poq-literature-positioning
Use when positioning a Public Opinion Quarterly (POQ) manuscript against the literature so it reads as a contribution to public-opinion or survey-methodology scholarship. POQ readers span opinion theory, communication, political behavior, and survey methods, so the paper must engage the right literatures and show the methodological lineage. Stakes the contribution; it does not write the lit review.

# Literature Positioning (poq-literature-positioning)
POQ sits at the intersection of **public-opinion theory, communication, political behavior, and survey
methodology**. Positioning means showing reviewers — who are often survey scientists — that you know
both the substantive debate and the **methodological lineage** your design belongs to. The goal is to
place the paper where a POQ reader sees the gap and the move.
## When to trigger
- Drafting or revising the introduction and the "contribution" paragraph
- A reviewer said you "missed obvious work" or "don't engage the survey-methods literature"
- Your substantive framing is solid but the methodological grounding is thin (or vice versa)
- You need to distinguish your contribution from the closest prior papers
