misq-review-process
Use to understand how MIS Quarterly's editorial process works and to read a decision letter — the double-anonymous model, the Senior-Editor/Associate-Editor routing where the SE owns the decision, what a major/minor revision versus reject signals, and what to expect across one or more revision rounds. Sets expectations and interprets decisions; the response itself is drafted with misq-rebuttal.

Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Review Process (misq-review-process) ## When to trigger - You want to set expectations before or just after submitting to MISQ - A decision letter arrived and you need to read it correctly before reacting - You are unsure who owns the decision and how the editors and reviewers relate - You need to gauge whether a decision is encouraging or terminal ## How MISQ review is structured MISQ uses **double-anonymous (double-blind) peer review**: authors and reviewers do not know each other's identities. Author and reviewer identities are known to the **Editor-in-Chief, the Senior Editor, the Associate Editor, and editorial staff**, but never to reviewers. The manuscript itself must contain no identifying information. The routing is two-tier and distinctive: 1. A **Senior Editor (SE)** and an **Associate Editor (AE)** conduct the initial review; 2. if it advances, the paper goes to **external reviewers**; 3. the **Senior Editor owns the decision**, informed by the AE's and reviewers' input. This SE-owns-the-decision structure (with the EIC overseeing) differs from INFORMS-style departmental area-editor desks; whether MISQ runs a formal area-editor desk structure is 待核实.

What does the misq-review-process skill do?
Use to understand how MIS Quarterly's editorial process works and to read a decision letter — the double-anonymous model, the Senior-Editor/Associate-Editor routing where the SE owns the decision, what a major/minor revision versus reject signals, and what to expect across one or more revision rounds.

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