gcb-literature-positioning

separate

Use when positioning a Global Change Biology (GCB) manuscript in the literature so it reads as a global-change advance, not a local report. GCB readers span ecology, biogeochemistry, and Earth-system science, so the paper must engage the cross-system literatures it speaks to. Structures positioning; it does not fabricate citations.

When to use

• Writing the introduction's 'what is known / what is missing' framing
• Reconciling a finding with prior global-change studies
• Building a Research Review's coverage and argument
• Addressing reviewer feedback that framing is 'too local' or 'misses key literature'

When not to use

• Fabricating citations
