# Molecular Psychiatry (molecular-psychiatry) ## Journal positioning Molecular Psychiatry, published by Springer Nature, is a leading journal in biological psychiatry and translational neuroscience, focusing on the molecular, genetic, cellular, and circuit mechanisms underlying psychiatric disorders and their interface with clinical phenomena. It occupies the space between basic neuroscience journals and clinical psychiatry journals, demanding both mechanistic depth and clear translational or clinical relevance. The readership spans psychiatric genetics researchers, translational neuroscientists, clinical researchers, and psychiatrists interested in biological mechanisms, so a paper must articulate both the mechanism and its disease relevance. 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 nature.com/mp. ## When to trigger - The author names Molecular Psychiatry or Mol Psychiatry as the target venue. - A psychiatric genetics, neuroimaging genetics, or mechanistic psychiatry study has both biological depth and patient-relevant findings.

What does the molecular-psychiatry skill do?
Use when targeting Molecular Psychiatry (Mol Psychiatry) or deciding whether a biological psychiatry or translational neuroscience 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 molecular-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.
