jms-literature-positioning
Use when positioning the contribution against the literature for a Journal of Management Studies (JMS) manuscript — locating the paper in a named theoretical conversation and showing what it adds. Stakes the contribution; it does not build the mechanism (jms-theory-development) or write the closing contribution paragraph (jms-contribution-framing).

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Literature Positioning (jms-literature-positioning) ## When to trigger - The literature review is a "camel train" — a chronological parade of citations with no argument - A reviewer says "I don't see what this adds" or "this conversation has moved on" - The paper cites broadly but never names the *specific* conversation it advances - Reviewers from two sub-fields disagree about which literature the paper belongs to - The framing oversells ("we are the first") or undersells (buries the contribution in a sub-clause) ## The JMS positioning bar At JMS, positioning is not a literature survey — it is an **argument about where the conversation is stuck and how your paper unsticks it**. Because JMS is pluralist and internationally oriented, you must position against the *theoretical* conversation (e.g., institutional logics, dynamic capabilities, entrepreneurial ecosystems, paradox theory), not merely the empirical topic. The strongest JMS contributions do one of a few recognisable moves; name yours explicitly. ## Contribution archetypes — name your move | Move | What it looks like | Risk JMS reviewers flag | |------|--------------------|-------------------------| | **Extend** | Push a t

What does the jms-literature-positioning skill do?
Use when positioning the contribution against the literature for a Journal of Management Studies (JMS) manuscript — locating the paper in a named theoretical conversation and showing what it adds. Stakes the contribution; it does not build the mechanism (jms-theory-development) or write the closing contribution paragraph (jms-contribution-framing).
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill jms-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.
