respol-topic-selection

separate

Use when scoping or sanity-checking the research question for a Research Policy (RP) manuscript — deciding whether it is a genuine innovation-studies question RP owns versus an economics/strategy paper that will desk-reject as out of scope. Frames the question; it does not build the theory (respol-theory-development) or stake the gap (respol-literature-positioning).

When to use

• scoping research questions for Research Policy
• sanity-checking innovation-studies questions
• determining if a question belongs in RP vs economics/management
• framing questions with an innovation-systems lens
• identifying STI-policy or innovation-theory payoffs
• checking literature base for RP/innovation-studies anchors

When not to use

• building the theory
• staking the gap
• respol-theory-development
• respol-literature-positioning
