separate

Use when building the conceptual contribution of an Annals of the American Association of Geographers manuscript — turning a finding into a geographic argument grounded in geographic theory (place, scale, space-time, environment-society, spatial process). Sharpens the argument; it does not run analyses.

When to use

• Building conceptual contribution
• Turning findings into geographic arguments
• Grounding arguments in geographic theory
• Sharpening geographic arguments
• Deciding which geographic concept the argument advances
• Addressing reviews that papers are descriptive or atheoretical

When not to use

• Running analyses
