Evaluates research topics and frames behavioral mechanisms to determine publication fit for the Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization.

JEBO Topic Selection helps researchers evaluate whether their behavioral, experimental, or organizational economics research aligns with the scope and editorial standards of the Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization (JEBO). By running proposed studies through structured filters—behavioral content, generalizability, and method-fit—this skill sharpens paper framing, ensures explicit behavioral mechanisms rather than decorative add-ons, and differentiates JEBO submissions from sibling outlets like Experimental Economics, Games and Economic Behavior, and the Journal of Economic Psychology.

Key Features

01Outputs structured fit verdicts and actionable framing recommendations
02Structures the core behavioral hook into a standardized mechanism formula
03Evaluates research fit against three core JEBO editorial filters
04Identifies desk-reject anti-patterns such as bolted-on behavioral interpretations
05Differentiates submission targets across sibling journals like ExpEcon, GEB, and JEP

02Evaluating paper positioning prior to draft writing or submission to avoid desk rejection
03Reframing an empirical causal paper to emphasize behavioral economic mechanisms
