More on Writing Referee Reports

Alternative title for this post: How to write a paper by backwards induction!

I found this handy dandy template for writing a referee report. Thank you, Plamen Nikolov. Yes, have a look at it before sitting down to write a referee report. But I thought that it is even more useful as a checklist you should go through before sending your paper out to a journal. If you can't answer the questions in the template very quickly and relatively easy, your paper probably isn't yet ready to be sent to reviewers.

Also, (re-)read the Journal of Economics Perspectives piece on how to write an effective referee report.
