Positions New Media & Society manuscripts across interdisciplinary literature debates and articulates clear theoretical gap statements.

The NM&S Literature Positioning skill helps academic authors structure related-work sections and literature reviews tailored to the rigorous interdisciplinary standards of New Media & Society (NM&S). It guides researchers in braiding two or more intersecting literatures, honoring the historical lineages of travelling concepts, framing gaps as active theoretical tensions rather than mere empirical absences, and identifying rival accounts to displace. This skill is indispensable when drafting journal introductions, clarifying novel contributions across fields like media studies, sociology, and STS, or addressing reviewer critiques regarding missing perspectives or single-field silos.
