Use when targeting Physical Review E (PRE) or deciding whether a statistical, nonlinear, soft-matter, or complex-systems physics manuscript fits this APS archival venue. Encodes the journal's fit, framing, method-and-evidence bar, house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.

# Physical Review E (physical-review-e) ## Journal positioning Physical Review E is the American Physical Society's archival journal for statistical, nonlinear, biological, and soft-matter physics, covering the physics of complex systems broadly. Its defining character is methodological rigor over headline novelty: PRE publishes complete, fully documented studies that advance the quantitative understanding of statistical mechanics, nonlinear dynamics, fluid dynamics, soft and granular matter, networks, and biological physics. Unlike Physical Review Letters, PRE does not require broad-impact framing — a careful, technically sound contribution that other workers in the subfield will build on is the standard. Readership is the specialist statistical-and-complex-systems-physics community across physics, applied mathematics, and quantitative biology. 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 Physical Review E APS site. ## When to trigger - The author names Physical Review E as the target venue for a complete statistical-physics, non

What does the physical-review-e skill do?
Use when targeting Physical Review E (PRE) or deciding whether a statistical, nonlinear, soft-matter, or complex-systems physics manuscript fits this APS archival 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 physical-review-e --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.
