# Review Process (joe-review-process)

## When to trigger

- You want to know how JoE evaluates a methodological submission, end to end
- You are choosing among the Regular / Annals / Themed Issue tracks
- You are anticipating referee objections before submitting or after a revision request
- You are unsure who decides (editors, Co-Editors, Guest Associate Editors)

## How JoE review works

- **Single-anonymized review:** referees know the authors' identities; authors do **not** know the referees.
- **Editor screening first:** editors screen submissions; suitable papers are sent to a **minimum of two independent expert referees**, and the editors make the **final decision**. Unsuitable or out-of-scope papers are desk-screened out.
- **Co-Editors-in-Chief:** Michael Jansson (UC Berkeley) and Aureo de Paula (UCL), supported by a set of Co-Editors. Check the live board page for the complete current roster before naming a handling editor.
