Use when targeting Laser & Photonics Reviews or deciding whether a laser-physics / photonics review or original-research manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, the synthesis-and-significance bar, review and original-research rigor, house style, the review-vs-primary-research routing, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.

# Laser & Photonics Reviews (laser-and-photonics-reviews) ## Journal positioning Laser & Photonics Reviews is a Wiley journal for laser physics and photonics with a distinct **review-leaning identity**: it publishes authoritative, critical reviews that synthesize a field and set its agenda, alongside selected high-quality original research of broad photonics interest. The defining expectation differs from a primary-research-first venue: a review must do more than catalogue the literature — it must organize, critique, and frame open problems with the authority of someone shaping the field; an original-research submission must be of review-worthy significance and breadth. A narrow tutorial, an uncritical reference list, or an incremental experimental note is a poor fit. This skill is a **fit / venue-selection / re-framing** tool. It does not replace the journal's current official author guidelines. Before submitting, re-check the live Laser & Photonics Reviews author guidelines on the Wiley site. ## When to trigger - The author is planning a critical review of a laser-physics or photonics field and wants a fit/framing and authority check. - A primary-research result of unusually broa

What does the laser-and-photonics-reviews skill do?
Use when targeting Laser & Photonics Reviews or deciding whether a laser-physics / photonics review or original-research manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, the synthesis-and-significance bar, review and original-research rigor, house style, the review-vs-primary-research routing, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill laser-and-photonics-reviews --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.
