Use when targeting Chemical Society Reviews (Chem Soc Rev) or deciding whether a chemistry review manuscript fits this RSC venue. Encodes the journal's fit, framing, method-and-evidence bar, house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics. NOTE: Chem Soc Rev publishes reviews and tutorial reviews, not primary research; many leading reviews are solicited.

# Chemical Society Reviews (chemical-society-reviews) ## Journal positioning Chemical Society Reviews is published by the Royal Society of Chemistry and is one of the highest-impact review journals in chemistry, alongside `chemical-reviews` (ACS). It publishes critical review articles and tutorial review articles across the full scope of chemistry, with an emphasis on accessible, pedagogically valuable treatments that help specialists and non-specialists alike understand the state and future of a research area. Unlike Chemical Reviews, Chem Soc Rev explicitly cultivates the Tutorial Review format, making it a natural target for reviews that aim to teach as well as synthesise. Many prominent reviews are solicited, but the journal actively considers unsolicited proposals and manuscripts when the topic and authors are well-matched. 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 RSC submission portal. ## When to trigger - The author names Chem Soc Rev or Chemical Society Reviews as the target venue. - A chemistry review needs evaluation

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill chemical-society-reviews --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.
