# Literature Positioning (asq-literature-positioning)

## When to trigger

- Your literature section reads as an annotated list rather than an argument
- You cite many works but are in *dialogue* with none of them
- You cannot name the specific scholarly conversation you are joining
- Reviewers say you "missed the relevant literature" or "misframed the contribution"

## Join a conversation, don't survey a field

ASQ readers are organization theorists. They expect you to enter a **specific, identifiable conversation** and advance it. The literature section is an *argument that creates the space* for your contribution — not a comprehensive survey.
