isr-submission
Use when running the final pre-submission preflight for an Information Systems Research (ISR) manuscript — INFORMS ScholarOne portal, double-anonymization, the 32/38-page cap and formatting, the mandatory ~500-word contribution statement, and the required editor/reviewer nominations in the cover letter. Checks readiness to submit; it does not handle the post-decision response (isr-rebuttal).

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.
# Pre-Submission Preflight (isr-submission) ## When to trigger - "We're submitting this week" — the last check before hitting submit - Unsure what the ISR cover letter must contain (contribution statement, nominations) - Need to confirm double-anonymization and INFORMS formatting are complete > Current ISR submission specs below were refreshed from official INFORMS pages on 2026-06-20. Re-verify on the official INFORMS ISR submission guidelines before submitting. ## Verified ISR/INFORMS specs (confirm current values) - **Length:** manuscripts **not more than 32 pages of text** and **no more than 38 pages including all material** (references, appendixes, tables, figures). Overflow goes to the **electronic companion** (published if accepted). - **Abstract:** **300 words maximum.** - **Formatting:** **double-spaced**; standard font **at least 11 points**; **one-inch margins** on all four sides. INFORMS **author-date** reference style. - **Submission portal:** INFORMS ScholarOne / Manuscript Central. - **Review:** **double-anonymized**; a Senior Editor manages review (Associate Editor solicits 2-3 reviewers); final decision by the Senior Editor after an EIC **fit** assessment. - **Fees

What does the isr-submission skill do?
Use when running the final pre-submission preflight for an Information Systems Research (ISR) manuscript — INFORMS ScholarOne portal, double-anonymization, the 32/38-page cap and formatting, the mandatory ~500-word contribution statement, and the required editor/reviewer nominations in the cover letter.

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill isr-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 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.
