jmf-review-process
Use to understand how the Journal of Marriage and Family (JMF) evaluates a manuscript — double-blind anonymous peer review, editor and reviewer roles (typically three reviewers, ~21-day review window), the revise-and-resubmit pathway, and what triggers desk handling. Sets expectations and shapes the paper to survive review; it does not contact editors.

# Review Process (jmf-review-process) Knowing how JMF screens and decides lets you pre-empt failure modes before submitting. JMF is **double-blind**: reviewers do not know who you are and you do not know them, so anonymization is not optional. Use the current NCFR pages for live editor roster, portal, and timeline checks. ## When to trigger - Before submitting, to stress-test against likely reviewer objections - Interpreting a decision letter and setting expectations - Understanding what reviewers and editors are instructed to weigh - Deciding whether the work is ready or needs another round before submission ## How JMF review works 1. **Double-blind anonymous.** The manuscript must omit author names, affiliations, contact information, and acknowledgements, and neutralize self-citations to work under review/forthcoming (see `jmf-submission`). 2. **Editorial handling.** An editor (or designate) screens the manuscript and, if it proceeds, identifies reviewers — typically **three** specialists in the topic or method, who are given about **21 days** to complete a review (figures per NCFR editorial-process pages; confirm current). 3. **What reviewers weigh.** Family-science contribution

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