ajps-review-process
Use to understand how the American Journal of Political Science (AJPS) evaluates a manuscript — double-blind peer review, desk screening, decision categories, the methodology-only Research Note and Correspondence routes, and the third-party verification that follows acceptance. Sets expectations and shapes the paper to survive review; it does not contact editors.

# Review Process (ajps-review-process)
Knowing how AJPS screens, decides, and then **verifies** lets you pre-empt failure modes before
submitting. AJPS is **double-blind**, published by Wiley for the MPSA, and pairs ordinary peer review
with a **post-acceptance third-party verification** step that no in-house-only journal has (see
`ajps-replication-and-verification`).
## When to trigger
- Before submitting, to stress-test the paper against likely rejection grounds
- Deciding whether the paper is an Article, a methodology/meta-analysis **Research Note**, or a
**Correspondence**
- Interpreting a decision letter and setting expectations
- Understanding what happens between "accept" and "in print"
