# REStud Literature Positioning (restud-literature-positioning)
## When to trigger
- The related-work discussion is a list of citations rather than an argument
- The user cannot name the single closest paper and what theirs adds
- A referee or seminar comment was "how is this different from [X]?"
- The contribution is original (per `restud-topic-selection`) but its *location* in the literature is unclear
## What REStud positioning must do
REStud is general-interest and weights theory and applied work equally, so the positioning has two jobs at once:
1. **Confront the closest papers honestly.** Name the 3–5 nearest results and state precisely what each one already established and what it could not.
