aerj-literature-positioning

separate

Use when positioning an American Educational Research Journal (AERJ) manuscript in the literature. AERJ readers span the whole field, so the paper must engage the literatures a general education-research audience expects and speak past its own subfield. Builds the positioning argument; it does not write the literature review for you.

When to use

• Drafting or revising the literature/background section
• Establishing the gap the study fills
• Reconciling literatures across subfields or methods
• Positioning an AERJ manuscript in the literature
• Engaging field-defining and lens-relevant work
• Crossing subfields deliberately
• Setting up the framework hand-off

When not to use

• Writing the literature review for you
