Use when anticipating how a Progress in Human Geography (PiHG) review essay will be judged — the double-anonymous review model, decision categories, and the desk-reject triggers specific to a review journal. Explains what to expect; it does not draft the manuscript or the response letter.

# Review Process (phg-review-process)

Understanding how PiHG judges a submission lets you pre-empt the objections a review essay draws. PiHG is
**double-anonymous**, and its reviewers are typically **senior figures in the sub-field** who know the
literature you are reviewing intimately. They ask a different question than an empirical journal's referees:
not "are the methods sound?" but "**does this command the field, and does it move it forward?**"

## When to trigger

- Before submission, to stress-test against likely reviewer objections
- Interpreting a decision letter's category and tone (then route to `phg-rebuttal`)
- Deciding whether a critique in review is fixable or fatal
- Calibrating how ambitious the intervention can be for this venue
