nature-neuroscience
Use when targeting Nature Neuroscience (Nat Neurosci) or deciding whether a 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.

# Nature Neuroscience (nature-neuroscience) ## Journal positioning Nature Neuroscience, published by Springer Nature, is among the most selective journals in the field, publishing conceptual advances in neuroscience across all scales — from molecules and synapses to circuits, systems, and behavior. It sits one tier below Nature in the Springer Nature hierarchy but above specialty society journals, and commands the full editorial-triage culture of the Nature family: most submissions are triaged without review based on significance and conceptual novelty alone. The readership spans the whole neuroscience community, so a paper must matter beyond its model organism, brain region, or technical niche. 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/neuro. ## When to trigger - The author names Nature Neuroscience or Nat Neurosci as the target venue. - A neuroscience manuscript represents a clear conceptual advance and the author is calibrating among Nature Neuroscience, Neuron, or Nature. - A study uses a novel technology (two-photon

What does the nature-neuroscience skill do?
Use when targeting Nature Neuroscience (Nat Neurosci) or deciding whether a 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 nature-neuroscience --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.
