Navigates the Psychological Review peer-review lifecycle by clarifying evaluation criteria, article types, and theoretical reviewer expectations.

The psychrev-review-process skill guides researchers through the rigorous masked peer-review workflow of Psychological Review. It helps authors determine the optimal manuscript category (full Theoretical Article versus Theoretical Note), unpacks how theory-focused reviewers evaluate model validity and rival accounts, and provides structured frameworks for interpreting editorial decision letters. By mapping anticipated reviewer challenges directly to underlying theoretical requirements, this skill ensures authors address core conceptual and computational hurdles before submission or during revision rounds.
