• choosing between The Journal of Religion and comparative-historical or textual venues
• checking the journal's argument bar and desk-reject heuristics
• assessing scope for religious ethics, history of religions, or religion and culture
• reviewing method and evidence requirements for original arguments
• checking structure and house style including Chicago notes-and-bibliography
• verifying official submission checklist items and anonymization

When not to use

• devotional, pastoral, or in-house confessional writing with no scholarly argument
• replacing the journal's current submission guidelines
• tasks centered on the comparative and historical-morphological method
• tasks with a textual, biblical, and early-Christian emphasis
