What it does

Govern Review Process is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. 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.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Research & Science, covering Literature review. The repository describes itself as: Journal-specific Claude Code/Codex skill packs covering mainstream journals — AER, QJE, Nature, Cell, 管理世界, 经济研究 & 200+ more — your fast track to getting published. | 覆盖主流期刊的… The licence is MIT.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 932eb23. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Govern Review Process loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 121 tokens; SKILL.md has 568 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~121
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
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.

Review Process (govern-review-process)

Knowing how Governance screens and decides lets you pre-empt the failure modes before submitting. Governance is double-blind and screens at the desk for scope fit before sending a paper to at least two referees, who judge it as a contribution to comparative public policy, administration, and the organization of the state — not as a single-country administrative report.

When to trigger

  • Before submitting, to stress-test against desk-rejection grounds (especially scope)
  • Interpreting a decision letter and setting expectations
  • Understanding what comparative-institutional referees are likely to weigh
  • Deciding how much to invest after an R&R signal

How Governance review works

  1. Double-blind. Referees do not know the authors and authors do not know referees. Anonymize the manuscript and supply a separate title page (see govern-submission).
  2. Desk screening first (scope fit). The editors screen for fit before external review. Two scope failures are reliably desk-rejected:
    • Corporate governance (firm boards, shareholders, corporate compliance) — hard out of scope.
    • Literature reviews / state-of-the-field essays / pure bibliometric studies — typically not published here. Also screened: is there a clear, original intervention that travels comparatively/institutionally, or is it a competent single-country description with no general contribution?
  3. External review by ≥ 2 referees. Papers passing the desk go to at least two referees who review anonymously. (检索于 2026-06;以官网为准.)
  4. Decision categories: reject, revise and resubmit (R&R), or accept. As at peer venues, a first-round outright accept is rare; the realistic good outcome is an R&R.
  5. Editor's role. The editors-in-chief (Paolo Graziano and Adam Sheingate, verified 2026-06-22; re-verify the masthead before submission) adjudicate the referee reports, weigh fit and contribution, and write the decision letter that sets the revision agenda.

How comparative-institutional referees judge

A Governance referee tends to press on whether the claim really travels:

  • Case selection. Why these countries/cases? Are they a defensible sample for the inference, or chosen on the outcome? (See govern-research-design.)
  • Generalizability across countries. Does the mechanism hold beyond the studied cases, and are the scope conditions stated honestly?
  • Measurement of institutions. Are bureaucratic autonomy, state capacity, accountability, or regime type measured in a way that is comparable across cases?
  • Alternative institutional explanations. Are rival institutional/political accounts considered and ruled out, not just the favored one?
  • Contribution to understanding the state. Does the paper change how we understand governing, or just add a data point?

What an R&R signals

An R&R means the referees see a real comparative/institutional contribution worth saving. It is an invitation, not an acceptance: the revision must satisfy the substantive concerns (usually case selection, generalizability, measurement) and the response letter must convert each referee while keeping the editor confident the revision is convergent (see govern-rebuttal).

Checklist

  • Manuscript anonymized for double-blind review; separate title page prepared
  • Scope clears the desk: not corporate governance, not a literature review/bibliometric study
  • A clear, original intervention that travels comparatively/institutionally is stated up front
  • Case selection is defensible and not on the outcome
  • Generalizability and scope conditions stated; rival institutional explanations addressed
  • Institutional measures are comparable across cases
  • Data Availability Statement ready (referees increasingly look for it; see govern-transparency-and-data)

Anti-patterns

  • Submitting a corporate-governance paper or a literature review (desk-rejected on scope)
  • A competent single-country description with no comparative/institutional contribution
  • Case selection on the dependent variable with no defense
  • Ignoring obvious rival institutional explanations
  • Expecting a first-round accept; the realistic good outcome is an R&R

Output format

【Desk-scope check】not corporate gov / not lit-review-bibliometric? [Y/N]
【Comparative contribution】clear original intervention that travels? [Y/N]
【Referees】prepared for ≥ 2 anonymous comparative-institutional reviews? [Y/N]
【Likely pressure points】case selection / generalizability / measurement / rivals
【Realistic outcome】reject / R&R / (rare) accept
【Next】govern-submission (or govern-rebuttal once a decision arrives)
