Editorial code of conductEditors and Coeditors treat all reports and cover letters confidentially. The referee names and cover letters are never made public. In particular, they are not shared with authors, other referees, or Associate Editors. If an Editor or Coeditor has a conflict of interest with an author, they cannot handle the paper and do not have access to either the referee reports or the names of the referees. Such a conflict of interest exists with the following categories of people:
The Editor and Coeditors cannot submit papers for publication in Theoretical Economics. Sometimes the Coeditor may have a paper under review at the journal when they are appointed. In these cases, they cannot see the names of the referees or their correspondence with the handling Coeditor. Referee reports and cover letters remain in the editorial system and future Coeditors may access them for 6 years; Editors may access them for 10 years. Editors and Coeditors cannot see past submissions or the associated records (e.g. referee assignments) if there is a conflict of interest (e.g. same institution, recent coauthor, recent student) or if they are an author. For papers transferred from Econometrica, the referee name and cover letter are transferred only with the permission of the referee. Rules for refereesThe rules on conflict of interest for referees are the same as for editors. These are detailed here. |
