epsl-literature-positioning
Use when positioning an Earth and Planetary Science Letters (EPSL) manuscript against prior work. EPSL's readership spans geochemistry, geophysics, geodynamics, geochronology and planetary science, so the knowledge gap must be framed across sub-fields and against the frontier, not inside one method community. It frames the gap and citations; it does not fabricate references.

# Literature Positioning (epsl-literature-positioning)
An EPSL paper is typically refereed by specialists from *different* sub-fields — a geochemist and a
geodynamicist, or a seismologist and a mineral physicist. Positioning that only cites your own method
community reads as parochial to the other reviewer, and positioning that ignores what the adjacent
community already established reads as naive. This skill builds the cross-disciplinary gap statement
that survives both.
## When to trigger
- Writing the introduction's "what is known / what is missing" arc
- A reviewer wrote "the authors seem unaware of the geophysical (or geochemical) constraints"
- Checking whether the claimed gap is already closed in an adjacent literature
- Preparing an invited Frontiers Paper that must map an entire frontier
