restat-submission

Use when running the final pre-submission preflight for The Review of Economics and Statistics (REStat) via Editorial Express — format rules, abstract limit, online-appendix cap, article categories, submission fee, the proprietary-data fee hold, and house style. Final checks; it does not draft content.

# Submission Preflight (restat-submission)

## When to trigger

- "Submitting tomorrow" — last check before pressing submit on Editorial Express
- Unsure which files, fees, and declarations the REStat submission expects
- Confirming format (PDF, 12pt, double-spaced) and house style are REStat-compliant
- Deciding Article vs Short Paper, and whether proprietary data affects the fee timing

## Process facts (refreshed 2026-06-20; live-check volatile items on MIT Press)

- REStat is published by **MIT Press**, edited at the **Harvard Kennedy School**; submission is via **Editorial Express** (`editorialexpress.com/.../e-submit...?dbase=restat`). Editors as of 2026: Will Dobbie (Harvard) and Raymond Fisman (Boston U), co-chairs.
- **Submission fee:** nonrefundable **US$125** per new submission, paid online by credit card at submission. **Proprietary-data papers: do NOT pay the fee until the editorial office confirms** the data comply with the Data and Code Availability Policy.
- **Article categories:** full-length **Articles**, **Notes**, and (since Dec 2019) **Short Papers** — Short Papers strictly **≤6000 words and ≤5 exhibits**; live-check category text before upload.
