Individual skill
jim-topic-selection
Use when choosing or auditing a research question for a Journal of International Marketing (JIM) manuscript — testing whether the international dimension is the theoretical core and whether JIM beats sibling outlets. It vets the question; jim-theory-development builds the mechanism.

# Topic Selection (jim-topic-selection)
## When to trigger
- An idea exists but nobody has tested whether it is *internationally* interesting or merely set abroad
- The dataset covers several countries and the temptation is to let the data pick the question
- A domestic finding is being considered for "extension" to new markets
- The team cannot decide among JIM, JIBS, IMR, JWB, and Journal of Marketing
## The JIM gate: the border must do theoretical work
JIM's editorial identity is built around one test. Ask it before anything else:
> **If this study were run inside a single country, would the research question still make sense?**
