# IMFER Workflow Router (imfer-workflow)

## Overview

This is the router. It tells you **which imfer-* skill to use at the current stage** of a manuscript aimed at *IMF Economic Review* (IMFER) — the **International Monetary Fund's flagship scholarly journal**, published by **Palgrave Macmillan / Springer Nature** for the IMF, and the successor to *IMF Staff Papers*. IMFER's center of gravity is **international macroeconomics and finance with strong policy relevance**: exchange rates and capital flows, global imbalances, financial crises and contagion, sovereign debt, monetary and fiscal policy in open economies, IMF-program-relevant questions, and international spillovers. A distinctive pipeline is the **Jacques Polak Annual Research Conference (ARC)**, whose papers often appear as IMFER special issues.

Operational tells you are at IMFER and not a sibling or generic field journal: the audience is **part academic, part policy/institutional** — a referee reads as both a frontier researcher and someone who could brief an IMF mission; review is **double-blind** (anonymize the main file); house style is the **Chicago Manual of Style** with American spelling; the abstract is italicized and **JEL codes** are required. Editor-in-chief as of 2026: **Jesús Fernández-Villaverde** (检索于 2026-06；以官网为准). Re-verify volatile specifics on the Springer Nature IMFER pages.

## When to trigger

- The user asks "what should I do next?" on an IMFER-bound paper
- A draft needs its current bottleneck diagnosed (fit, design, theory, evidence, exhibits, style, submission)
- Work is ping-ponging between identification, the model, robustness, and the policy framing
- An IMFER decision letter arrived and the user must switch into revision mode
