Use when targeting Circulation (AHA) or deciding whether a cardiovascular manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, framing, method-and-evidence bar, house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.

# Circulation (circulation) ## Journal positioning Circulation is the flagship journal of the American Heart Association and the premier general-cardiology venue in North America. It publishes practice-changing clinical trials, mechanistic and translational cardiovascular science, AHA scientific statements, and population-based epidemiology — all judged against whether the result can shift AHA guidelines or reshape cardiovascular clinical thinking at a broad readership of clinicians, clinical investigators, and cardiovascular scientists. The AHA identity means papers must speak to both bench and bedside; a pure-mechanism paper with no translational bridge, or a minor clinical audit, will not clear the bar. 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 AHA / Circulation publisher site and submission system. ## When to trigger - The author names Circulation or the AHA as the target venue for a cardiovascular manuscript. - A cardiovascular RCT, mechanistic study, or epidemiologic cohort paper needs venue selection among Circulation, J

What does the circulation skill do?
Use when targeting Circulation (AHA) or deciding whether a cardiovascular 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 circulation --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.
