gec-submission
Use when running the final pre-submission preflight for Global Environmental Change (GEC) via Elsevier's online submission system — format selection, double-anonymized files, word and abstract caps, Highlights, the Data Availability Statement, declarations, and ORCID. Final checks; it does not draft content.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Submission Preflight (gec-submission) The last check before pressing submit through Elsevier's online submission system. GEC is **double-anonymized**, so a common avoidable failure is an under-anonymized manuscript; the others are missing **Highlights** and a missing **Data Availability Statement**. Facts below were refreshed from the official Guide for Authors on 2026-06-20; re-check live pages before filing. ## When to trigger - "Submitting tomorrow" — last pass before upload - Unsure which files/metadata Elsevier's submission system expects - Confirming caps are met and the manuscript is properly anonymized ## Process facts (verified 2026-06-20; re-confirm volatile items on the official page) - **Publisher:** **Elsevier** (ISSN 0959-3780 print / 1872-9495 online). - **Portal:** Elsevier's online submission system. - **Review model:** **double-anonymized** — submit a title page and anonymized manuscript as separate files. - **Article length:** Research Articles **up to 8,000 words** (including main text and table/figure captions, excluding references); Perspectives **up to 3,000 words** (excluding references). - **Abstract:** **<=250 words**. - **Keywords:** **1-7 English keywo

What does the gec-submission skill do?
Use when running the final pre-submission preflight for Global Environmental Change (GEC) via Elsevier's online submission system — format selection, double-anonymized files, word and abstract caps, Highlights, the Data Availability Statement, declarations, and ORCID. Final checks; it does not draft content.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill gec-submission --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.
