Individual skill
gcb-review-process
Use to understand how a Global Change Biology (GCB) manuscript is judged — high desk-rejection screening for scope and significance, expert single-anonymous peer review with 2–3 reviewers, and the decision categories. Sets expectations and informs preparation; it does not contact editors or predict outcomes.

# Review Process (gcb-review-process)
GCB is selective and desk-rejects a large share of submissions before review. Knowing **how** it is
judged — what triggers desk rejection, who reviews, and what decisions look like — lets you prepare a
manuscript that survives screening and convinces reviewers. Verify volatile specifics on the official
page before submission.
## When to trigger
- Setting expectations before submitting
- Diagnosing why a paper might be desk-rejected
- Anticipating reviewer concerns to pre-empt in the manuscript
- Interpreting a decision letter (then route to `gcb-revision-and-rebuttal`)
