govern-review-process

separate

Use when you need to understand how Governance: An International Journal of Policy, Administration, and Institutions evaluates a manuscript — double-blind review by at least two referees, desk screening for scope (corporate governance and literature reviews are desk-rejected), the reject / R&R / accept decision categories, and how comparative-institutional reviewers judge. Sets expectations and shapes the paper to survive review; it does not contact editors.

When to use

• stress-test against desk-rejection grounds
• interpreting a decision letter
• understanding comparative-institutional referee criteria
• deciding investment after an R&R signal
• pre-empting failure modes before submitting

When not to use

• contacting editors
• submitting corporate governance papers
• submitting literature reviews or bibliometric studies
