socs-fit-positioning

separate

Use to judge whether a manuscript fits 《社会学研究》 (Sociological Studies) — distinguishing a genuine sociological problematic from an economics-style policy-evaluation paper, and re-routing the latter to economics or cross-disciplinary journals. Use first, before drafting, when discipline fit is uncertain.

When to use

• judging manuscript fit for 《社会学研究》
• distinguishing sociological problematic from policy evaluation
• checking if data narrative is economics-style
• confirming discipline fit before submission
• identifying 'borderline but not fitting' rejection patterns
• applying the 'delete policy' test
• routing manuscripts to appropriate journals

When not to use

• drafting the manuscript
• conducting empirical analysis
• writing for 《中国社会科学》
• writing for economic journals
