spq-review-process
Use to understand how Social Psychology Quarterly (SPQ) evaluates a manuscript — masked (blinded) review, the blinding check that temporarily rejects under-blinded papers, what reviewers from different sociological-social-psychology traditions weigh, and the reject / revise-and-resubmit / accept decision pattern. Sets expectations and shapes the paper to survive review; it does not contact editors.

# Review Process (spq-review-process) Knowing how SPQ screens and decides lets you pre-empt failure modes before submitting. SPQ uses **masked review** and draws reviewers from across sociological social psychology, so a paper must read as a genuine contribution to the field's traditions and must arrive properly blinded. ## When to trigger - Before submitting, to stress-test fit and blinding - Interpreting a decision letter and setting expectations - Understanding what reviewers from your tradition (and adjacent ones) will weigh - Deciding whether the contribution is strong enough for an Article or better as a Note ## How SPQ review works 1. **Masked / blinded.** Reviewers should not be able to identify the authors. You submit a **blinded manuscript** (no identifiers) plus a **separate title page** file. If the manuscript is **not sufficiently blinded**, the editorial office **temporarily rejects** it and returns it for reformatting before review resumes — an avoidable delay. 2. **Fit screening.** Editors assess whether the paper is genuinely **sociological social psychology** — does it illuminate the link between social structure/process and the individual?

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