# Literature Positioning (rof-literature-positioning)
## When to trigger
- The related-work section reads as a survey, not a staking of position
- You are unsure you have found the closest prior finance papers
- A referee could say "this is already in [paper X]"
- Citations skew to one's own subfield and miss the general-finance frame
## The RoF citation norm (strict)
RoF enforces a **strong author-responsibility citation norm**: authors **must search for and cite relevant work**, and **not being aware** of a paper that should reasonably have been found is **not a valid defense** — omissions **can be sanctioned**. Combined with the **top-three-finance-journal standard**, positioning must be (a) complete with respect to the closest work and (b) framed for a **general finance** audience. Because RoF spans **empirical and theoretical** finance, place the paper relative to both the evidence and the mechanism it speaks to.
