asr-review-process

Use to understand how the American Sociological Review (ASR) evaluates a manuscript — masked (anonymous) peer review, what reviewers across sociological traditions weigh, decision categories, and the ethics rules (no simultaneous submission). Sets expectations and shapes the paper to survive review; it does not contact editors.

# Review Process (asr-review-process)

Knowing how ASR reviews helps you pre-empt the failure modes before submitting. ASR uses **masked
(anonymous)** review and draws reviewers from across sociology, so a paper must read credibly to
experts who may not share its method.

## When to trigger

- Before submitting, to stress-test the manuscript against likely reviewer objections
- Interpreting a decision letter and setting expectations
- Understanding why broad significance and method-appropriate rigor both matter
