fcr-literature-positioning

separate

Use when positioning a Field Crops Research (FCR) manuscript against the agronomy and crop-science literature so it reads as a general contribution to field-crop science, not a local report. FCR requires new scientific insight of general relevance and rejects corroborative or merely descriptive work, so the literature must establish the gap and the agronomic stakes. Stakes the contribution; it does not write the lit review.

When to use

• Drafting or revising the introduction
• Revising the objectives or contribution paragraph
• Addressing reviewer comments on local relevance
• Connecting local results to broader field-crop literature
• Distinguishing contribution from closest prior agronomy papers
• Converting local framing to general mechanism-anchored claims

When not to use

• Writing the full literature review
• Experimental design
• Corroborative or merely descriptive work
