asr-tables-figures
Use when building tables and figures for an American Sociological Review (ASR) manuscript. ASR excludes tables and figures from the 15,000-word count but still expects them to be clear, self-contained, and ASA-formatted. Designs exhibits; it does not run the analysis.

# Tables & Figures (asr-tables-figures) Exhibits are where a masked reviewer checks whether the result is real. ASR **excludes tables and figures from the 15,000-word limit** (text, references, and footnotes count) — so you are not penalized for a clear exhibit, but it must earn its place and stand on its own. ## When to trigger - Designing the main results table/figure or a key descriptive exhibit - Deciding what belongs in the article vs. supplementary materials - A reviewer found an exhibit unclear, mislabeled, or not self-contained - Presenting qualitative or comparative-historical evidence in tabular/visual form ## Principles 1. **Self-contained.** Title, row/column labels, and a complete note make each exhibit intelligible alone. State the sample, N, units, weighting, and what the estimate is. 2. **Show magnitude and uncertainty.** Effect sizes and intervals — not stars alone. Coefficient and marginal-effects plots often beat dense coefficient walls. 3. **Sociology-specific exhibits.** Mobility/transition tables and flow diagrams; survival curves and Lexis/age-period-cohort surfaces for demography; network graphs; sequence-analysis chronograms; **evidence tables** linking cla

What does the asr-tables-figures skill do?
Use when building tables and figures for an American Sociological Review (ASR) manuscript. ASR excludes tables and figures from the 15,000-word count but still expects them to be clear, self-contained, and ASA-formatted. Designs exhibits; it does not run the analysis.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill asr-tables-figures --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.
