bjps-topic-selection

separate

Use when deciding whether a political-science project fits the British Journal of Political Science (BJPS) and which of its three formats to target. BJPS is a broad, internationally-oriented general journal, so the test is wide interest across subfields and beyond one national case, not subfield novelty alone. Helps frame the question; it does not collect data.

When to use

• Choosing among possible projects or framings for a BJPS submission
• Addressing feedback that a paper feels too narrow or single-country
• Deciding between a Research Article and a Letter
• Considering a Comment on a published BJPS piece
• Pressure-testing fit before investing in a project

When not to use

• Collecting data
