JBF Literature Positioning
Positions banking and finance manuscripts against frontier literature to articulate precise academic contributions for Journal of Banking & Finance submissions.
The JBF Literature Positioning skill provides structured guidance for finance researchers to define their academic contribution relative to the banking, corporate finance, intermediation, and regulatory literature frontiers. It helps authors move beyond generic surveys by mapping their empirical design, mechanisms, and policy implications against the closest 5-8 papers. Designed specifically for the Journal of Banking & Finance standard, this skill prevents common referee pushbacks by structuring clear delta statements, organizing strand-specific literature buckets, and ensuring that dataset or setting innovations are framed around meaningful economic mechanisms.
