The Craft of Publishing in Economics brings together three leading journal editors for a candid conversation about what it takes to publish in top journals. Editors will share practical insights on what distinguishes promising papers from those that struggle, how to position your contribution effectively, common mistakes that weaken submissions, and how to respond strategically to referee reports. The session will conclude with a Q&A, giving participants the opportunity to ask direct questions about publishing strategy, framing, timing, and navigating the review process.

Whether you are preparing your first submission or are experienced in publishing, this workshop offers an inside look at how editorial decisions are made and how you can strengthen your research for competitive review.
