# Literature Positioning (newms-literature-positioning)
NM&S is interdisciplinary, so positioning is harder than at a single-field journal: a paper on
algorithmic management must speak to *both* the platform-labor literature *and* the
surveillance/datafication literature, and show how they connect. The goal is to place the contribution
in a live debate that crosses fields, then state precisely what it changes.
## When to trigger
- Building the related-work section or the gap statement
- A reviewer said you "missed key work," "ignored a whole field," or "reinvented an existing concept"
- Deciding which conversation your paper is *in* when several are plausible
## How NM&S positioning differs
