English Natural-Science Journal Skills
<p align="center"> <img src="assets/cover.svg" alt="English Natural-Science Journal Skills — 100 flagship natural-science, clinical & physical-science journals" width="220"> </p>
English | 简体中文
An opinionated agent skill stack for 100 mainstream English-language natural-science, clinical/medical, physical, and formal-science journals — the general-science triad (Nature, Science, PNAS), the Cell Press and Nature Portfolio families, the APS Physical Review family, the ACS / RSC / Wiley chemistry flagships, the "big four" general medical journals and the major clinical society venues, and the top pure-mathematics journals.
This is the natural-science sibling of English-SocialScience-Journal-Skills — the "other 100" complementing that bundle's 100 econ / finance / management journals. Like the siblings, it ships one self-contained fit-and-house-style skill per journal, plus en-natsci-journal-workflow for routing. Each journal skill helps answer: is my manuscript on-target, how should it be framed, what method and evidence does this venue expect, and what official submission details must be re-checked?
The flagship venues that also ship as first-party depth packs in the parent repo (Science, Cell, PNAS, NEJM, The Lancet) and the third-party Nature packs are intentionally covered here as quick fit cards too — exactly as american-economic-review is covered both in a depth pack and in the social-science breadth bundle.

How to Use
Start with en-natsci-journal-workflow when the venue is uncertain — it classifies the manuscript by advance type, evidence shape, audience breadth, and submission goal, then routes to the matching per-journal skill. If the target is already known, name the journal directly, for example: "Use nature-methods to assess whether this new tool is generalizable enough for Nature Methods."
Every skill returns a fit verdict, method/evidence requirements, desk-reject risks, official-submission checks, and reroute suggestions.

Source Discipline
Editorial rules change. The bundled resources/source-basis.md records the reference lists and source policy used for this expansion, resources/official-source-map.md gives one official-source starting query per journal, and volatile facts (impact factors, acceptance rates, word/figure limits, APCs) are deliberately omitted. The resources/_build-spec.md is the canonical template and factual-discipline contract, and resources/journal-roster.md is the locked 100-venue roster. Before final submission, always verify the live official author instructions on the publisher's own site or submission system -- for clinical work this includes the applicable reporting guideline (CONSORT / PRISMA / STROBE / ARRIVE) and trial registration.
