devpsych-review-process
Use when you need to understand how Developmental Psychology (APA) evaluates a manuscript — masked peer review, editorial weighting of developmental significance, design rigor (age/cohort, invariance, attrition), JARS reporting, and TOP transparency. Use when stress-testing a paper before submission or interpreting a decision letter. Sets expectations and shapes the paper to survive review; it does not contact editors.

# Review Process (devpsych-review-process)
Developmental Psychology combines theory-advancing selectivity with rigorous developmental-method
scrutiny. The journal offers **masked peer review**, and editors and reviewers weigh not only whether the
finding is interesting, but whether the **developmental claim is credible** (age vs. cohort, measurement
invariance, attrition), whether reporting meets **JARS**, and whether transparency meets **TOP**. Knowing
this lets you pre-empt the common rejection reasons.
## When to trigger
- Before submitting, to stress-test the manuscript
- Deciding whether to request masked review and how to anonymize
- Interpreting a decision letter and setting expectations
