jcf-topic-selection
Use when judging whether a corporate-finance question fits the Journal of Corporate Finance (JCF) and whether it suits a full-length or "shorter format" paper. Helps scope the idea to JCF's empirical/theoretical corporate-finance remit; it does not run analysis or draft text.

# Topic Selection (jcf-topic-selection)
## When to trigger
- Deciding if a question belongs at JCF versus a general finance or accounting outlet
- Choosing between a **full-length original manuscript** and a **shorter format paper**
- Stress-testing a topic against JCF's active desk-rejection screen
## Scope fit (verified; re-confirm on the official guide)
JCF (Elsevier) publishes **empirical and theoretical corporate finance**. In-scope themes include:
- **Financial structure** (capital structure, debt design, leverage dynamics)
- **Governance** (boards, ownership, monitoring, control)
