crim-review-process
Use to understand how Criminology (ASC / Wiley) evaluates a manuscript — blinded/anonymized peer review, editorial screening, the typical reject / major-revision / minor-revision / accept outcomes, and what expert reviewers weigh in this interdisciplinary, theory-forward field. Sets expectations and shapes the paper to survive review; it does not contact editors.

# Review Process (crim-review-process) Knowing how *Criminology* screens and decides lets you pre-empt failure modes before submitting. The journal uses **double-anonymized** review (anonymized main document + separate title page) and is handled by the ASC/Wiley editorial team for an interdisciplinary, theory-forward field. As of 2026-06-22, **Chris Sullivan is Interim Editor** (leadership changed Sept 12, 2025; permanent 2027-2031 editor search ongoing) — re-check the live ASC/Wiley masthead before submission, since the interim status is in flux. ## When to trigger - Before submitting, to stress-test against likely rejection grounds - Interpreting a decision letter and setting expectations - Understanding what expert reviewers in criminology weigh - Deciding whether to revise-and-resubmit or send elsewhere ## How Criminology review works 1. **Double-anonymized review.** Reviewers assess an **anonymized main document**; a **separate title page** carries author identities. Anonymize accordingly (see `crim-submission`). 2. **Editorial screening first.** Editors screen for fit and quality before sending out for review.

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill crim-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.
