Use when calibrating expectations and choreography for the Research Policy (RP) review cycle — the double-blind process, the out-of-scope desk screen, handling-editor routing, the Research Note option, and what RP referees reward versus reject. Sets expectations; it does not draft the response letter (respol-rebuttal).

# Review Process (respol-review-process)

## When to trigger

- You want realistic odds and timelines before or after submitting to RP
- A desk reject arrived and you need to read whether it was scope, contribution, or fit
- You are deciding whether to position the work as a full article or a Research Note
- A decision letter arrived (reject / major / minor) and you need to plan, not yet write, the response
- You are weighing transfer to a sibling (ICC, Technovation, JPIM) after an RP rejection

## How Research Policy review actually works

RP runs a **double-blind** process (检索于 2026-06；以官网为准): the Editor-in-Chief routes a submission to a **Handling Editor** matched to its area (innovation systems, science/technology policy, entrepreneurship and innovation, university-industry interactions, R&D management, or innovation methodology), who manages the referees and the decision. Before referees, there is a **desk screen** that tests two things: whether the paper is genuinely innovation studies (the out-of-scope filter for econ/management-only papers) and whether the substantive contribution is plausible. Surviving that, expect a small number of expert referees and the standard reject / major-revision / minor-revision / accept ladder. Treat all timeline numbers as volatile and verify on the live journal pages (待核实).
