arsoc-organizing-framework

separate

Use when imposing an analytical structure or taxonomy on a sociology literature for an Annual Review of Sociology (ARSoc) review — the "spine" that turns a reading list into an argument about the subfield. Designs the framework; it does not gather the literature (arsoc-literature-synthesis) or judge balance (arsoc-comprehensiveness-and-balance).

When to use

• imposing an analytical structure on sociology literature
• designing a taxonomy for an ARSoc review
• creating a unifying mechanism or sequence of questions
• turning a reading list into an argument about the subfield
• defining the review's spine

When not to use

• gathering the literature
• judging balance
• arsoc-literature-synthesis
• arsoc-comprehensiveness-and-balance
