# Submission Preflight (demog-submission) The last check before pressing submit on **ScholarOne Manuscripts** (Demography moved off Editorial Manager in 2024). Demography is **double-blind**, so the most common avoidable failure is a manuscript with self-identifying references. Verify volatile specifics on the official page before relying on them. ## When to trigger - "Submitting tomorrow" — last pass before upload - Unsure which files/metadata ScholarOne expects - Confirming the chosen type's limits are met and the manuscript avoids self-identifying references ## Process facts (verify volatile items on the official page) - **Owner / publisher:** Population Association of America (PAA) / Duke University Press. - **Portal:** **ScholarOne Manuscripts** (since May 31, 2024 — confirm the current submission link). - **Review model:** **double-blind** — avoid self-identifying references; do not name yourself as author. - **Article types:** Research Article (<= 8,000 words main text), Research Note (<= 4,000), Commentary (<= 2,000). Main-text counts exclude abstract, keywords, footnotes, acknowledgments. - **Front matter:** abstract **<= 200 words**; **up to 5 keywords/phrases**; **3-5 hi

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