# Pre-Submission Preflight (soctheory-submission) > ST is theory-focused. There is no dataset, code, or replication package to deposit. The > preflight centers on the *theory paper's* format, masking, ASA style, and ethics — not on > empirical materials. Data, if present at all, is illustrative. ## Journal facts (verified; volatile items flagged) - **Publisher / owner**: SAGE for the American Sociological Association (ASA); ST is the ASA's dedicated theory journal. Founded **1983**; published **quarterly (March / June / September / December)**. - **Review**: **double-anonymous** (author and reviewer identities masked). ASA requires masking and treats simultaneous submission elsewhere as unethical. - **Acceptance rate** and **number of reviewers per manuscript** are **not published** in the official sources — do not state a figure; treat as 待核实 if asked. - **Processing fee**: **$25 non-refundable**, waived for ASA student members (Source 1; re-verify before paying). The official sources confirm only that ASA *student membership* triggers the waiver; they do not state any ASA-membership requirement to submit — treat a general "must I be an ASA member?" question as 待核实. ## When to tri

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