Use when targeting Applied Energy or deciding whether a systems-level energy manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, the systems-scope-and-quantified-impact bar, modeling and assessment rigor, house style, the systems-vs-single-device routing, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.

# Applied Energy (applied-energy) ## Journal positioning Applied Energy (Elsevier) is a **systems-level** energy research venue: energy conversion and integration, energy-systems modeling and optimization, decarbonization pathways, demand and efficiency, and techno-economic and environmental assessment. Its center of gravity is the **system, not the device** — how technologies, sectors, and markets combine to deliver, store, or save energy, and what the quantified energetic, economic, and environmental consequences are. The single most common misfit is a single-material or single-component study (for example, one electrode or one catalyst) submitted as if it were systems research; such work belongs at a materials or device venue. A paper succeeds when its contribution is a generalizable systems-level insight backed by transparent, validated analysis. This skill is a **fit / venue-selection / re-framing** tool. It does not replace the journal's current official author guidelines. Before submitting, re-check the live Applied Energy Guide for Authors on the Elsevier site. ## When to trigger - The author names Applied Energy for an energy-systems modeling, integration, decarbonization,

What does the applied-energy skill do?
Use when targeting Applied Energy or deciding whether a systems-level energy manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, the systems-scope-and-quantified-impact bar, modeling and assessment rigor, house style, the systems-vs-single-device routing, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill applied-energy --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.
