jama-psychiatry
Use when targeting JAMA Psychiatry or deciding whether a clinical-psychiatry or mental-health study fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, the psychiatric-trial and observational/neuropsychiatric 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 Psychiatry (jama-psychiatry) ## Journal positioning JAMA Psychiatry is a JAMA Network specialty journal for clinical psychiatry and mental-health research relevant to the practice of psychiatry. It favors rigorous, practice-relevant work — randomized psychiatric and psychotherapy trials, large epidemiologic and registry studies, and neuropsychiatric/biomarker and neuroimaging studies tied to clinical phenotypes — with JAMA's emphasis on validated outcomes, adequate power, and direct relevance to mental-health care. It is a JAMA Network venue with a North-American clinical center of gravity, distinct from the Lancet family's global-mental-health reach. Small symptom-scale studies, underpowered neuroimaging with no replication, and biomarker correlations without clinical endpoints 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 Psychiatry author instructions. ## When to trigger - The author names JAMA Psychiatry for a psychiatric trial, epidemiologic, or neuropsychiatric study and wants a fit/framing

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