# Literature Positioning (rof-literature-positioning) ## When to trigger - The related-work section reads as a survey, not a staking of position - You are unsure you have found the closest prior finance papers - A referee could say "this is already in [paper X]" - Citations skew to one's own subfield and miss the general-finance frame ## The RoF citation norm (strict) RoF enforces a **strong author-responsibility citation norm**: authors **must search for and cite relevant work**, and **not being aware** of a paper that should reasonably have been found is **not a valid defense** — omissions **can be sanctioned**. Combined with the **top-three-finance-journal standard**, positioning must be (a) complete with respect to the closest work and (b) framed for a **general finance** audience. Because RoF spans **empirical and theoretical** finance, place the paper relative to both the evidence and the mechanism it speaks to. ## Positioning moves 1. **Map the frontier** — identify the 3–6 closest papers (often top-three finance) and state, for each, what they do and where they stop. 2. **Stake the delta** — one clause per close paper: "X shows A; we show B." No vague "we complement." 3. **

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