pubar-literature-positioning
Use when positioning a Public Administration Review (PAR) manuscript against the literature so it reads as a field-wide contribution that also informs practice. PAR readers span public management, governance, and the practitioner community, so the paper must engage the core PA debates and not just one niche. Stakes the contribution; it does not write the lit review.

# Literature Positioning (pubar-literature-positioning)
PAR is read across public management *and* by reflective practitioners, so positioning must place the
paper where a **general public-administration audience** sees both the scholarly gap and the practical
stake. A "literature dump" that engages only one niche reads as off-fit for the field's flagship.
## When to trigger
- Drafting or revising the introduction and the "contribution" paragraph
- A reviewer said you "missed core PA work" or "don't engage the debate"
- Your niche literature is solid but the paper doesn't connect to broader public management
- You need to distinguish your contribution from the closest prior PAR/JPART papers
## How PAR wants the literature engaged
