ectheory-submission — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited ectheory-submission (Agent Skill) and scored it 100/100 (green). The audit ran 55 deterministic rules across Security, Supply Chain, Maintenance, Transparency, and Community; it found 0 high-severity and 0 lower-severity findings. The full rule-by-rule trace and per-finding evidence are below. Free, methodology-open.

prior reviews from another journal); otherwise it is optional.
The fastest way to fail an ET submission is a format mismatch the editorial office catches before review — each spec maps to its failure mode on this single-PDF, single-anonymous, APA-styled venue.
| Spec | If wrong | Fix before pressing submit |
|---|---|---|
| File bundle | Separate figure files rejected | Merge into one embedded-font PDF (proofs, tables, figures) |
| Anonymization | Over-stripped identity | Restore identity — review is single-anonymous, not double-blind |
| Reference style | Numeric/Chicago bounced | Convert to APA author-date, alphabetized list |
| Length | Article over the page ceiling | Move overflow proofs to the labeled Supplement file |
| Abstract / running head | Over-length field | Trim abstract to ≤200 words, running head to ≤40 characters |
A nonstationary-estimator paper assembles into a single embedded-font PDF and gets under the page ceiling by moving the auxiliary lemma's proof and extra tables into a labeled Supplement reusing the paper's numbering. A cover letter is included only because prior reviews from another journal are shared; no APC question stalls it, since none is stated (待核实). Submission goes through ScholarOne / Manuscript Central, in effect since 28 January 2026 replacing Editorial Express. The fixes: incorrect anonymization → restore identity, as ET is single-anonymous; over the ceiling → relocate overflow to the Supplement. Confirm the ScholarOne URL and any fee policy against the live instructions.
