# Nature Synthesis (nature-synthesis) ## Journal positioning Nature Synthesis is a Springer Nature journal dedicated to research on the making of molecules and materials — the methodology of chemical and materials synthesis itself. Its defining character is that the synthetic advance is the contribution: the journal rewards new ways to construct things, new reactivity, new control over selectivity or structure, and new strategies that expand what can be made or how efficiently it can be made. This spans organic, inorganic, organometallic, and materials chemistry, as well as electrochemistry and other enabling synthetic approaches. A paper belongs here when the central message is a synthetic method or strategy of broad interest and significance, not merely an application that happens to use synthesis. Readership is the cross-disciplinary synthetic community. 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 Nature Synthesis site. ## When to trigger - The author names Nature Synthesis as the target venue for a primary-research paper whos

What does the nature-synthesis skill do?
Use when targeting Nature Synthesis or deciding whether a chemical or materials synthesis manuscript fits this methodology-focused, high-impact 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-synthesis --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.
