# JEL Workflow Router (jel-workflow)
## Overview
This is the router. It tells you **which jel-* skill to use at the current stage** of a **survey or review article** aimed at the *Journal of Economic Literature* (JEL) — the **American Economic Association's** survey-of-record journal (founded 1969). JEL does **not** publish original empirical research. It publishes commissioned and peer-reviewed **syntheses of bodies of economic research**, book reviews, and maintains the **JEL classification system**. So the lifecycle is not "design → identify → estimate → defend"; it is **scope a synthesis-worthy field → propose it → read the whole literature → impose an organizing framework → synthesize comprehensively and even-handedly → land the JEL voice → submit and revise.**
Default assumption: unless the user says otherwise, treat the target as JEL and the artefact as a **survey**, not a primary-research paper. Operational tells that you are at JEL and not a sibling: the work **reviews other people's results** rather than reporting your own; the natural first step is a **~10-page proposal emailed to the editor** before a full draft (检索于 2026-06；以官网为准); there is **no identification strategy and no replication package of your own data** (you instead appraise the studies you cover); the contribution is an **analytical map of a field**, not a new estimate. If the user actually has original results, they want a primary-research journal (e.g. AER, QE), not JEL — say so.
## When to trigger
- The user asks "what should I do next?" on a survey/review
- A survey draft reads like an annotated bibliography and needs a spine
- Work is ping-ponging between coverage, framing, balance, and the proposal
- A JEL editor/referee letter arrived and the user needs to switch into revision mode
