American Sociological Review Skills
Agent skill stack for manuscripts targeted at the American Sociological Review (ASR) — the flagship general journal of the American Sociological Association (ASA), published by SAGE, submitted through Sage Track (ScholarOne Manuscript Central) under masked (anonymous) peer review. ASR carries a $25 non-refundable manuscript processing fee (waived for ASA student members), caps Articles at 15,000 w

12- ▌ Asr Rebuttal · brycewang-stanfordUse when writing the response to an American Sociological Review (ASR) revise-and-resubmit. ASR R&Rs typically demand substantial revision and reviewers may span different methodological traditions, so the response must convert each reviewer while keeping the editor confident. Structures the response letter; it does not fabricate new results.
- ▌ Asr Workflow · brycewang-stanfordUse as the entry point for any American Sociological Review (ASR) manuscript. Routes to the right ASR sub-skill based on the lifecycle stage and the manuscript type (Article up to 15,000 words vs. Comment/Reply up to 3,000). It dispatches; it does not draft content.
- ▌ Asr Submission · brycewang-stanfordUse when running the final pre-submission preflight for the American Sociological Review (ASR) via Sage Track — masked-manuscript preparation, the separate title page, word/abstract caps, ASA Style Guide formatting, the $25 processing fee, and ethics declarations. Final checks; it does not draft content.
- ▌ Asr Data Analysis · brycewang-stanfordUse when executing and reporting the analysis for an American Sociological Review (ASR) manuscript so it survives expert masked review — honest uncertainty, robustness, and evidence handling appropriate to quantitative, demographic, comparative-historical, or computational sociology. Guides analysis norms; it does not fabricate results.
- ▌ Asr Writing Style · brycewang-stanfordUse when drafting or polishing an American Sociological Review (ASR) manuscript so it reads for the whole discipline, follows the ASA Style Guide, and fits the limits (Articles <= 15,000 words including text, references, and footnotes; abstract <= 200 words). Tightens prose and format; it does not invent content.
- ▌ Asr Review Process · brycewang-stanfordUse to understand how the American Sociological Review (ASR) evaluates a manuscript — masked (anonymous) peer review, what reviewers across sociological traditions weigh, decision categories, and the ethics rules (no simultaneous submission). Sets expectations and shapes the paper to survive review; it does not contact editors.
- ▌ Asr Tables Figures · brycewang-stanfordUse when building tables and figures for an American Sociological Review (ASR) manuscript. ASR excludes tables and figures from the 15,000-word count but still expects them to be clear, self-contained, and ASA-formatted. Designs exhibits; it does not run the analysis.
- ▌ Asr Research Design · brycewang-stanfordUse when defending the research design of an American Sociological Review (ASR) manuscript — causal/observational inference for quantitative and demographic work, case selection and comparison for comparative-historical work, site and informant logic for ethnography, and network/computational designs. ASR judges each tradition on its own terms. Strengthens the design; it does not write code.
- ▌ Asr Theory Building · brycewang-stanfordUse when building the theoretical argument of an American Sociological Review (ASR) manuscript into a portable contribution — for quantitative, demographic, comparative-historical, ethnographic, network, or computational work. ASR rewards a mechanism that travels over a setting-bound finding. Structures the argument; it does not run analyses.
- ▌ Asr Topic Selection · brycewang-stanfordUse when deciding whether a sociology project fits the American Sociological Review (ASR) and whether to write a full Article or a Comment/Reply. ASR is sociology's general flagship, so the test is broad significance and theoretical payoff across subfields, not novelty within one. Frames the question; it does not collect data.
- ▌ Asr Data And Transparency · brycewang-stanfordUse when handling data documentation, sharing, and confidentiality for an American Sociological Review (ASR) manuscript. ASR follows the ASA data-sharing policy — share data and documentation after a project's completion or major publications, with confidentiality and proprietary exemptions — rather than a mandatory editor-verified replication deposit. Prepares documentation; it does not over-state requirements.
- ▌ Asr Literature Positioning · brycewang-stanfordUse when positioning an American Sociological Review (ASR) manuscript against the literature so it reads as a broad sociological contribution rather than a subfield note. Stakes the contribution in a debate that travels across sociology; it does not write the literature review.
