-Editors-in-Chief**, **S. Borağan Aruoba (University of Maryland)** and **Eric Swanson (University of California, Irvine)** (Aruoba appointed as one of the two Editors-in-Chief effective January 1, 2022); neither outranks the other.
