# Nature Immunology (nature-immunology) ## Journal positioning Nature Immunology is Springer Nature's premier specialist immunology journal, sitting at the top of the discipline alongside Cell Press's Immunity. It publishes discoveries that shift the conceptual framework of immunology — new mechanisms of immune-cell development, activation, regulation, and effector function, as well as findings that redefine how the immune system intersects with infection, cancer, autoimmunity, and tissue homeostasis. The significance bar is explicitly field-shifting, not merely incremental mechanism; a new co-stimulatory molecule, a new cytokine role, or a new cell subset requires a conceptual storyline that changes how immunologists think about a process broadly. The readership is the full international immunology community; papers that are compelling only to subspecialists rarely pass triage. 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 Nature Immunology site. ## When to trigger - The author names Nature Immunology as the target

What does the nature-immunology skill do?
Use when targeting Nature Immunology (Nat Immunol) or deciding whether an immunology 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 nature-immunology --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.
