jpart-literature-positioning
Use when positioning a Journal of Public Administration Research and Theory (JPART) manuscript against the public-administration literature so it reads as a theory contribution, not a fresh data point. JPART expects engagement with the specific PA conversation (PSM, red tape, representation, performance, governance) the paper advances. Stakes the contribution; it does not write the lit review.

# Literature Positioning (jpart-literature-positioning)
JPART reviewers are public-management theorists. A paper that cites a pile of PA work but never names the
**conversation it advances** reads as atheoretical and stalls. The goal is to place the paper inside a
live PA debate and state precisely what it changes.
## When to trigger
- Drafting or revising the introduction and the "contribution" paragraph
- A reviewer said you "missed the core PA literature" or "don't engage the theory you claim to test"
- Your empirics are clean but the framing doesn't connect to a named PA theory
- You need to distinguish your contribution from the closest prior JPART/PAR papers
## How JPART wants the literature engaged
