separate

When to use

• writing or proposing a survey/review for JEL
• deciding if a field-defining synthesis fits JEL
• framing a synthesis/agenda-setting review
• checking JEL proposal route and desk-reject risks
• evaluating fit for comprehensive authoritative surveys
• assessing review essays on influential books or bodies of work
• evaluating methodological or conceptual syntheses

When not to use

• original empirical estimation
• new model development
• narrow papers
• accessible non-technical symposium pieces
• original empirical or theoretical contributions
• field-specific surveys better placed in field outlets
• methods-focused reviews for methods venues
