phg-argument-synthesis

separate

Use when turning a mapped literature into one cumulative argument for a Progress in Human Geography (PiHG) review essay — synthesizing many sources into a claim the field could not see from any one of them. Builds the synthetic spine; it does not gather sources (see phg-literature-positioning) or make the critical turn (see phg-critical-intervention).

When to use

• building the synthetic spine
• turning mapped literature into a cumulative claim
• organizing sections by sub-claims
• making sources talk to each other
• handling disconfirming work
• reconciling, periodizing, or adjudicating literature

When not to use

• gathering sources
• making the critical turn
• annotated bibliography structure
• summary organized by source
