JOLE referees are labor economists who know the field's frontier. Positioning is not a literature dump; it is a precise stake: which two or three papers are closest, and exactly what you add (better identification, new or linked data, a distinguished mechanism, a new population or institution). Because the journal is general-interest within labor, also locate the paper for labor economists in adjacent subfields — a wage-structure result should be legible to someone who studies migration or family economics.
Citation mechanics are JOLE-specific and load-bearing here:
【Closest papers】[2–3] — what each established:
【Gap】what they left open:
【Your add】one sentence vs. each:
【Adjacent-subfield bridge】one sentence:
【Citation style】Chicago author-date, chronological-then-alpha, "et al." 3+? [Y/N]
【Next step】jole-identification-strategy

Positions a QJE manuscript's contribution against the frontier: what it builds on, overturns, and why it belongs in a general-interest journal. Use when the contribution-relative-to-literature is fuzzy.
Positions a REStud manuscript against the closest related work by confronting nearest papers and stating the marginal contribution precisely.
