Evaluates manuscript fit, framing, and interdisciplinary standards for the Journal of Economic Geography.

The Journal of Economic Geography skill helps researchers evaluate, frame, and refine manuscripts targeting the Journal of Economic Geography (JoEG) or related spatial-economics outlets. It provides actionable heuristics for bridging economics and qualitative/institutional geography, evaluating method rigor against spatial confounding and sorting issues, identifying desk-reject risks, and suggesting alternative target venues when appropriate.

Key Features

01Assesses method rigor for quantitative spatial models and qualitative designs
02Identifies common desk-reject risks like spatial confounding and unaddressed sorting
03Provides pre-submission self-checklists and house style alignment
041,079 GitHub stars
05Evaluates interdisciplinary fit between spatial economics and regional geography
06Suggests re-routing to related journals like JUE, AER, Research Policy, or World Development

Use Cases

01Screening a manuscript for common desk-reject risks prior to official journal submission
02Reframing an applied economics manuscript to engage foundational economic geography literature
03Evaluating if an empirical regional or spatial paper fits the interdisciplinary scope of JoEG
