Use to understand how Demography (PAA / Duke University Press) evaluates a manuscript — double-blind review, pre-review/desk screening by the Editor or a Deputy Editor, the role of topic-area Deputy Editors, and the grounds for desk rejection (inappropriate fit or unlikely to receive favorable reviews). Sets expectations and shapes the paper to survive review; it does not contact editors.

# Review Process (demog-review-process)
Knowing how Demography screens and decides lets you pre-empt the failure modes before submitting.
Demography is **double-blind** and runs a **pre-review** with the Editor or a Deputy Editor before
external review.
## When to trigger
- Before submitting, to stress-test against desk-rejection grounds
- Interpreting a decision letter and setting expectations
- Understanding the role of topic-area Deputy Editors
- Deciding how to anonymize and how to frame general interest
## How Demography review works
