What it does

Respol Literature Positioning is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when staking the contribution against the innovation-studies literature for a Research Policy (RP) manuscript — anchoring in the RP/SPRU canon and showing a genuine gap rather than an incremental replication. Positions the paper; it does not build the mechanism (respol-theory-development) or write the closing claim (respol-contribution-framing).

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k 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

  • “/respol-literature-positioning”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Anchor in the RP canon. Identify 3–6 RP / innovation-studies works your paper directly extends or contradicts, and engage their arguments…
  2. Name the prevailing belief. State the current consensus or dominant assumption in that conversation in one sentence.
  3. State the gap as tension. Show why the consensus is incomplete, contradicted, or untested for the conditions you study — ideally a tension…
  4. Place the contribution. Say precisely what changes: a new mechanism, a boundary on a known one, contradicting evidence, or a measurement…
  5. Triage adjacent fields. Cite economics/strategy where it earns its place, but keep the innovation-studies literature in the foreground so…

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

Respol Literature Positioning loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 95 tokens; SKILL.md has 555 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
~1.2k

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.

Safety

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 staking the contribution against the innovation-studies literature for a Research Policy (RP) manuscript — anchoring in the RP/SPRU canon and showing a genuine gap rather than an incremental replication. Positions the paper; it does not build the mechanism (respol-theory-development) or write the closing claim (respol-contribution-framing).

Literature Positioning (respol-literature-positioning)

When to trigger

  • The reference list is "almost entirely economics or management journals" — the RP out-of-scope tell
  • A referee says the contribution is "incremental," "we already know this," or "not positioned in the right literature"
  • The paper cites RP exemplars superficially but does not engage their arguments
  • You cannot name in one sentence what RP readers believed before your paper and what they should believe after
  • The gap is stated as "no one has studied X in country Y" (a data gap, not a knowledge gap)

The Research Policy positioning bar

RP referees are innovation-studies insiders. They expect the paper to be rooted in the innovation-studies conversation — RP itself, plus the foundational lineage (Freeman, Nelson & Winter, Pavitt, Dosi, Cohen & Levinthal, Lundvall, Malerba, and the journals around RP: ICC, Technovation, JPIM where genuinely relevant). A reference base drawn only from economics or strategy journals signals the wrong audience and is a documented desk-reject trigger (检索于 2026-06;以官网为准). Positioning is not a citation dump: it is an argument that there is a knowledge gap in how innovation works or is governed, and that this paper closes it.

The gap must be a knowledge gap, not a data gap. "First study of region Z" is rarely enough; "the dominant view assumes X, but mechanism Y implies the opposite, and we show which holds" is RP-grade.

Positioning moves

  1. Anchor in the RP canon. Identify 3–6 RP / innovation-studies works your paper directly extends or contradicts, and engage their arguments, not just their existence.
  2. Name the prevailing belief. State the current consensus or dominant assumption in that conversation in one sentence.
  3. State the gap as tension. Show why the consensus is incomplete, contradicted, or untested for the conditions you study — ideally a tension between two innovation-studies positions your paper resolves.
  4. Place the contribution. Say precisely what changes: a new mechanism, a boundary on a known one, contradicting evidence, or a measurement that resolves a debate.
  5. Triage adjacent fields. Cite economics/strategy where it earns its place, but keep the innovation-studies literature in the foreground so the paper reads as RP.

Distinguishing the contribution from siblings

Sibling literatureHow RP positioning differs
Strategy (SMJ)Frame around innovation/technology mechanisms and systems, not firm competitive advantage
Industrial and Corporate ChangeForeground innovation/STI policy and knowledge production, not industrial-dynamics/capabilities theory per se
Technovation / JPIMMake a research contribution to innovation theory/evidence, not a managerial how-to or NPD-process study
Economics of innovation field journalsLead with the innovation-studies and policy implication, not the pure econometric contribution

Checklist

  • 3–6 RP/innovation-studies anchors are engaged by argument, not just cited
  • The prevailing belief is stated in one sentence before the gap
  • The gap is a knowledge gap (a tension), not a data/geography gap
  • What readers should believe differently after the paper is explicit
  • Economics/strategy citations are present where earned but not dominant
  • The contribution is distinguished from SMJ / ICC / Technovation / JPIM framings
  • Process/source facts cited are verified or marked 待核实

Anti-patterns

  • A literature base with no RP/innovation-studies anchors (out-of-scope risk)
  • "No one has studied this in country/sector X" presented as the contribution (data gap)
  • Citing RP exemplars without engaging their actual claims
  • A laundry-list review that never states the prevailing belief or the tension
  • Letting the strategy or econometrics literature crowd out innovation studies
  • Inventing exemplar papers or mis-attributing canonical arguments
