phg-topic-selection

separate

Use when deciding whether a topic is review-worthy for Progress in Human Geography (PiHG) — a large, live, contested literature with real disciplinary stakes, not a gap-filling empirical study. Tests fit and scope; it does not build the argument or gather sources.

When to use

• Choosing what to review
• Narrowing a broad interest into an essay
• Assessing if a literature is big and live enough
• Deciding between a review article or a scoped Progress Report

When not to use

• Building the argument
• Gathering sources
• Empirical studies
• Settled or consensus topics
