jfm-literature-positioning
Use when positioning a Journal of Financial Markets (JFM) manuscript against the microstructure frontier and its broad-finance siblings — staking a contribution the markets-literature insiders will recognize. Positions; it does not invent evidence or citations.

# Literature Positioning (jfm-literature-positioning)
## When to trigger
- The contribution sentence is generic ("we study liquidity and X") and a microstructure reader cannot tell what is new
- You are not sure whether the closest prior work is in JFM, JF, JFE, RFS, JFQA, or the Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis microstructure issues
- A referee wrote "this is incremental to [known microstructure paper]" or "the canonical citation is missing"
- The theory lineage (Kyle 1985, Glosten-Milgrom 1985, Easley-O'Hara, Amihud-Mendelson) is not anchored
- The paper risks being read as a worse version of a broad-finance result rather than a sharper microstructure one
## Positioning JFM against the broad-finance siblings
JFM referees are specialists; they reward a contribution stated in **microstructure terms** and punish positioning that treats the paper as general finance. The differentiation is not "lower-ranked version of JF" — it is "deeper on market mechanics than JF/RFS would publish."
