PMLA is **anonymous (blind)**, so the most common avoidable failure is a self-identifying manuscript — and the most common eligibility failure is a non-member author. Verify volatile specifics on the official page before relying on them. ## When to trigger - "Submitting tomorrow" — last pass before upload - Unsure which files/metadata ScholarOne expects - Confirming the word range is met and the manuscript is properly anonymized ## Process facts (verify volatile items on the official page) - **Owner / publisher:** Modern Language Association (MLA) / Cambridge University Press. - **Portal:** **PMLA's ScholarOne** (`mc.manuscriptcentral.com/pmla`); submit a **Word file**. - **Eligibility:** the author and **all coauthors must be MLA members**; the essay must be **unpublished** (in any language) and **not under consideration elsewhere**; a revised version of a previously submitted PMLA manuscript is **not** considered. - **Review model:** **anonymous (blind)** — anonymize the manuscript; supply a separate cover sheet.

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