soctheory-literature-positioning

separate

Use when locating a Sociological Theory (ST) manuscript in a tradition and conversation — naming whose theory you extend, challenge, or synthesize, and avoiding sibling-journal misattribution. Positions the argument; it does NOT build the concepts (soctheory-theory-construction) or frame the novelty (soctheory-contribution-framing).

When to use

• locating a manuscript in a tradition
• naming whose theory is extended, challenged, or synthesized
• avoiding sibling-journal misattribution
• identifying live conversations in sociological theory
• verifying paper venues

When not to use

• building the concepts
• framing the novelty
