ieee-transactions-on-communications
Use when targeting IEEE Transactions on Communications (TCOM) or deciding whether a communication-systems manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, the analysis-plus-simulation bar, the system-performance expectation, the TCOM-vs-TWC-vs-JSAC routing, house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.

# IEEE Transactions on Communications (ieee-transactions-on-communications) ## Journal positioning IEEE Transactions on Communications (TCOM) is a broad archival venue for the design and analysis of communication systems: modulation and detection, applied channel coding, equalization, multiple access, networking, and wireless and optical communication systems, with an emphasis on end-to-end system performance. The defining expectation is a **communication contribution with quantitative performance analysis** — a new scheme or architecture whose error/throughput/latency behavior is derived analytically and corroborated by simulation, sometimes by hardware. Pure fundamental-limit theorems belong in information theory; purely empirical ML pipelines with no communications model are a poor fit. This skill is a **fit / venue-selection / re-framing** tool. It does not replace the journal's current official author guidelines. Before submitting, re-check the live IEEE Transactions on Communications author information and submission system. ## When to trigger - The author names TCOM for a communication-system design or performance-analysis manuscript and wants a fit/framing check. - A scheme

What does the ieee-transactions-on-communications skill do?
Use when targeting IEEE Transactions on Communications (TCOM) or deciding whether a communication-systems manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, the analysis-plus-simulation bar, the system-performance expectation, the TCOM-vs-TWC-vs-JSAC routing, 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 ieee-transactions-on-communications --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.
