# Journal of the American Chemical Society (journal-of-the-american-chemical-society) ## Journal positioning Journal of the American Chemical Society is the flagship journal of the American Chemical Society and one of the most broadly read and cited venues in chemistry, covering the full disciplinary spectrum: organic, inorganic, physical, biological, materials, and computational chemistry. JACS demands that a paper be both scientifically significant and of general interest to the broad chemistry community — not just to specialists in the sub-field. Two article types coexist: Communications (short, urgent, conceptually distinct) and Articles (full, comprehensive, mechanistically complete); framing and length expectations differ sharply between them. 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 ACS submission system. ## When to trigger - The author names JACS as the target venue. - A chemistry manuscript has clear broad-community interest and the author is choosing between JACS, `angewandte-chemie-international-edition`, and `natur

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill journal-of-the-american-chemical-society --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.
