jbv-literature-positioning
Use when positioning a Journal of Business Venturing (JBV) manuscript in the entrepreneurship literature — joining a live conversation, problematizing assumptions instead of gap-spotting, and engaging across economics, psychology, and sociology. Positions the paper; it does not derive the mechanism (jbv-theory-development) or state the contribution claim (jbv-contribution-framing).

# Literature Positioning (jbv-literature-positioning) ## When to trigger - Your introduction reads as "X is understudied in entrepreneurship" (gap-spotting) - Reviewers say you "ignore the canonical entrepreneurship conversation" - You cite only one discipline when the phenomenon spans several - You are unsure which scholarly conversation your paper actually joins ## Join a conversation, do not spot a gap At an FT50 entrepreneurship flagship, "no one has studied this" is a weak motivation. Instead: - **Problematize**: surface and challenge an assumption the entrepreneurship field takes for granted (e.g., that opportunities are discovered vs. created, that VC signals quality, that more resources always help nascent ventures). Problematization beats gap-filling. - **Name the conversation**: state precisely which entrepreneurship debate you enter — opportunity discovery vs. creation, effectuation vs. causation, the role of failure and learning, financing signals, ecosystem effects — and what you add or overturn. - **Engage multidisciplinarily**: JBV is grounded in economics, psychology, and sociology. If your phenomenon spans lenses, cite across them; positioning only within one disci

What does the jbv-literature-positioning skill do?

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill jbv-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.
