bjps-review-process

separate

Use to understand how the British Journal of Political Science (BJPS) evaluates a manuscript — double-blind review with at least two referees, the desk screen, decision categories, and what reviewers are asked to weigh. Sets expectations and shapes the paper to survive review; it does not contact editors.

When to use

• stress-test against desk-screen grounds
• interpreting a decision letter
• understanding what reviewers are instructed to weigh
• deciding whether the paper's general interest is strong enough
• shaping the paper to pass review
• calibrating to referee traditions

When not to use

• contacting editors
