RFS Literature Positioning
Frames and sharpens the research contribution and related-work section of finance manuscripts targeting The Review of Financial Studies.
RFS Literature Positioning guides finance researchers in structuring high-impact related-work sections and articulating crisp, defensible contribution deltas for submissions to The Review of Financial Studies (RFS) and peer top finance journals (JF, JFE). It transitions literature reviews away from chronological laundry lists toward question-driven synthesis, identifying anchor theoretical frameworks, recent frontier papers, and exact methodological or conceptual wedges against the closest competing literature.
