Use when anticipating how a Language (LSA) manuscript will be judged — the double-anonymous review, the general-audience and cross-framework bar, the desk-return filters (descriptive data dump, single-framework parochialism, undocumented data), and the decision categories. Sets expectations and stress-tests before submission; it does not write the paper.

# Review Process (lang-review-process)

Knowing how *Language* actually evaluates a manuscript lets you pre-empt the objections before you
submit. *Language* runs **double-anonymous** review under co-editors and an editorial team, drawing
referees from **across subfields**, and it screens hard at intake: a paper that is a **descriptive data
dump**, that lives **inside one framework**, or that rests on **undocumented data** may be returned
before external review. This skill maps the process and stress-tests the paper against it.

## When to trigger

- Before submission, to predict reviewer objections and the likely outcome
- After a decision letter, to read the outcome category correctly (then route to `lang-rebuttal`)
- Deciding whether the piece fits a full article or a shorter/online section
- Calibrating expectations for a first-round outcome
