ppsych-workflow

Use when deciding which ppsych-* sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing a broad integrative review, theoretical statement, or meta-science piece from topic through revision for a Perspectives on Psychological Science (PoPS) manuscript. Routes by lifecycle stage and contribution type; it dispatches and does not draft content.

# PoPS Workflow Router (ppsych-workflow)

## Overview

This is the router. It tells you **which ppsych-* skill to use at the current stage** of a manuscript aimed at *Perspectives on Psychological Science* (PoPS) — the **SAGE** journal published in partnership with the **Association for Psychological Science (APS)**, a **bimonthly**, broad, integrative outlet (检索于 2026-06;以官网为准). PoPS does **not** publish single empirical studies (those go to *Psychological Science*) or routine meta-analyses (those go to specialized review journals). It publishes **broad integrative reviews, overviews of research programs, theoretical and conceptual statements, methodology and meta-science commentary, and big-picture "perspective" pieces** across all of psychology and adjacent behavioral, social, neuro, and methods fields (检索于 2026-06;以官网为准). The contribution is a **field-shaping synthesis or argument**, not a new dataset.

So the lifecycle is not "design → run → estimate → defend." It is: **find a synthesis- or argument-worthy question → decide whether a proposal is required → read across areas → impose an organizing framework → make the treatment comprehensive and balanced → model exemplary open science → manage the editor relationship → submit → revise.** Default assumption unless the user says otherwise: the target is PoPS and the artefact is a **broad integrative/theoretical/meta-science piece**, not a primary-research paper.

## When to trigger

- The user asks "what should I do next?" on a PoPS review, theoretical statement, or meta-science piece
- A draft reads like an annotated bibliography or a single-study report and needs a spine or a venue check
- Work is ping-ponging between coverage, framing, balance, open-science, and the proposal route
- A PoPS decision letter arrived and the user needs to switch into revision mode
