Use when targeting Journal of Clinical Investigation (JCI) or deciding whether a translational medicine manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, framing, method-and-evidence bar, house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.

# Journal of Clinical Investigation (journal-of-clinical-investigation) ## Journal positioning The Journal of Clinical Investigation is published by the American Society for Clinical Investigation and is the flagship venue for disease-mechanism research that bridges fundamental biology and human medicine. JCI's defining editorial DNA is mechanism-of-disease with direct human or translational relevance: papers must deliver a clear mechanistic insight into a disease process — not merely a correlation or an association — and must ground that insight in human clinical samples, genetics, imaging, or biomarkers, with animal or in vitro models providing mechanistic depth rather than serving as the primary evidence. JCI occupies a distinct tier below the broad-significance bar of Nature Medicine or Cell but above society clinical journals; its readership is physician-scientists and translational researchers across all disease areas. This skill is a **fit / venue-selection / re-framing** tool. It does not replace the journal's current official submission guidelines. Before submitting, re-check the live author instructions on the ASCI / JCI platform. ## When to trigger - The author names JCI

What does the journal-of-clinical-investigation skill do?
Use when targeting Journal of Clinical Investigation (JCI) or deciding whether a translational medicine manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, framing, method-and-evidence bar, 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 journal-of-clinical-investigation --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.
