agsy-review-process
Use to understand how Agricultural Systems (AgSy) evaluates a manuscript — single-anonymized peer review with a minimum of two reviewers and an editor decision, desk screening for fit and systems content, what reviewers weigh, and the rapid-review track for Perspectives. Sets expectations and shapes the paper to survive review; it does not contact editors.

# Review Process (agsy-review-process) Knowing how AgSy screens and decides lets you pre-empt the failure modes before submitting. AgSy is **single anonymized** (reviewers see the authors), screens for **fit and genuine systems content**, and sends suitable papers to a **minimum of two expert reviewers**; the **editor** makes the decision. Source-map process facts were refreshed from ScienceDirect on 2026-06-20; live-check them before a real upload because review wording and submission links can change. ## When to trigger - Before submitting, to stress-test against desk-rejection and reviewer concerns - Deciding whether a piece fits the **Perspective** (rapid-review) track - Interpreting a decision letter and setting expectations - Understanding what systems reviewers are likely to weigh ## How AgSy review works 1. **Single anonymized.** Reviewers know the authors; authors do not know reviewers. There is no manuscript anonymization step (unlike a double-anonymous journal). 2. **Editor screening / desk decision.** Editors screen for **scope and fit** first — is this a **systems** paper (interactions, hierarchical levels, modelling, trade-offs), and does it have the substantive natur

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill agsy-review-process --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills, a repository with 909 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
