# PRL Referee Strategy (prl-referee-strategy)
## When to trigger
- The submission form asks for suggested / opposed referees
- You want to anticipate the objections a PRL referee will raise and address them in advance
- A prior Letter was bounced and you are rethinking who reviews it
- You are coordinating the cover-letter referee section (see `prl-cover-letter`)
## How PRL review works (durable shape)
PRL is **selective**. APS editors triage on importance + breadth, then send promising Letters to referees (commonly two or more). A referee can recommend rejection on **importance/breadth grounds even when the work is correct** — so your strategy must defend both the science *and* the venue fit. There are defined resubmission and appeal routes if you disagree (handled in `prl-revision`).
