jaar-scholarly-positioning

separate

Use when positioning a Journal of the American Academy of Religion (JAAR) article in the scholarly conversation so it reads as a contribution to the study of religion broadly, not a footnote to one subfield. Stakes the intervention across traditions and methods; it does not write the literature review.

When to use

• Drafting or revising the introduction and the stakes
• Showing why the problem matters across the study of religion
• Distinguishing your intervention from the closest prior scholarship
• Positioning a JAAR article in the scholarly conversation
• Staking the intervention across traditions and methods

When not to use

• Writing the literature review
