# Communications Earth & Environment (communications-earth-and-environment) ## Journal positioning Communications Earth & Environment is the Nature Portfolio open-access journal that publishes high-quality research from across the earth, environmental, and planetary sciences. Its defining expectation is a **solid, complete, and broadly framed advance**: the work must be technically rigorous and represent a meaningful step for its field, but it need not clear the flagship-Nature bar of transformative significance that `nature-geoscience` and `nature-climate-change` demand. A result that is sound and useful to its specialist community but framed only for that community — with no articulated interest for the wider earth-and-environment readership — is a weak fit. This skill is a **fit / venue-selection / re-framing** tool. It does not replace the journal's current author guidelines. Before submitting, re-check the live Communications Earth & Environment submission guidance. ## When to trigger - The author names Communications Earth & Environment and wants a fit/framing check for an earth or environmental science paper. - A solid, complete result is being weighed against more selective

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill communications-earth-and-environment --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.
