From rof-skills
Positions a Review of Finance manuscript against the finance frontier with correct top-three citations, strict author-responsibility citation norm, and delta-staking without a standalone survey.

- The related-work section reads as a survey, not a staking of position
RoF enforces a strong author-responsibility citation norm: authors must search for and cite relevant work, and not being aware of a paper that should reasonably have been found is not a valid defense — omissions can be sanctioned. Combined with the top-three-finance-journal standard, positioning must be (a) complete with respect to the closest work and (b) framed for a general finance audience. Because RoF spans empirical and theoretical finance, place the paper relative to both the evidence and the mechanism it speaks to.
Because an omission at RoF can be sanctioned, the search must be documented, not vibes:
Before: "A large literature studies bank competition and stability [eight citations]." After: "Keeley (1990) ties charter value to risk-taking; Boyd and De Nicolò (2005) reverse the sign theoretically; using Bankscope data on 1,800 European banks we show both forces operate, with competition-fragility dominating only above a market-share threshold — the margin neither paper can identify." One clause per pole of the debate, then the delta. (Illustrative numbers; the cited debate is real and well known.)

npx claudepluginhub brycewang-stanford/awesome-journal-skills --plugin rof-skillsHelps frame related-work sections for RFS manuscripts by defining the precise contribution delta against top finance journals. Guides structuring anchor literatures, frontier, wedge, and delta.
Builds a sharp positioning argument for JFE manuscripts whose related-work section reads as a list and lacks clear marginal contribution relative to the top-3 finance frontier.
Positions a Journal of Banking & Finance manuscript against banking, intermediation, corporate finance, investments, regulation, and capital-market literatures to state a precise contribution.
