devpsych-submission
Use when running the final pre-submission preflight for Developmental Psychology (APA) via Editorial Manager — length-tier compliance, the abstract and Public Significance Statement, APA 7th + JARS reporting, masked-review anonymization, the data-availability statement, and preregistration/data DOIs. 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 (devpsych-submission) The last check before submitting through **Editorial Manager** (`editorialmanager.com/dvl`). Three things sink Developmental Psychology submissions most often: the **developmental claim not being credible** (age vs. cohort, invariance, attrition), **JARS/length-tier non-compliance**, and **weak transparency**. Verify volatile specifics (length numbers, abstract ceiling, policy wording, editor) on the official page first. ## When to trigger - "Submitting tomorrow" — last pass before upload - Unsure what the length tier, abstract, and transparency requirements demand - Confirming the Public Significance Statement, anonymization, and deposits are in order ## Process facts (verify volatile items on the official page) - **Publisher:** American Psychological Association (APA). **ISSN:** 0012-1649 (print); 1939-0599 (online). - **Editor:** Koraly Pérez-Edgar (Penn State; editorship since 2023-01-01) *(web-verified 2026-06-22; re-verify before submission)*. - **Portal:** **Editorial Manager**, `editorialmanager.com/dvl`. - **Review:** **masked peer review** available on request — keep author identity out of the manuscript and out of shared links

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.
