# Research Policy Workflow Router (respol-workflow)

## Overview

This is the router. It names **which respol-* skill to use at the current stage** of a manuscript aimed at *Research Policy* (RP) — Elsevier's flagship journal of **innovation studies** and science, technology & innovation (STI) policy. RP's center of gravity is the economics, management, and sociology of innovation: R&D and technological change, national/regional/sectoral innovation systems, science and technology policy, entrepreneurship and technology management, university-industry links, and intellectual property. It is deeply **interdisciplinary** and carries the SPRU/Freeman-Nelson-Pavitt heritage; a paper earns space by advancing innovation-studies understanding, usually with a policy or managerial implication.

Default assumption: unless the user says otherwise, treat the target as RP. Operational tells that you are at RP and not a sibling: the contribution is to **innovation theory or evidence**, not to a generic strategy or economics conversation; methods are pluralist (econometrics, **bibliometrics/patent analysis**, surveys, case studies, mixed methods) and no single technique is privileged; review is **double-blind**; the desk-screen rejects papers whose literature is "almost entirely economics or management journals" as out of scope (检索于 2026-06;以官网为准). Article types include full articles (~8,000–10,000 words incl. notes/refs/tables) and shorter Research Notes (~3,000–5,000 words) — verify on the guide for authors.

## When to trigger

- The user asks "what should I do next?" on an RP-bound manuscript
- A draft's current bottleneck is unclear and needs diagnosis
- Work is ping-ponging between framing, theory, design, evidence, exhibits, and the response letter
- An RP decision letter arrived and the user must switch into revision mode
