jedpsych-review-process
Use when you need to understand how the Journal of Educational Psychology evaluates a manuscript — masked peer review, editorial weighting of educational relevance, theory, design rigor (nesting/power), and transparency, desk-reject patterns, and the role of preregistration and JARS. Use when stress-testing a paper before submission or interpreting a decision letter. Sets expectations and shapes the paper to survive review; it does not contact editors.

# Review Process (jedpsych-review-process) The Journal of Educational Psychology combines selectivity for **educational importance** with rigorous methodological scrutiny. Under **masked review**, both author and reviewer identities are hidden, and editors and expert reviewers weigh not only whether the finding is interesting but whether it is **theoretically grounded**, **rigorously designed for its nested setting**, and **transparent**. Knowing this lets you pre-empt the common rejection reasons. ## When to trigger - Before submitting, to stress-test the manuscript - Deciding whether to preregister and how to present transparency - Interpreting a decision letter and setting expectations ## How review works 1. **Masked review.** Identities of authors and reviewers are masked; keep author identity out of the manuscript, exhibits, and repository links (see `jedpsych-submission`). 2. **Editorial triage.** The editor (and associate/handling editors) assesses scope fit (educational relevance + primary psychological research), theory, design rigor, and contribution; weak-fit or out-of-scope papers (e.g., single-instrument validation, pure evaluation) may be desk-rejected. 3. **Expert ex

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