# National Science Review (national-science-review) ## Journal positioning National Science Review is China's flagship multidisciplinary scientific journal, published by Oxford University Press on behalf of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. It publishes primary research, reviews, and perspectives across the natural sciences — physics, chemistry, materials, life sciences, earth/environmental science, and engineering — with a particular strength in areas where Chinese research leads globally. NSR occupies a distinctive dual role: it is an internationally peer-reviewed research journal and a venue for authoritative synthetic reviews of fields in which China-based science is making transformative contributions. The readership is global but the editorial perspective explicitly showcases the best of Chinese science alongside internationally sourced excellence. 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 OUP/NSR site. ## When to trigger - The author names National Science Review (or NSR) as the target venue. - A manuscript from a Chinese

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill national-science-review --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.
