Use when deciding which jhr-* sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing manuscript work from topic selection through rebuttal for a Journal of Human Resources (JHR) submission. Routes — it does not replace — the specialized skills.

# JHR Workflow Router (jhr-workflow)

## Overview

This is the router. It does not replace any specialized skill. It tells you **which jhr-* skill to use at the current stage** of a manuscript aimed at the *Journal of Human Resources*.

Default assumption: unless told otherwise, treat the target as JHR — a leading **empirical-microeconomics** journal founded in 1965, published by University of Wisconsin Press and housed at the UW-Madison Institute for Research on Poverty (IRP). It covers **labor, development, health, education, discrimination, and retirement** economics with a strong applied-micro, causal-identification, and **public-policy** orientation. Crucially, despite its name, JHR does **NOT** consider management or personnel ("HR management") research — and the nonrefundable submission fee is not returned for out-of-scope papers. The Editor is **Anna Aizer (Brown)** as of 2026-06-01; **Michael Lovenheim (Cornell)** becomes Editor on **2026-07-01** — re-verify on the live editorial-board page.

## When to trigger

- The user asks "what should I do next?"
- A draft is handed over and the current bottleneck needs diagnosing
- Work is ping-ponging between empirics, writing, and the response letter
- A JHR decision letter (desk reject or R&R) just arrived
