# Review Process (aerj-review-process)

Knowing how AERJ evaluates a paper shapes how you write and submit it. AERJ uses **masked /
double-anonymous review**, screens for fit before sending out for review, and expects a contribution
that reaches the integrated field-wide AERJ audience. Verify volatile specifics (timelines, reviewer
counts, desk-reject rate) on the official page — they are not published as fixed numbers.

## When to trigger

- Setting expectations before or after submission
- Anticipating likely reviewer objections to pre-empt in the draft
- Understanding why a desk rejection happened, or what an R&R signals
- Deciding how to frame the cover letter for integrated AERJ fit
