# Annual Review of Ecology, Evolution, and Systematics (annual-review-of-ecology-evolution-and-systematics) ## Journal positioning Annual Review of Ecology, Evolution, and Systematics is published by Annual Reviews and occupies a distinctive niche: it carries only authoritative, comprehensive review articles that survey a field, synthesize its state of knowledge, and chart future directions — it does not publish primary research of any kind. Its defining character is invitation and authority: most articles are commissioned by the editorial committee from established leaders in a subfield, and the writing is expected to define a topic for the broad ecology, evolution, and systematics community for years. The journal rewards reviews that impose conceptual order on a sprawling literature, resolve or sharpen long-running debates, and identify the questions that will drive the next decade. Readership spans the entire EEB community, including graduate students using the article as an entry point. This skill is a **fit / venue-selection / re-framing** tool. It does not replace the journal's current official guidelines. Before proposing or submitting, re-check the live author instructions

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill annual-review-of-ecology-evolution-and-systematics --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.
