Use to understand how International Organization (IO) evaluates a manuscript — double-blind peer review, expert IR referees, anonymous reviews returned to the author, the decision and revise-and-resubmit process, and IO's distinctive verification of quantitative results and formal proofs before final acceptance. Sets expectations and shapes the paper to survive review; it does not contact editors.

# Review Process (io-review-process) Knowing how IO screens, reviews, and verifies lets you pre-empt the failure modes before submitting. IO is **double-blind**, reviewed by expert international-relations referees, and — distinctively — **verifies your quantitative results and formal-model proofs before final acceptance**. ## When to trigger - Before submitting, to stress-test against the likely IR objections - Interpreting a decision letter and setting expectations - Understanding what happens between conditional and final acceptance (verification) - Planning the revision timeline around the verification step ## How IO review works 1. **Double-blind.** Reviewers do not know the authors and authors do not know reviewers. Anonymize the manuscript and use **third-person self-citation** (see `io-submission`). 2. **Editorial screening.** Editors assess fit first: is the international/cross-border phenomenon a **major cause or effect**, and does the paper offer a **generalizable IR theory**? Papers that are really domestic-politics, or descriptive single-case accounts, are at risk early. 3. **Expert IR review.** Manuscripts go to expert referees (commonly two or more); their **reviews a

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