A comprehensive framework for evaluating preliminary economic research ideas against the standards of top-tier journals, such as The Economic Journal (EJ). This tool helps researchers determine if their findings possess broad intellectual appeal, substantial contribution, and a clear economic mechanism, guiding decisions on scope, format (full-length vs. short-paper), and appropriate academic outlet. It is crucial for moving beyond niche results toward widely impactful scholarship.
