jep-topic-selection
Use when deciding whether a topic is right for the Journal of Economic Perspectives (JEP) — broadly interesting, timely, and synthesizable for non-specialists — rather than a narrow research contribution. Judges venue fit; it does not draft the article or the proposal.

# Topic Selection for JEP (jep-topic-selection)
## When to trigger
- You have an idea and are unsure it belongs in JEP versus a research journal or JEL
- A topic feels important to you but you cannot say why a non-specialist economist should care
- The "article" is really a single new result looking for a home
- You want to gauge whether a cluster of topics could anchor a symposium
## The JEP fit bar
JEP publishes **accessible synthesis for a broad audience of economists**, readable by **90 percent or more of the AEA membership** (检索于 2026-06；以官网为准). A JEP topic is judged on four axes — a topic must clear all four, not just one.
| Axis | Pass | Fail |
