epsl-literature-positioning

separate

Use when positioning an Earth and Planetary Science Letters (EPSL) manuscript against prior work. EPSL's readership spans geochemistry, geophysics, geodynamics, geochronology and planetary science, so the knowledge gap must be framed across sub-fields and against the frontier, not inside one method community. It frames the gap and citations; it does not fabricate references.

When to use

• Writing the introduction's 'what is known / what is missing' arc
• Addressing reviewer comments about unawareness of adjacent constraints
• Checking whether the claimed gap is already closed in adjacent literature
• Preparing an invited Frontiers Paper that maps an entire frontier
• Building cross-disciplinary gap statements for EPSL

When not to use

• Fabricating references
