Individual skill
jmis-literature-positioning
Use when staking a Journal of Management Information Systems (JMIS) manuscript's contribution against the IS literature and the basket siblings — showing it advances an IS-management/economics conversation rather than only a reference discipline. Positions the work; it does not build the mechanism (jmis-theory-development) or write the contribution statement (jmis-contribution-framing).

# Literature Positioning (jmis-literature-positioning)
## When to trigger
- The front end reads as a reference-discipline paper (pure economics, marketing, CS, OB) that merely uses an IS setting
- You cannot name the specific IS conversation you are joining and changing
- A reviewer says the contribution is incremental, or that the paper "ignores prior IS work"
- You are unsure whether the natural home is JMIS, MISQ, ISR, JAIS, or Management Science
## Position to an IS conversation, not just a reference discipline
JMIS is an IS journal, so the literature you must engage first is the **IS literature** — IT business value, digital platforms, e-commerce, IS economics, security/privacy, decision support/analytics — even when your toolkit comes from economics or computer science. The test a JMIS reviewer applies: *what did the IS field believe, and how does this paper move that belief?* Borrowing a reference-discipline method is fine; positioning the contribution *only* in the reference discipline is a desk-reject signal because the IS audience cannot see the advance.
## Build the positioning in three moves
