jama-oncology
Use when targeting JAMA Oncology or deciding whether a clinical-oncology study fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, the cancer-trial and outcomes-research evidence bar, reporting-guideline and trial-registration requirements, JAMA Network house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics. Venue-fit aid only, not clinical advice.

# JAMA Oncology (jama-oncology) ## Journal positioning JAMA Oncology is a JAMA Network specialty journal for clinical and translational oncology research aimed at a broad cancer-care readership — medical, surgical, and radiation oncologists, as well as cancer-epidemiology and outcomes researchers. It favors practice-relevant work: randomized cancer trials, comparative-effectiveness and real-world outcomes analyses, screening and prevention studies, and biomarker work tied to a clinically meaningful endpoint. It is positioned as a general oncology venue with JAMA's emphasis on absolute benefit, toxicity, and patient-centered outcomes, distinct from a society flagship such as Annals of Oncology (ESMO). Single-arm early-phase reports with no comparator, descriptive molecular series, and surrogate-only signals with weak clinical translation are a weak fit. This skill is a **fit / venue-selection / re-framing** aid; it is not clinical or regulatory advice and does not replace the journal's current instructions for authors. Before submitting, re-check the live JAMA Oncology author instructions. ## When to trigger - The author names JAMA Oncology for a clinical, epidemiologic, or outcomes

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