# Nature Reviews Drug Discovery (nature-reviews-drug-discovery) ## Journal positioning Nature Reviews Drug Discovery is a Springer Nature title and the field-defining review journal for drug discovery and development. Its defining character is authoritative, commissioned synthesis: it publishes no primary research, and the great majority of content is solicited by the editors from leaders in pharmacology, medicinal chemistry, translational medicine, and pharma R&D strategy. The journal rewards reviews and analyses that frame where a therapeutic area, target class, or development paradigm stands and where it is heading — integrating mechanism, clinical evidence, pipeline landscape, and commercial and regulatory context — rather than narrow methodological updates. Readership spans academic pharmacologists, biotech and pharma scientists, clinicians, and investors. This skill is a **fit / venue-selection / re-framing** tool. It does not replace the journal's current official submission guidelines. Because most articles are commissioned, an unsolicited submission almost always begins with a pre-submission proposal.

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill nature-reviews-drug-discovery --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.
