Evaluates, scopes, and frames economics research topics to ensure fit with The Economic Journal's standards for broad relevance and contribution.
The Economic Journal Topic Selection skill helps academic researchers diagnose and position their research questions specifically for The Economic Journal (EJ). It benchmarks ideas against EJ's rigorous criteria—evaluating broad international interest, substantial theoretical or empirical contributions, economic mechanisms, technical craft, and exposition clarity. It assists authors in deciding between full-length articles and AER:Insights-style short papers, differentiating EJ from field journals or sibling publications like The Econometrics Journal, and structuring core contribution claims before manuscript drafting.
