Use when deciding which jep-* sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing work on an accessible synthesis article from topic idea through editor revision for a Journal of Economic Perspectives (JEP) submission. Routes — it does not replace — the specialized skills.

# JEP Workflow Router (jep-workflow)

## Overview

This is the router. It tells you **which jep-* skill to use at the current stage** of an article aimed at the *Journal of Economic Perspectives* (JEP) — the **open-access, non-technical synthesis** journal of the **American Economic Association**, founded 1987. JEP is **not** a primary-research outlet. It rewards articles that **synthesize and communicate** a body of economics to a broad audience — readable by **90 percent or more of the AEA membership** — avoiding formal models and heavy econometrics in the body. The product is a **compelling, accessible, balanced essay**, not an identification strategy or a replication package.

Default assumption: unless the user says otherwise, treat the target as JEP. Operational tells that you are at JEP and not a research journal or its sibling *Journal of Economic Literature* (JEL): JEP is **largely invited / commissioned** and organized in **symposia**; almost all articles begin as a **2–5 page proposal** emailed to **jep@aeapubs.org** (about 10–15% of published articles originate as unsolicited proposals); the writing must be legible to non-specialists; there are recurring **features** ("Recommendations for Further Reading", retrospectives). Editor as of 2026: **Heidi Williams**; Managing Editor **Timothy Taylor** (检索于 2026-06；以官网为准). Re-verify volatile specifics on the official AEA pages.

## When to trigger

- The user asks "what should I do next?" on a JEP article or proposal
- A draft reads like a research paper or a JEL survey, not a JEP essay
- Work is ping-ponging between idea, proposal, narrative, accessibility, and balance
- A JEP editor's letter arrived and the user needs to switch into revision mode
