What its author says it does

Copied from the file, not written here

Use as the entry point for any Public Opinion Quarterly (POQ) manuscript. Routes to the right POQ sub-skill based on where you are in the lifecycle and which submission type (Original Article, Research Note, Polls in Context, Research Synthesis, Book Review) fits. It dispatches; it does not draft content.

POQ Workflow Router (poq-workflow)

The orchestrator for a POQ submission. Figure out the stage and the submission type, then send the user to the matching skill. POQ is the leading journal of public opinion and survey methodology — the router's first job is to make sure the paper is framed as a measurement/opinion contribution with survey error and AAPOR-standard disclosure taken seriously from the start.

When to trigger

Starting a new POQ paper and unsure where to begin
Mid-project and unsure which skill applies next
Deciding which submission type fits the paper
Returning with a decision letter (route to poq-rebuttal)

First question: which submission type?

Situation	Type	Route to
Full study — opinion or methods contribution	Original Article (≤ 6,500 words text + notes)	normal pipeline below
Single finding, extension, or replication	Research Note (< 3,000 words)	normal pipeline, tighter scope
Short, timely read of current poll data	Polls in Context (≤ 2,500 words)	`poq-data-analysis` + `poq-writing-style`
Integrative review of a literature	Research Synthesis (≤ 6,500 words)	`poq-literature-positioning` + `poq-theory-and-hypotheses`
Brief assessment of a recent book	Book Review (~1,200 words)	`poq-writing-style`

Word caps count text and notes, excluding figures, tables, references, and appendices — so the AAPOR disclosure appendix does not eat your budget. Confirm the current caps (待核实 on section names).

Routing map (stage → skill)

Idea / fit?                          → poq-topic-selection
Where does it sit in the field?      → poq-literature-positioning
What's the argument/hypothesis?      → poq-theory-and-hypotheses
Is the survey design defensible?     → poq-survey-design-and-measurement
Are the analyses design-based?       → poq-data-analysis
Are the exhibits clear?              → poq-tables-figures
Does it read for POQ?                → poq-writing-style
Repro package + Appendix A?          → poq-transparency-and-data-policy
How will it be judged?               → poq-review-process
Ready to submit?                     → poq-submission
Got an R&R / decision?               → poq-rebuttal

Default order

topic-selection → literature-positioning → theory-and-hypotheses → survey-design-and-measurement → data-analysis → tables-figures → writing-style → transparency-and-data-policy → review-process → submission → rebuttal

Iterate: most papers loop survey-design ↔ data-analysis several times before writing-style.

Anti-patterns

Treating POQ like a generic social-science venue — the survey-error and disclosure bar is specific
Leaving AAPOR disclosure (response rate, sampling, weighting) until the end instead of building Appendix A as you go
Padding a Research Note or Polls in Context toward Article length
Skipping the replication package until acceptance — it is archived before typesetting

Router pass for Public Opinion Quarterly

Run this as a concrete capability pass. First lock the public-opinion construct, sampling frame, mode effects, weighting/nonresponse plan, and trend or causal interpretation; then test whether the manuscript addresses survey and public-opinion reviewers who inspect measurement, sampling, mode, nonresponse, and inference about attitudes or behavior.

Primary move: Run the pack as fit gate, evidence gate, writing gate, source-map gate, and output contract; stop when a gate lacks evidence.
Decision ledger: return claim / evidence / blocker / next edit rows so the next pass can patch the manuscript directly.
Sibling comparison: compare against Political Analysis for methods-first work, Journal of Politics for political-science theory, Communication Research for media-effects framing; if the neighboring outlet has the stronger audience claim, recommend re-routing before polishing.
Verification floor: before submission-ready advice, re-open resources/official-source-map.md for volatile rules and name the one unresolved fact that could change the recommendation.
