Use when judging whether a clinical study clears JAMA's general-medical-importance bar before investing in a full submission. Assesses fit and article-type match; it does NOT design the study or write the paper.

# Scope & Importance Fit (jama-scope-fit)
## When to trigger
- Before committing weeks to formatting a manuscript for JAMA
- The finding feels solid but you suspect it is too narrow / subspecialty
- Choosing between JAMA, a JAMA Network specialty journal, and a field journal
- An editor or mentor asked "is this really a general-medicine paper?"
## The general-medical-importance test
JAMA serves a broad clinician readership across all of medicine. Ask, in order:
1. **Does it change what a practicing clinician thinks or does?** A result that only matters to a single subspecialty lab rarely fits; a result that informs everyday diagnosis, treatment, or prevention does.
