JCP Topic Selection & Outlet Fit
Evaluates consumer research phenomena for Journal of Consumer Psychology (JCP) fit and selects the appropriate manuscript format.
JCP Topic Selection is a specialized Claude Code skill designed for academic researchers in marketing, psychology, and consumer behavior. It provides structured guidance to determine whether a research idea fits the psychological-process requirements of the Journal of Consumer Psychology (JCP) versus sibling outlets like JCR, JMR, JM, or Psychological Science. The skill helps scholars identify core mental mechanisms, select optimal manuscript formats (Research Article, Research Report, Conceptual Review, or Research Dialogue), and avoid common submission pitfalls such as context-as-contribution or strategy drift before locking in theory and experimental designs.
