cps-review-process

separate

Use when anticipating how a Comparative Political Studies (CPS) manuscript will be evaluated — desk screening, anonymous peer review, decision categories, and how reviewers judge comparative work. Calibrates expectations; it does not write the submission or the rebuttal.

When to use

• Anticipating how a CPS manuscript will be evaluated
• Stress-testing the paper against likely reviewer objections
• Deciding whether the paper is ready or needs another design/analysis loop
• Interpreting a decision letter and what each decision category means
• Anticipating reviewer disagreement across subfields/methods
• Calibrating expectations for desk screening and anonymous peer review

When not to use

• Writing the submission
• Writing the rebuttal
