car-review-process
Use when you need to understand how Contemporary Accounting Research (CAR) evaluates a manuscript — the double-anonymous, two-reviewer process, the role of the subject Editor and the EIC who approves all acceptances, generative-AI rules for reviewers, and CAR's formal appeals process. Explains the process; it does not draft the revision response (car-rebuttal).

Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Review Process (car-review-process) ## When to trigger - Before submitting, to calibrate expectations for CAR's process and timeline - A decision letter arrived and you need to read its signals before responding - You are unsure who decides at CAR (reviewers vs. subject Editor vs. EIC) - You are weighing whether to appeal a rejection ## How CAR review works - **Double-anonymous (double-blind) peer review.** The manuscript file is blind (no author-identifying information), with a separate title page. *(The "double-anonymous" label is inferred from CAR's documented blind-manuscript and reviewer-anonymity requirements; 待核实 for the exact CAR phrasing.)* - **Two reviewers.** The Editor normally assigns **two reviewers**, who provide reports and recommendations. - **Who decides.** The assigned **subject Editor** (one of ~24 handling editors) makes the disposition decision; the **Editor-in-Chief (Anup Srivastava) reviews and approves all acceptance decisions.** Deputy EICs (Demers, Edwards, Stolowy) and Consulting Editors support the team. - **Reviewer conduct.** Reviewers must report conflicts of interest and are actively discouraged from trying to identify authors.

What does the car-review-process skill do?
Use when you need to understand how Contemporary Accounting Research (CAR) evaluates a manuscript — the double-anonymous, two-reviewer process, the role of the subject Editor and the EIC who approves all acceptances, generative-AI rules for reviewers, and CAR's formal appeals process. Explains the process; it does not draft the revision response (car-rebuttal).
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill car-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.
