govern-review-process

Use when you need to understand how Governance: An International Journal of Policy, Administration, and Institutions evaluates a manuscript — double-blind review by at least two referees, desk screening for scope (corporate governance and literature reviews are desk-rejected), the reject / R&R / accept decision categories, and how comparative-institutional reviewers judge. Sets expectations and shapes the paper to survive review; it does not contact editors.

# Review Process (govern-review-process)

Knowing how *Governance* screens and decides lets you pre-empt the failure modes before submitting.
*Governance* is **double-blind** and screens at the desk for **scope fit** before sending a paper to **at
least two referees**, who judge it as a contribution to comparative public policy, administration, and
the organization of the state — not as a single-country administrative report.

## When to trigger

- Before submitting, to stress-test against desk-rejection grounds (especially scope)
- Interpreting a decision letter and setting expectations
- Understanding what comparative-institutional referees are likely to weigh
- Deciding how much to invest after an R&R signal
