Numerical & Computational Content (jet-data-analysis)

When to trigger

• Your theory paper includes a worked numerical example, a simulation, a computed equilibrium, or (rarely) empirical/experimental evidence
• You want to know how much computational content JET will accept and how to present it
• You need to keep a computation from overshadowing the theorem

The JET rule: theory-first, computation subordinate

JET publishes rigorous, original theoretical results. Empirical, experimental, quantitative, and computational work is welcome only when firmly grounded in theory — i.e., as the illustration or test of a theoretical contribution that is itself the paper's point, never as a stand-alone empirical or computational paper. This skill is deliberately light: most JET papers are pure theory, so the default is minimal numerical content.
