apsr-review-process
Use to understand how the American Political Science Review (APSR) evaluates a manuscript — double-anonymous review, desk-rejection screening (remit / ethics / substance), the reject / accept / revise-and-resubmit decision categories, editor discretion, and the Registered Reports route. Sets expectations and shapes the paper to survive review; it does not contact editors.

# Review Process (apsr-review-process)
Knowing how APSR screens and decides lets you pre-empt the failure modes before submitting. APSR is
**double-anonymous** and screens hard at the desk before external review.
## When to trigger
- Before submitting, to stress-test against desk-rejection grounds
- Deciding whether to use the **Registered Reports** (Stage 1) route
- Interpreting a decision letter and setting expectations
- Understanding what reviewers are instructed to weigh
## How APSR review works
