Use when anticipating how a New Media & Society (NM&S) manuscript will be judged — anonymous (double-anonymized) peer review, what interdisciplinary referees weigh, and the decision categories. Sets expectations; it does not write the paper or the response letter.

# Review Process (newms-review-process) NM&S runs a **strictly anonymous** peer review: the reviewer's name is withheld from the author and the author's name from the reviewer (a double-anonymized model). Understanding what an **interdisciplinary** panel weighs — and how high the bar is, given the journal's very large submission volume — helps you preempt the objections before they become a decision. ## When to trigger - Before submission, to stress-test the paper against likely referee objections - After a decision, to read the letter and decide whether to revise (then go to `newms-rebuttal`) - Estimating odds and effort given NM&S's selectivity ## How NM&S review works - **Anonymous (double-anonymized).** Reviewer and author identities are mutually withheld — so the manuscript must be **masked** (no identifying names, affiliations, or self-revealing phrasing); you may cite your own work, just not in a way that names you. Confirm the current masking rules at submission. - **High volume, high selectivity.** NM&S receives a very large number of submissions (on the order of hundreds per month, per the journal's editor call). Desk rejection for fit/scope is common; clearing the fit ga

What does the newms-review-process skill do?
Use when anticipating how a New Media & Society (NM&S) manuscript will be judged — anonymous (double-anonymized) peer review, what interdisciplinary referees weigh, and the decision categories. Sets expectations; it does not write the paper or the response letter.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill newms-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.
