EER Literature Positioning
Sharpens academic research contributions and literature gap claims for European Economic Review manuscripts.
EER Literature Positioning is a specialized academic writing skill tailored for manuscripts submitted to the European Economic Review (EER) or general-interest economics journals. It guides researchers in framing their research frontier delta, defining precise marginal contributions relative to the closest 3–5 papers, and bridging subfield discoveries to broader general-interest economic audiences. By enforcing checkable claims and structured positioning frameworks, it eliminates vague related-work summaries, defensiveness, and overselling before desk reviews or referee evaluations.
