# Topic Selection (etp-topic-selection) ## When to trigger - You have a result or a dataset but the *question* it answers is not obviously about entrepreneurship - You are unsure whether ETP, JBV, SEJ, or AMJ is the right outlet for this question - A coauthor asks "is this an ETP paper or a generic management/strategy paper?" - The phenomenon is interesting but you cannot say which entrepreneurship conversation it joins ## What makes a question an ETP question ETP is the **theory-and-practice flagship** of entrepreneurship (SAGE for Baylor; official journal of USASBE). A topic clears the ETP bar when it is **about the distinctively entrepreneurial** — the creation of new economic activity under uncertainty — *and* it promises to **move a theory conversation** while saying something a practitioner (founder, investor, family-firm owner, policymaker, educator) could act on.

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill etp-topic-selection --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills, a repository with 984 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
