spq-review-process

Use to understand how Social Psychology Quarterly (SPQ) evaluates a manuscript — masked (blinded) review, the blinding check that temporarily rejects under-blinded papers, what reviewers from different sociological-social-psychology traditions weigh, and the reject / revise-and-resubmit / accept decision pattern. Sets expectations and shapes the paper to survive review; it does not contact editors.

# Review Process (spq-review-process)

Knowing how SPQ screens and decides lets you pre-empt failure modes before submitting. SPQ uses **masked
review** and draws reviewers from across sociological social psychology, so a paper must read as a genuine
contribution to the field's traditions and must arrive properly blinded.

## When to trigger

- Before submitting, to stress-test fit and blinding
- Interpreting a decision letter and setting expectations
- Understanding what reviewers from your tradition (and adjacent ones) will weigh
- Deciding whether the contribution is strong enough for an Article or better as a Note
