"name": "qe-submission",
"description": "Use when running the final pre-submission preflight for Quantitative Economics (QE) via the Econometric Society online portal — membership gate, submission fee, PDF format rules, the Econometrica-transfer option, public-posting requirement, and the no-asterisks house style. Final checks; it does not draft content."

Submission Preflight (qe-submission)
When to trigger
- "Submitting tomorrow" — last check before pressing submit on the ES portal
- Unsure which files and fees the ES online submission expects
- Confirming the format rules (PDF, 12pt, spacing, line limit) and house style are QE-compliant
- Deciding whether to use the Econometrica-transfer route
Process facts (source map refreshed 2026-06-20; re-confirm on the official ES pages)
- QE is the Econometric Society's empirically/computationally oriented general-interest journal; content is hosted on Wiley Online Library (Online ISSN 1759-7331). Submission is through the ES Online Submission portal (ES e-publications), as PDF; the form currently allows two attachments (combine extras into one
.zip). - Membership gate: at least one author must be a current Econometric Society member to submit (join/renew via the ES register page).
- Submission fee: US$100 regular member / US$50 student member, paid by credit card at submission. Waived for Econometrica transfers and invited resubmissions (membership still required). Residents of World Bank low-income countries are exempt. Papers rejected without review are not refunded.
- Econometrica-transfer option: a paper previously rejected by Econometrica may be submitted to QE with the option to transfer the coeditor's decision letter, referee reports, and cover letters. QE's process is fully independent; the transfer waives the submission fee (other publication fees still apply); a transferred paper needs a cover letter explaining how it differs and how referee comments were addressed.
- Public posting: authors must post the manuscript on a publicly available website (institutional repository or personal site) before and during review (editor exceptions possible) — review is effectively non-anonymous on the author side.
Preflight checklist
Format & style
- One PDF; font ≥12 point; 1.5 or double spacing throughout (including references and appendices)
- Margins ≥1.25 inches on all sides; ≤32 lines per page; pages numbered
- Figures and tables placed in-text on the relevant page (not collected at the end)
- References at the very end, after any appendices
- Abstract ≤150 words; title page has keywords and complete affiliations (JEL optional)
- Supplemental Appendix (if any) ≤25 pages, and not used for proofs of key results — the main paper is self-contained
- No asterisks or boldface for statistical significance; report SEs and confidence/coverage sets
- No certified random author ordering (circled-r); author contributions may go in a footnote
- LaTeX template recommended (not required); QE house style is applied by the copyeditor at acceptance — the submitted PDF need not pre-conform
Files & fees for the ES portal
- Main manuscript PDF (exhibits embedded in-text); extra files combined into one
.zip - Membership confirmed for ≥1 author; submission fee ready (or transfer route chosen)
- Manuscript posted to a public website (link ready)
- Experimental papers: instructions/survey transcripts included; own-data studies pre-registered (effective Jan 1, 2026)
Declarations
- Disclosure statement (ES policy; US$10,000 interested-party threshold; funding sources)
- Multi-author responsibility statement prepared (required for accepted papers, effective Jan 2026)
- Confirmed the paper is not under review elsewhere; AI is not listed as an author
Anti-patterns
- Submitting without an ES member among the authors (hard gate)
- Asterisks/boldface for significance, or figures/tables dumped at the end
- Forgetting to post the manuscript publicly during review
- Treating the post-proof publication fee as if it were a submission-time APC
- Using the Econometrica-transfer route without a cover letter addressing prior reports
