Individual skill

gec-literature-positioning

Use when positioning a Global Environmental Change (GEC) manuscript against the relevant literatures. GEC is interdisciplinary, so the paper must engage more than one body of work — environmental social science, governance, the relevant domain literature — and speak across them. Shapes the framing and citations; it does not write the literature review.

# Literature Positioning (gec-literature-positioning)

GEC is **interdisciplinary**. A submission that engages only one literature (only climate science, or
only one governance debate) reads as off-fit. This skill helps you locate the paper at the
**intersection of the literatures GEC readers expect** and define the gap your contribution fills.

## When to trigger

- Drafting or revising the introduction and the "gap" the paper fills
- A reviewer said the framing "misses a key literature" or is "too disciplinary"
- Reconciling a domain literature (e.g., land-use science) with a social-science literature (e.g., governance)
- Choosing which debates to foreground for a broad, policy-relevant audience
