"name": "bjps-workflow",
"description": "Use as the entry point for any British Journal of Political Science (BJPS \/ BJPolS) manuscript. Routes to the right BJPS sub-skill based on lifecycle stage and which of the three formats (Research Article, Letter, Comment) fits. It dispatches; it does not draft content."

BJPS Workflow Router (bjps-workflow)
The orchestrator for a British Journal of Political Science submission. Figure out the stage and the format, then send the user to the matching skill. BJPS is a broad, internationally-oriented general political-science journal (Cambridge University Press) that covers every subfield and methodology — the router's first job is to confirm the paper has wide interest and is pitched beyond a single subfield or national case.
When to trigger
- Starting a new BJPS paper and unsure where to begin
- Mid-project and unsure which skill applies next
- Deciding which of the three formats fits the paper
- Returning with a decision letter (route to
bjps-rebuttal)
First question: which format?
| Situation | Format | Route to |
|---|---|---|
| Full original study, broad interest | Research Article (~10,000 words; 待核实 exact cap) | normal pipeline below |
| One crisp, focused contribution | Letter (short article, ~4,000 words; 待核实) | normal pipeline, tighter scope |
| Critique / correction of a published BJPS piece | Comment | bjps-literature-positioning + bjps-research-design |
A Letter is not a half-finished Article — it is a complete, decisive contribution at short length. Do not pad a Letter into an Article, or starve an Article into a Letter.
Routing map (stage → skill)
Idea / fit? → bjps-topic-selection
Where does it sit in the field? → bjps-literature-positioning
What's the argument? → bjps-theory-building
Is the design defensible? → bjps-research-design
Are the analyses sound? → bjps-data-analysis
Are the exhibits clear? → bjps-tables-figures
Does it read for the field? → bjps-writing-style
Replication data & transparency? → bjps-transparency-and-data
How will it be judged? → bjps-review-process
Ready to submit? → bjps-submission
Got an R&R / decision? → bjps-rebuttal
Default order
topic-selection → literature-positioning → theory-building → research-design → data-analysis → tables-figures → writing-style → transparency-and-data → review-process → submission → rebuttal
Iterate: most papers loop theory ↔ design ↔ analysis several times before writing-style.
Wide-interest routing check
Before selecting the next skill, force a one-minute BJPS fit check:
| Check | Pass condition | Route if weak |
|---|---|---|
| Interest | A scholar outside the author's subfield (or country specialism) can state why the question matters to political science generally. | bjps-topic-selection |
| Format | The manuscript clearly fits Research Article, Letter, or Comment. | format table above |
| Method pluralism | The method is defended on its own terms, not forced into a quantitative template; BJPS spans formal, quant, qual, and interpretive work. | bjps-research-design |
| Transparency | Replication data/code (or a qualitative-transparency / restricted-access plan) is mapped to the BJPolS Dataverse expectation. | bjps-transparency-and-data |
If the paper fails the interest check, do not route to writing-style. It needs a theory or fit repair — BJPS reviewers reject competent single-country or single-subfield studies that never make a claim of general political-science interest.
Anti-patterns
- Treating BJPS like a national or subfield outlet — the contribution must travel beyond one case or specialism
- Forcing a quantitative template onto qualitative, formal, or interpretive work (BJPS judges each on its own terms)
- Confusing BJPS with its US generalist siblings (APSR, AJPS) or specialists (CPS, World Politics) — see README
- Deferring the replication package to acceptance — assemble it as you analyze
Output format
【Stage】idea / positioning / theory / design / analysis / exhibits / writing / transparency / review / submit / rebut
【Format】Research Article / Letter / Comment
【Route to】bjps-<skill>
【Why】one line
【Then】the next skill after that
