epsl-review-process
Use when you need to understand how Earth and Planetary Science Letters (EPSL) evaluates a manuscript — subject-editor desk screening against the frontier bar, expert review typically drawn from the sub-fields the paper joins, and editor-led decisions. It sets expectations and hardens the paper before submission; it does not contact editors.

# Review Process (epsl-review-process)
EPSL's review is run by working scientists: a team of editors, each handling manuscripts near their
own specialty, screening first for whether the paper is a genuine Letter — concise, decisive, of
broad Earth-and-planets interest — before sending it to expert referees. Knowing the two-gate
structure (desk screen on significance and fit, then technical review on rigor) lets you harden the
paper against each gate in advance. Volatile details (editor names, reviewer counts, timelines) drift;
re-check them on the official site.
## When to trigger
- Pre-submission stress test against the desk-screen and reviewer axes
- Interpreting a decision letter and planning the response strategy
- Anticipating which sub-fields the referees will come from
