sf-review-process
Use to understand how Social Forces (SF) evaluates a manuscript — double-anonymized review via ScholarOne, what expert reviewers weigh (rigor, general significance, theoretical grounding), the typical decision categories, and the journal's reported review timeline. Sets expectations and shapes the paper to survive review; it does not contact editors.

# Review Process (sf-review-process)
Knowing how Social Forces screens and decides lets you pre-empt the failure modes before submitting. SF
is **double-anonymized** and managed through **ScholarOne Manuscript Central** for the editorial office
at the **UNC Department of Sociology**. Its reviewers prize **methodological rigor**, **general
social-science significance**, and a **theoretically grounded** contribution.
## When to trigger
- Before submitting, to stress-test the paper against the likely reviewer concerns
- Interpreting a decision letter and setting expectations
- Understanding what reviewers and editors weigh at SF specifically
- Estimating timeline (the journal reports a ~71-day median review-to-decision; 待核实)
