Use when targeting Journal of Ecology (J Ecol) or deciding whether a full-length plant-focused or broader ecology 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 Ecology (journal-of-ecology) ## Journal positioning Journal of Ecology is published by the British Ecological Society with Wiley and is a leading venue for full-length ecological research with a strong plant focus, while welcoming broader ecology that spans population, community, and ecosystem levels. Its defining character is depth and rigor without a brevity constraint: papers are expected to develop a question thoroughly, with adequate replication, careful design, and a substantive discussion. The journal rewards advances in plant population and community ecology, plant-soil interactions, ecosystem processes, demography, and the mechanisms underlying ecological pattern — work that is conceptually motivated and broadly relevant beyond a single site. Readership is the international ecology community, with particular strength in plant and ecosystem ecology. This skill is a **fit / venue-selection / re-framing** tool. It does not replace the journal's current official guidelines. Before submitting, re-check the live author instructions on the Journal of Ecology BES/Wiley site. ## When to trigger - The author names Journal of Ecology as the target for a full-length plant

What does the journal-of-ecology skill do?
Use when targeting Journal of Ecology (J Ecol) or deciding whether a full-length plant-focused or broader ecology 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-ecology --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.
