QJE Literature Positioning
Positions economics manuscript contributions against the research frontier to meet Quarterly Journal of Economics editorial standards.
Streamline the introduction of your economics manuscript for submission to the Quarterly Journal of Economics (QJE) and other top general-interest journals. QJE Literature Positioning helps researchers articulate their core contribution relative to the research frontier directly within the introduction, moving away from catalog-style literature surveys. It guides authors through four proven positioning moves: anchoring to high-level literature, engaging 3 to 6 key frontier papers, stating the exact marginal contribution, and bounding empirical claims to withstand desk-review and referee scrutiny.
