apsr-submission
Use when running the final pre-submission preflight for the American Political Science Review (APSR) via Editorial Manager — track selection, double-anonymous preparation, word/abstract caps, APSA-style formatting, ORCID, and declarations. Final checks; it does not draft content.

Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Submission Preflight (apsr-submission) The last check before pressing submit on **Editorial Manager**. APSR is **double-anonymous**, so the single most common avoidable failure is an under-anonymized manuscript. Verify volatile specifics on the official page before relying on them. ## When to trigger - "Submitting tomorrow" — last pass before upload - Unsure which files/metadata Editorial Manager expects - Confirming the chosen track's caps are met and the manuscript is properly anonymized ## Process facts (verify volatile items on the official page) - **Owner / publisher:** American Political Science Association (APSA) / Cambridge University Press. - **Portal:** **Editorial Manager** (`editorialmanager.com/apsr`). - **Review model:** **double-anonymous** — anonymize the manuscript; provide a separate title page. - **Tracks:** Regular Article (< 11,000 words), Research Note (< 7,000 words — see 待核实 on the exact cap), Replications and Reappraisals, Syntheses, Registered Reports. - **Abstract:** **≤ 150 words.** - **Word count:** put it on the **front page**; counts **include tables, figures, and printed footnotes**, **exclude** the reference list and online appendices. - **Style:*

What does the apsr-submission skill do?
Use when running the final pre-submission preflight for the American Political Science Review (APSR) via Editorial Manager — track selection, double-anonymous preparation, word/abstract caps, APSA-style formatting, ORCID, and declarations. Final checks; it does not draft content.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill apsr-submission --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.
