acs-nano
Use when targeting ACS Nano or deciding whether a nanoscience / nanotechnology manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, framing, method-and-evidence bar, house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.

# ACS Nano (acs-nano) ## Journal positioning ACS Nano is the American Chemical Society's flagship journal for nanoscience and nanotechnology, publishing research on structures, phenomena, and applications at the 1–100 nm scale across chemistry, physics, materials science, and biology. The journal serves a broad interdisciplinary nanoscience readership and expects every paper to demonstrate both rigorous nanoscale characterization and significance that extends beyond a narrow sub-community. Incremental nanoparticle synthesis papers that merely report a new variant without conceptual or application advance are actively desk-rejected. 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 Publications site. ## When to trigger - The author names ACS Nano as the target venue for a nanoscience or nanotechnology manuscript. - A nano-materials or nano-device paper has broad interdisciplinary significance and the author is choosing between ACS Nano, Nature Nanotechnology, and Nano Letters. - A manuscript requires re-framing from a materials/chem

What does the acs-nano skill do?
Use when targeting ACS Nano or deciding whether a nanoscience / nanotechnology manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, framing, method-and-evidence bar, house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill acs-nano --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.
