JPAM is an APPAM / Wiley journal with an anonymized-review preflight and a stated right to **desk-reject without review**.

About this skill
What does the jpam-review-process skill do?

Use when anticipating how a Journal of Policy Analysis and Management (JPAM) manuscript will be evaluated — desk screening, double-blind peer review, the article types and which are not peer-reviewed, decision categories, and what JPAM referees reward and punish. Sets expectations; it does not write the paper or the rebuttal.

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill jpam-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.
