hrm-literature-positioning
Use when staking the contribution of a Human Resource Management (Wiley "HRM") manuscript against the right conversation — and against the siblings it is confused with (HRMJ, Personnel Psychology, JAP, AMJ). Positions the paper; it does not sharpen the one-line claim (hrm-contribution-framing).

# Literature Positioning (hrm-literature-positioning) ## When to trigger - The intro reviews "everything on the topic" instead of the specific HRM conversation the paper joins - A reviewer asks "what do we now know that we didn't?" and the answer is fuzzy - The paper could plausibly be read as a Personnel Psychology, JAP, or HRMJ paper - You are citing the dependent-variable literature but not the HR-practice literature (or vice versa) - The contribution is "first study in [country/sector]" with no theoretical or systemic advance ## Position against the conversation, not the topic HRM contributions are judged relative to a **specific scholarly conversation** — e.g., the HR–performance black box, HR-system strength and climate, the implementation gap, line-manager enactment, talent differentiation, HR and well-being, HR analytics. Identify the **2–4 anchor works** that own your conversation and state precisely how your paper **extends, qualifies, reconciles, or overturns** them. Vague positioning ("little is known about X in Y") is a desk-screen risk because the EIC gates on fit and contribution before review. ## The sibling map (this is where HRM papers get mis-positioned) | Journa

What does the hrm-literature-positioning skill do?
Use when staking the contribution of a Human Resource Management (Wiley "HRM") manuscript against the right conversation — and against the siblings it is confused with (HRMJ, Personnel Psychology, JAP, AMJ). Positions the paper; it does not sharpen the one-line claim (hrm-contribution-framing).
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill hrm-literature-positioning --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.
