msom-review-process
Use to understand how Manufacturing & Service Operations Management (M&SOM) review and decisions work — the author-routed six-department structure, the Department Editor / Associate Editor / referee chain, double-anonymous review, special tracks (OM Forum, Practice Platform, OM Grand Challenges), and how to read a decision letter — before or after submitting.

What does the msom-review-process skill do?
Use to understand how Manufacturing & Service Operations Management (M&SOM) review and decisions work — the author-routed six-department structure, the Department Editor / Associate Editor / referee chain, double-anonymous review, special tracks (OM Forum, Practice Platform, OM Grand Challenges), and how to read a decision letter — before or after submitting.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill msom-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.
