accounts-of-chemical-research
Use when targeting Accounts of Chemical Research (Acc Chem Res) or deciding whether a chemistry account manuscript fits this ACS venue. Encodes the journal's fit, framing, method-and-evidence bar, house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics. NOTE: Accounts of Chemical Research is a largely INVITED venue publishing concise author accounts of one group's own research program, not comprehensive reviews of a field or primary research papers.

# Accounts of Chemical Research (accounts-of-chemical-research) ## Journal positioning Accounts of Chemical Research, published by the American Chemical Society, occupies a distinct niche in the review literature: it publishes concise, personal accounts written by a researcher (or a small team) describing the development and implications of their own research program, rather than comprehensive reviews of an entire field. The tone is first-person and narrative, tracing how ideas evolved, what surprises arose, and where the program is heading. The journal is largely invited — most Accounts are solicited from chemists who have made a sustained, recognised contribution to a sub-field — but unsolicited submissions from authors with an equally compelling body of work are reviewed. Primary research data or field-wide literature surveys are categorically mismatched. This skill is a **fit / venue-selection / re-framing** tool. It does not replace the journal's current official submission guidelines. Before submitting, re-check the live author instructions on the ACS submission system. ## When to trigger - The author has received an invitation from the Accounts of Chemical Research editorial

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill accounts-of-chemical-research --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills, a repository with 909 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
