The orchestrator for an AJPS submission. Figure out the stage and the submission type, then send the user to the matching skill. AJPS is the MPSA's flagship, Wiley-published, double-blind journal whose defining feature is mandatory third-party verification of replication materials before publication — so this router also makes sure reproducibility is engineered from the start, not bolted on at acceptance.
ajps-rebuttal)| Situation | Type | Route to |
|---|---|---|
| Full original study | Article (<= 10,000 words) | normal pipeline below |
| A methodology advance or a meta-analysis | Research Note (<= 4,000 words) | normal pipeline, tighter scope |
| Critique / correction of a paper already published in AJPS | Correspondence (<= 4,000 words) | ajps-literature-positioning + ajps-data-analysis |
The Research Note is not a short empirical paper — at AJPS it is reserved for methodology (including methodology in normative theory) and meta-analyses. Do not mis-route a small empirical study into it.
Idea / fit? -> ajps-topic-selection
Where does it sit in the field? -> ajps-literature-positioning
What's the argument? -> ajps-theory-building
Is the design identified? -> ajps-research-design
Are the analyses sound? -> ajps-data-analysis
Are the exhibits clear? -> ajps-tables-figures
Does it read well + fit caps? -> ajps-writing-style
Will the code re-run for a verifier? -> ajps-replication-and-verification
How will it be judged? -> ajps-review-process
Ready to submit? -> ajps-submission
Got an R&R / decision? -> ajps-rebuttal

Iterate: theory <-> design <-> analysis usually loops several times. Critically, start the replication-and-verification package while you analyze — at acceptance an independent verifier re-runs your code, and an unscripted analysis cannot be fixed quickly under deadline.
Run this as a concrete capability pass. First lock the political theory, design leverage, measurement validity, and scope condition; then test whether the manuscript addresses political-science reviewers who expect tight theory, transparent design, and a contribution that travels across political settings.
