# Nature Medicine (nature-medicine) ## Journal positioning Nature Medicine, published by Springer Nature, is the premier translational and clinical medicine journal in the Nature family. It publishes research that moves from biological mechanism to clinical application—spanning fundamental disease biology, biomarker discovery, clinical trials, and computational medicine—as long as the work has direct and demonstrated relevance to human disease. The journal demands both biological depth and clinical plausibility; purely preclinical studies without a clear translational bridge, and purely clinical studies without mechanistic insight, each face a steep hurdle. The readership spans translational researchers, physician-scientists, and clinical trialists worldwide. 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 site or submission system. ## When to trigger - The author names Nature Medicine as the target venue for a translational study, first-in-human trial, or biomarker/diagnostic discovery. - A manuscript moves from a me

What does the nature-medicine skill do?
Use when targeting Nature Medicine or deciding whether a translational or clinical medicine 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-medicine --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.
