jmf-literature-positioning
Use when positioning a Journal of Marriage and Family (JMF) manuscript against the literature so it reads as a family-science contribution. JMF readers span sociology, psychology, demography, and family studies, so the paper must engage the family literatures they expect across disciplines. Stakes the contribution; it does not write the literature review.

# Literature Positioning (jmf-literature-positioning)
JMF is interdisciplinary, so a paper that engages only one discipline's family literature reads as
under-positioned. The goal is to place the work where a **family-science** audience — demographers,
family sociologists, relationship and developmental psychologists — can see the gap and the move.
## When to trigger
- Drafting or revising the introduction and the "contribution" paragraph
- A reviewer said you "missed obvious family-science work" or "don't engage the debate"
- Your home-discipline literature is solid but the paper doesn't connect across family science
- You need to distinguish your contribution from the closest prior family studies
## How JMF wants the literature engaged
