eursr-tables-figures
Use when building tables and figures for a European Sociological Review (ESR) manuscript. ESR excludes tables and figures from the ~8,000-word count but expects them to be clear, self-contained, and to carry magnitude and uncertainty for a comparative quantitative readership. Designs exhibits; it does not run the analysis.

Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Tables & Figures (eursr-tables-figures) Exhibits are where a double-blind reviewer checks whether the comparative or longitudinal result is real. ESR **excludes tables and figures from the ~8,000-word count** (endnotes and references count) — so a clear exhibit costs nothing against length, but it must earn its place and stand on its own. ## When to trigger - Designing the main results table/figure or a key descriptive/cross-national exhibit - Deciding what belongs in the article vs. the (supplementary) appendix - A reviewer found an exhibit unclear, mislabeled, or not self-contained - Presenting a cross-level interaction or country-level pattern visually ## Principles 1. **Self-contained.** Title, row/column labels, and a complete note make each exhibit intelligible alone. State the data source (ESS/EU-SILC/SOEP/EVS or register), sample, N (and number of countries), units, weighting, estimator, and what the estimate is. 2. **Show magnitude and uncertainty.** Effect sizes and intervals — not stars alone. **Predicted- probability and marginal-effects plots** usually beat dense coefficient walls for a comparative reader, and **coefficient/forest plots** convey cross-country variati

What does the eursr-tables-figures skill do?
Use when building tables and figures for a European Sociological Review (ESR) manuscript. ESR excludes tables and figures from the ~8,000-word count but expects them to be clear, self-contained, and to carry magnitude and uncertainty for a comparative quantitative readership. Designs exhibits; it does not run the analysis.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill eursr-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.
