# Literature Positioning (jmcb-literature-positioning) ## When to trigger - The contribution paragraph reads as "we add bank-level data to a known result" without a sharp delta - A referee or coauthor cannot tell what JMCB readers learn that they did not already know - The paper sits between two literatures (e.g., monetary transmission and banking) and cites neither's frontier well - You are unsure whether the closest prior work is at JMCB, JME, AEJ:Macro, RED, or JBF ## The JMCB positioning bar JMCB referees are monetary/banking specialists who know the canonical mechanisms cold — the bank lending channel (Bernanke–Blinder, Kashyap–Stein), the financial accelerator (Bernanke–Gertler–Gilchrist), high-frequency monetary identification (Kuttner; Gertler–Karadi; Nakamura–Steinsson), the deposits channel (Drechsler–Savov–Schnabl), and the information effect (Jarociński–Karadi). Positioning here is not a literature dump; it is a **precise statement of which mechanism you sharpen, overturn, or measure**, and why a money/credit/banking audience should care. The contribution must survive the question "what would the field believe differently after reading this?" This bar is sharper than at

What does the jmcb-literature-positioning skill do?

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