SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires pyyaml, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Preparing a manuscript for a new journal requires digging through author guidelines, fee pages, and scattered author experiences, which is slow and error-prone. This Skill automates that research by verifying official journal policies online, gathering community feedback, and delivering a single structured Chinese Markdown report.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Official Policy Verification: Checks journal homepages, author guidelines, submission systems, APC fees, and editorial policies, recording every source with URL and access date.
  • Article-Type Format Checklists: Breaks down requirements per article type (Article, Review, Brief Communication, etc.) covering word limits, abstracts, keywords, figures, references, and special files.
  • Community Review Aggregation: Collects author experiences from SciRev, LetPub, forums, and blogs, clearly separated from official information.
  • Use Case: Ask it to research "Cancer Cell" and receive a KnowJournal-Cancer Cell.md report with submission requirements, format checklists, fees, review timelines, and community feedback.

Quick Start

Use the paper-know-journal skill to research the submission requirements, format checklist, and community reviews for the journal Cancer Cell and save the report in my current directory.

Frequently Asked Questions about paper-know-journal

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I research a journal's submission requirements before submitting?

Provide the journal name and the skill verifies official author guidelines, submission systems, and fee pages online, then generates a KnowJournal-{journal}.md report. It covers article types, word limits, figures, references, and cover letter requirements with cited sources.

How to find community reviews and review speed for a journal?

The skill aggregates author experiences from SciRev, LetPub, forums, and blogs into a dedicated community section of the report. Community feedback is kept separate from official policy, and if too few reviews exist the report states that explicitly instead of fabricating experiences.

Can I research requirements for a specific article type like Review or Brief Communication?

Yes, specify the target article type when invoking the skill and it prioritizes that type's official section headings, word counts, abstract format, keywords, figures, and reference limits. If unspecified, it selects two to three common official article types to expand.

What happens if the journal website cannot be found or accessed?

The skill cross-locates the journal via publisher pages, ISSN, NLM Catalog, DOAJ, and Crossref. If the journal still cannot be confirmed, it stops and asks you to confirm the target journal rather than producing an unverified report.

Where are intermediate research files stored during the investigation?

All intermediate files such as web excerpts, drafts, and sources.json are isolated in a hidden .bensz-api task workspace under the current directory. Only the final KnowJournal Markdown report is delivered to your working directory or a path you specify.
