# ARSoc Workflow Router (arsoc-workflow)

## Overview

This is the router. It tells you **which arsoc-* skill to use at the current stage** of an **invited review article** aimed at the *Annual Review of Sociology* (ARSoc) — the **Annual Reviews** (nonprofit) sociology survey series, founded **1975**, published as an **annual volume** with the discipline's highest impact factor (检索于 2026-06；2024 JIF ≈ 9, ranked 1st of 219 in Sociology；以官网为准). ARSoc does **not** publish original empirical research. It publishes **authoritative, accessible review articles** that synthesize a sociology subfield — stratification, culture, organizations, networks, race/ethnicity, gender, demography, political and economic sociology — for sociologists across the discipline. So the lifecycle is not "design → identify → estimate → defend"; it is **scope a synthesis-worthy subfield → secure the commission → read the whole literature → impose an organizing framework → cover comprehensively and even-handedly → land the ARSoc voice → clear the Annual Reviews process → revise.**

Default assumption: unless the user says otherwise, treat the target as ARSoc and the artefact as an **invited review**, not a primary-research paper. Operational tells that you are at ARSoc and not a sibling: the work **reviews other scholars' results** rather than reporting its own; **unsolicited finished manuscripts are not accepted** — the **Editorial Committee commissions** topics and authors (you can suggest a topic, but you cannot self-submit a finished paper the way you would to ASR or AJS) (检索于 2026-06；以官网为准); there is **no identification strategy and no replication package of your own data** (you appraise the studies you cover); the contribution is an **analytical map of a subfield** ending in a research agenda, not a new finding. If the user actually has original data and results, they want a primary-research journal (ASR, AJS, *Sociological Science*, *Demography*), not ARSoc — say so.

## When to trigger

- The user asks "what should I do next?" on an invited review
- A review draft reads like an annotated bibliography and needs a spine
- Work is ping-ponging between coverage, framing, balance, and the topic pitch
- An ARSoc editor/Committee letter arrived and the user needs to switch into revision mode
