What submitting to the Journal of Finance actually requires: the 60-page rule, the AFA fee structure, why a cover letter is usually a mistake at JF, and the editorial bar Antoinette Schoar's team is screening for.
What submitting to JPE actually requires: the $250/$125 fee structure (non-refundable, unlike JF), the 14-editor U Chicago team led by Esteban Rossi-Hansberg, the referee-credit waiver path, the 431-day median time to acceptance, and the multi-format submission policy.
What submitting to Management Science actually requires: David Simchi-Levi's department-based editorial system, the $79 fee (free for INFORMS members), the 39% desk-rejection rate, the 13.1% overall acceptance, the Fast Track vs Regular distinction, and the 65-day post-review decision commitment.
What submitting to QJE actually requires: the 5-editor Harvard team, the 62% desk-rejection bar, the 250-word abstract rule, why there's no submission fee or hard page cap, and what gets cleared at desk versus held for review.
What submitting to ReStud actually requires: the 45-page hard cap including appendices, the 30-page online-appendix limit, the 150-word abstract, the $200/$120 submission fee, and the multi-managing-editor process that decides ~50% of papers before referees.
