Use when deciding whether a chemistry result belongs in the Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS) versus a specialized ACS journal, and which JACS format fits. Judges fit and venue — it does not improve the chemistry itself.

# Scope and Venue Fit (jacs-scope-fit)
## When to trigger
- You are unsure JACS is the right home versus a subfield ACS journal
- A co-author says "this is JACS-level" and you want a sober test
- An editor desk-rejected a prior version for "insufficient general interest"
- You must choose Article vs Communication early
## The JACS bar (broad interest + rigor)
JACS publishes a **significant chemical advance of broad interest across
chemistry**, fully supported by data. Two tests must both pass:
