Use when targeting Earth and Planetary Science Letters (EPSL) or deciding whether a quantitative solid-earth or planetary-science manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's broad-interest process-science fit, the quantitative geochemistry/geophysics evidence bar, Elsevier house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.

# Earth and Planetary Science Letters (earth-and-planetary-science-letters) ## Journal positioning Earth and Planetary Science Letters (EPSL), published by Elsevier, is a broad-interest journal for **quantitative research on the physical and chemical processes of the Earth and other planets**. The defining expectation is a process-oriented, quantitatively rigorous advance — in geochemistry, geophysics, geodynamics, petrology and mineral physics, planetary processes, or paleoclimate/paleoceanography proxy science — that is significant to a wide earth- and planetary-science readership rather than to one specialty alone. Despite the "Letters" name, EPSL favors complete, self-contained articles in which the data, modeling, and interpretation jointly support a generalizable mechanism; a purely descriptive regional report, a method note with no process payoff, or a result of interest only to a narrow sub-field is a weak fit. This skill is a **fit / venue-selection / re-framing** tool. It does not replace the journal's current author guidance. Before submitting, re-check the live EPSL / Elsevier author instructions and data policy. ## When to trigger - The author names EPSL and wants a fi

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill earth-and-planetary-science-letters --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 984 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.
