pubar-review-process

Use when you need to understand how Public Administration Review (PAR) evaluates a manuscript — double-blind review, desk screening for fit/scope/practice-relevance, the reject / major / minor / accept decision spectrum, the role of Evidence for Practice, and the article types. Sets expectations and shapes the paper to survive review; it does not contact editors.

# Review Process (pubar-review-process)

Knowing how PAR screens and decides lets you pre-empt the failure modes before submitting. PAR is the
**ASPA flagship**, edited by a team (Editors-in-Chief plus associate/handling editors), and runs
**double-blind** peer review with a strong expectation that every article bridges research and practice.

## When to trigger

- Before submitting, to stress-test against desk-rejection grounds
- Choosing the right **article type** for the route through review
- Interpreting a decision letter and setting expectations
- Understanding what reviewers are instructed to weigh
