Individual skill
eursr-topic-selection
Use when deciding whether a sociology project fits the European Sociological Review (ESR) and whether to write a full Article, a Comment/Reply, or a Data Brief. ESR is Europe's flagship quantitative-sociology journal, so the test is a portable mechanism studied with a rigorous comparative or longitudinal quantitative design. Frames the question; it does not collect data.

# Topic Selection & Fit (eursr-topic-selection)
ESR is the **quantitative-sociology flagship** of the ECSR. The bar is not "new finding for my
country" — it is **"advances how sociology explains a social process, demonstrated with a rigorous
quantitative design that travels across European contexts."** Use this skill to pressure-test fit
before investing.
## When to trigger
- Choosing among possible projects or framings for ESR
- A reader said the paper feels "single-country," "merely descriptive," or "atheoretical"
- Deciding among a full **Article**, a **Comment/Reply**, and a **Data Brief**
## The ESR fit test
