gcb-topic-selection

separate

Use when deciding whether a research idea fits Global Change Biology (GCB) and how to frame its significance. GCB wants a mechanistic link between a global-change driver and a biological response, of broad relevance across systems. Tests fit and sharpens the question; it does not generate data or guarantee acceptance.

When to use

• Deciding whether an idea belongs in GCB
• Framing global-change significance
• Framing the mechanism up front
• Choosing the article type
• Testing fit before design investment
• Sharpening the research question

When not to use

• Generating data
• Guaranteeing acceptance
• Conservation-management or policy plans
• Taxonomy or systematics pieces
• Pure-methods pieces without global-change motivation
