Use when targeting Field Crops Research or deciding whether an agronomy / crop-physiology manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, the field-scale multi-environment and replication bar, data-reporting expectations, house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.

# Field Crops Research (field-crops-research) ## Journal positioning Field Crops Research, published by Elsevier, is an agronomy and crop-physiology journal centred on **field-scale crop performance**: yield and its determinants, resource-use efficiency (water, nitrogen, radiation), cropping systems, crop modeling, and management across environments. Its defining expectation is **rigorous, adequately replicated field experimentation that generalizes across environments** — multi-site and/or multi-season evidence, or modeling validated against field data. A single site-year, unreplicated trial, or a pot/glasshouse study generalized to the field without field validation is a poor 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 Field Crops Research author guidance. ## When to trigger - The author names Field Crops Research and wants a fit/framing check for a field-agronomy or crop-physiology paper. - A management, genotype, or resource-efficiency result must be framed for generalizability across environments rather than as a one-off trial. - The author is choosing betwee

What does the field-crops-research skill do?
Use when targeting Field Crops Research or deciding whether an agronomy / crop-physiology manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, the field-scale multi-environment and replication bar, data-reporting expectations, 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 field-crops-research --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.
