JHRchecklist.md

Make following formatting changes in LaTeX before importing the resulting PDF into Word

• Sections and subsections numbered like "II.A.1" (add following to end of preamble)
  • \renewcommand{\thesection}{\Roman{section}}
  • \renewcommand{\thesubsection}{\thesection.\Alph{subsection}}
  • \renewcommand{\thesubsubsection}{\thesubsection.\arabic{subsubsection}}
• roman numeraled endnotes instead of footnotes (add following to preamble)
  • \usepackage{endnotes}
  • \let\footnote=\endnote
  • \renewcommand{\theendnote}{\roman{endnote}}
  • put "\theendnotes" just before the online appendix
• use Times New Roman 12 point font (\usepackage{mathptmx})
• use the jhr.bst BibTeX style file as your bibliography style (i.e. put this .bst file in your TeX path and then issue \bibliographystyle{jhr} directly before \bibliography{my-bib-file})
• put figure captions below figures
• change textual references: "Appendix A" --> "Online Appendix A" (and same for Tables and Figures)
• take care of frontmatter formatting according to journal guidelines
  • Author bios
  • Data Availability Statement (see here for complete details)
  • Disclosure Statement
• Add a cite to your data/replication files in the body of the manuscript: include this as an item in the list of references.

Make the following formatting changes in Word after importing your compiled PDF (e.g. using Adobe Acrobat)

• show formatting symbols (makes it easier to figure out what's going on in problematic sections of the document)
• re-type equations (I recommend following this advice for converting equations)
• fix hyphenation breaks
• manually insert endnotes
• check tables and figures
• change subfigure panel titles: “(a)” —> “Panel A” etc.
