What it does

Jmgmt Literature Positioning is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when the contribution-relative-to-prior-work is the bottleneck for a Journal of Management (JOM) manuscript — staking the gap against the right conversation and against sibling journals (AMJ, SMJ, JMS, Org Science). Positions the paper; it does not build the theory (jmgmt-theory-development) or write the discussion (jmgmt-contribution-framing).

Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Marketing & SEO, covering Positioning and messaging. The repository describes itself as: Journal-specific Claude Code/Codex skill packs covering mainstream journals — AER, QJE, Nature, Cell, 管理世界, 经济研究 & 200+ more — your fast track to getting published. | 覆盖主流期刊的… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Positioning and messaging

Example prompts

  • “/jmgmt-literature-positioning”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 932eb23. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Jmgmt Literature Positioning loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 95 tokens; SKILL.md has 816 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~95
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.7k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Use when the contribution-relative-to-prior-work is the bottleneck for a Journal of Management (JOM) manuscript — staking the gap against the right conversation and against sibling journals (AMJ, SMJ, JMS, Org Science). Positions the paper; it does not build the theory (jmgmt-theory-development) or write the discussion (jmgmt-contribution-framing).

Literature Positioning (jmgmt-literature-positioning)

When to trigger

  • The intro reviews the literature but never names the gap it closes
  • A reviewer says the contribution is "incremental" or "we already knew this"
  • The paper could be read as a near-duplicate of a recent JOM/AMJ piece
  • You cite broadly but cannot say which conversation you are joining
  • For a review/meta-analysis: you cannot say why a synthesis is needed now

Positioning to the right conversation

JOM is a general-management journal, so the trap is positioning against everything and contributing to nothing. Pick the focal conversation — the specific stream (e.g., the abusive-supervision literature, the dynamic-capabilities debate, the entrepreneurial-orientation–performance relationship) — and stake the gap there. The strongest JOM intros use a problematization move: surface an assumption the literature takes for granted, show it is questionable, and position the paper as resolving the tension. A "gap-spotting" move ("no one has studied X in setting Y") is weaker and reads as incremental.

Differentiating from the siblings (in the text)

Reviewers will be drawn from JOM's neighbors and will ask "why not there?" Pre-empt it in how you frame the contribution:

SiblingWhat they ownHow to position JOM-ward
AMJAOM empirical flagship; same theory-contribution barLean on JOM's appetite for synthesis/methods breadth; if it's a review/meta-analysis, that's a JOM strength
SMJstrategy, competitive advantage, firm performanceIf the DV is firm performance only, justify the management-theory (not pure-strategy) contribution
JMS (Wiley/EU)pluralist, qualitative/critical/process-friendlyA hypothetico-deductive or meta-analytic paper fits JOM's quantitative center better
Org Sciencenovel organization theory, methodological noveltyJOM rewards a clean, well-identified test of established/extended theory

The meta-analysis / review positioning move

A JOM meta-analysis must justify its timing: enough primary studies, and an unresolved theoretical dispute the pooled evidence can settle. A review must show the literature is fragmented or contradictory enough that an integrative framework adds value. In both, position against prior reviews/meta-analyses explicitly — what did they miss, and what new theory or moderators do you add?

From positioning to contribution sentences

Convert the gap into 2–4 explicit sentences of the form: "We contribute to [focal conversation] by showing [mechanism / boundary / integration / adjudication], which changes [theory] because [reason]." These must reappear, unchanged in substance, in the discussion (jmgmt-contribution-framing).

Worked example (illustrative)

A paper on remote-work and employee proactivity could be gap-spotted ("few studies examine proactivity in remote settings") — weak, and a reviewer will read it as a setting swap. A problematized version: the literature assumes visibility drives proactive recognition, so remote work should suppress proactivity; but if proactivity is self-initiated and digitally traced, remote settings may amplify it. Now the paper resolves a tension in the conservation-of-resources/proactivity literature, travels to HR and OB at once, and the contribution sentence writes itself: "We contribute to the proactivity literature by showing that digital traceability substitutes for physical visibility, which overturns the assumption that co-location is necessary for proactive recognition." That framing earns a JOM read; the gap-spotted version invites a desk reject.

Positioning a synthesis against prior syntheses

If you are writing a meta-analysis or review, the most important citations are the prior reviews/meta-analyses in the same space. Name them, say what they covered and when, and state precisely what you add: a larger or more recent corpus, theory-mapped moderators they omitted, corrected artifacts they ignored, or a framework that reconciles their contradictions. A synthesis that does not engage its predecessors reads as redundant, however careful the coding.

Citing across subfields without losing focus

JOM's general-management identity means a paper often draws on more than one literature (e.g., an HR paper that borrows a strategy construct). The discipline is to cite into the focal conversation while showing awareness of the others — not to review three literatures in parallel. Anchor the contribution in one stream, acknowledge the adjacent ones in a sentence or two, and make the cross-subfield reach a feature of the contribution (see jmgmt-contribution-framing) rather than a reason the paper feels unfocused. Verify every citation is real and current; a missing recent JOM/AMJ paper in your exact space is the fastest way to look out of touch.

Checklist

  • One focal conversation named; the gap stated in plain language
  • The move is problematization (challenge an assumption), not bare gap-spotting
  • The "why JOM, not AMJ/SMJ/JMS/Org Science" question is pre-empted in the framing
  • Recent close cousins (esp. recent JOM/AMJ papers) are cited and differentiated
  • (Review/meta) prior reviews/meta-analyses are named and the value-add is explicit
  • 2–4 contribution sentences drafted, consistent with the planned discussion
  • Citations are real; no invented exemplars (verify DOIs)

Anti-patterns

  • Gap by absence: "no one has studied X" with no argument that X matters theoretically
  • Positioning against the whole field instead of one conversation
  • Ignoring the obvious cousin: a recent near-identical paper the reviewer will know
  • Strategy-only framing that belongs at SMJ, not JOM
  • Synthesis with no timing argument: a meta-analysis or review that never says why now
  • Contribution drift: the intro's promised gap differs from what the discussion delivers
