jpsp-literature-positioning

separate

Use when positioning a Journal of Personality and Social Psychology (JPSP) manuscript against the literatures its section's readers expect, building the long-format introduction and literature review that precede the multi-study package. Sharpens the gap and contribution; it does not write the literature review for you.

When to use

• Drafting or restructuring the introduction / literature review
• Addressing reviewer feedback that contribution is incremental
• Reconciling competing findings
• Building a three-column map of incumbent conversation, tension, and delta
• Returning a ledger of claim, evidence, risk, and location
• Comparing against sibling venues for fit

When not to use

• Writing the literature review for you
• Providing submission-ready advice before checking official source map
• Polishing format if a sibling venue owns the contribution
