Use when positioning a Journal of Operations Management (JOM) manuscript within the operations and supply chain management conversation — joining a live OM/SCM debate, distinguishing the paper from analytical OM work, and aligning the framing with the target Department's mission.

# Literature Positioning for JOM (jom-literature-positioning) ## When to trigger - Your introduction lists prior studies instead of joining a debate - A reviewer says "what conversation is this paper in?" or "how is this different from existing OM work?" - Your citations skew toward analytical/optimization OM but your study is empirical (or vice versa) - You are unsure which OM/SCM literature the chosen Department expects you to engage ## Join an OM/SCM conversation, don't spot a gap A bare "no one has studied X" is weak. Position the paper as a contribution to an ongoing **operations and supply chain management** conversation: what does the field currently believe about this operational phenomenon, what tension or anomaly does your evidence expose, and how does resolving it move the OM conversation forward? Problematize a shared assumption (e.g., that more buffering always helps, that lean and resilience trade off cleanly, that automation uniformly reduces errors) rather than merely noting an empty cell. ## Distinguish from analytical OM explicitly Because JOM does **not** publish purely analytical models or optimization techniques, your positioning should make clear that the cont

What does the jom-literature-positioning skill do?
Use when positioning a Journal of Operations Management (JOM) manuscript within the operations and supply chain management conversation — joining a live OM/SCM debate, distinguishing the paper from analytical OM work, and aligning the framing with the target Department's mission.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill jom-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.
