# Review Process (wp-review-process) Knowing how World Politics screens and decides lets you pre-empt the failure modes before submitting. World Politics uses a **triple-blind** process and screens for **scope** (comparative politics / IR; no opinion, policy, theory-only, historical, or journalistic pieces) before and during review. ## When to trigger - Before submitting, to stress-test against scope and methods expectations - Interpreting a decision letter and setting expectations - Understanding what reviewers are instructed to weigh - Confirming human-subjects/ethics obligations ## How World Politics review works 1. **Triple-blind.** Reviewing is "based on the anonymity of the author and the confidentiality of readers' and editors' reports." **Author anonymity is preserved through the editorial decision-making process.** Reviewers and handling editors are anonymous to authors. **All** manuscripts — including commissioned review articles — go through triple-blind review. 2. **Reviewers.** Referees are drawn from the social-science community; published articles "have usually been reviewed by **at least two non-Princeton reviewers** and often … one of the editors." 3. **Timeline.**

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