jfqa-literature-positioning

separate

Use when positioning a Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis (JFQA) manuscript against the finance frontier — corporate finance, investments, asset pricing, market microstructure, and financial institutions. Use to stake a precise contribution against the relevant literature without a standalone survey, so the paper reads as new to a quantitative-finance audience.

When to use

• Positioning JFQA manuscripts against finance literature
• Corporate finance, investments, asset pricing, market microstructure, and financial institutions
• Writing tight positioning paragraphs
• Delineating from near-neighbor papers
• Tying contributions to JFQA's quantitative ethos
• Calibrating reference lists for JFQA submissions
• Addressing referee complaints regarding novelty and literature review

When not to use

• Standalone literature-review chapters
• Chronological surveys that bury the contribution
• Positioning as 'interesting' rather than as a quantitative advance
• Claiming 'first to study X' without defense
