Use when the contribution of a Journal of the European Economic Association (JEEA) manuscript relative to the frontier is fuzzy, oversold, or undersold. Stakes the marginal contribution for a general-interest readership; it does not fix identification, the model, or prose.

# Literature Positioning (jeea-literature-positioning) ## When to trigger - The "we are the first to…" claim is fragile or unverifiable - A referee could name three close papers you have not distinguished from - The contribution paragraph lists what you do, not what is *new* - The paper reads as incremental relative to an obvious recent reference ## The JEEA positioning bar JEEA is a **general-interest** journal, so positioning must convince a broad reader — not just subfield specialists — that the **marginal contribution** is real and consequential. Two failure modes are fatal here: (1) the contribution is genuine but framed for insiders, so a general-interest co-editor cannot see it; (2) the contribution is overstated relative to a close paper a referee will instantly recall. Position against the **frontier**, name the closest 2–3 papers explicitly, and state in one sentence what your paper establishes that none of them does. ## Positioning moves - **Locate the frontier, not a strawman.** Cite the strongest, most recent work on the question; positioning against a dated or weak paper invites a desk objection. - **Name the delta.** Finish the sentence "Relative to [closest paper],

What does the jeea-literature-positioning skill do?

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill jeea-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 909 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.
