respol-review-process

separate

Use when calibrating expectations and choreography for the Research Policy (RP) review cycle — the double-blind process, the out-of-scope desk screen, handling-editor routing, the Research Note option, and what RP referees reward versus reject. Sets expectations; it does not draft the response letter (respol-rebuttal).

When to use

• calibrating expectations for RP review cycle
• understanding double-blind process and handling-editor routing
• diagnosing desk reject reasons (scope vs contribution)
• deciding between full article and Research Note
• planning response after decision letter
• weighing transfer to sibling journals
• triaging referee points into must-fix, framing, and discretionary

When not to use

• drafting the response letter
• writing the rebuttal
