Use when targeting The International Journal of Robotics Research (IJRR) or deciding whether a robotics manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, the longer-form conceptually-framed-and-general contribution bar, depth-and-generality rigor, the IJRR-vs-T-RO routing, house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.

# The International Journal of Robotics Research (the-international-journal-of-robotics-research) ## Journal positioning The International Journal of Robotics Research (IJRR), published by SAGE, is a flagship archival venue for **longer-form, conceptually framed robotics research**: foundational methods, extended treatments, and contributions whose value rests on **generality and depth** rather than a single working demonstration. The defining expectation is an idea developed thoroughly — formalized, analyzed, and evaluated across conditions — that advances how the field thinks about a problem, not only a system that performs one task. Compared with its sibling `ieee-transactions-on-robotics`, IJRR favors the deeper, more general, more conceptual treatment, while T-RO favors complete and tightly validated results; route by whether the strength is generality-of-idea or completeness-of-validation. This skill is a **fit / venue-selection / re-framing** tool. It does not replace the journal's current official author guidelines. Before submitting, re-check the live IJRR/SAGE author information. ## When to trigger - The author names IJRR for a robotics manuscript with a foundational or c

What does the the-international-journal-of-robotics-research skill do?
Use when targeting The International Journal of Robotics Research (IJRR) or deciding whether a robotics manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, the longer-form conceptually-framed-and-general contribution bar, depth-and-generality rigor, the IJRR-vs-T-RO routing, 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 the-international-journal-of-robotics-research --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.
