Use when you need to understand how the European Sociological Review (ESR) evaluates a manuscript — double-blind peer review, what comparative quantitative reviewers weigh, decision categories, and the ethics rules (anonymity, no simultaneous submission). Sets expectations and shapes the paper to survive review; it does not contact editors.

# Review Process (eursr-review-process) Knowing how ESR reviews helps you pre-empt the failure modes before submitting. ESR uses **double-blind** review and draws reviewers from the comparative quantitative-sociology community, so a paper must read credibly to experts who scrutinize the comparative/longitudinal design and the modeling. ## When to trigger - Before submitting, to stress-test the manuscript against likely reviewer objections - Interpreting a decision letter and setting expectations - Understanding why a portable mechanism *and* a defensible quantitative design both matter ## How ESR review works 1. **Double-blind review.** Neither authors nor reviewers are identified; the manuscript must be **completely anonymous** (no author names, identifying acknowledgments, or identifying self-citation wording). Prepare accordingly (see `eursr-submission`). 2. **Editorial screening.** Editors assess fit, comparative/theoretical contribution, and the length-vs-contribution balance; weak-fit, single-country-descriptive, or out-of-scope papers may be declined without full external review. Make the comparative mechanism obvious early. 3. **External review.** Expert reviewers assess th

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