# Nature Chemistry (nature-chemistry) ## Journal positioning Nature Chemistry is a Springer Nature journal that publishes research and review content of exceptional significance across the full breadth of chemistry, with an explicit editorial mandate to attract readers from all areas of chemistry and from adjacent disciplines. The defining criterion is not just novelty within a sub-field but conceptual reach: a Nature Chemistry paper changes how chemists think about a problem, introduces a genuinely new paradigm, or connects chemistry to broader scientific questions in a compelling way. The journal also publishes News & Views, perspective articles, and Reviews; the tone throughout is narrative and accessible, unlike a specialist technical journal. 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 Springer Nature submission portal. ## When to trigger - The author names Nature Chemistry or Nat Chem as the target venue. - A chemistry manuscript has a conceptual advance that reframes a problem or opens a new direction, and the author is ev

What does the nature-chemistry skill do?
Use when targeting Nature Chemistry (Nat Chem) or deciding whether a chemistry manuscript fits this Springer Nature 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 nature-chemistry --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.
