This guide outlines a systematic methodology for gathering, reading, and synthesizing large bodies of academic research for comprehensive economic surveys (JEL style). It moves beyond simple summarization by enforcing structured data collection into a detailed evidence matrix. The process ensures maximum coverage through advanced search techniques (e.g., snowballing, JEL code sweeps) and focuses on synthesizing connections, identifying consensus, and articulating scholarly tensions across different studies.

This tool provides a comprehensive pre-submission checklist designed for authors submitting survey papers (either a proposal or a full draft) to the Journal of Economic Literature (JEL) via the AEA portal. It ensures compliance by verifying JEL codes, disclosure statements, data availability, and adherence to style guides, helping authors finalize their submission package.
