Add Journal Profile (add-journal)

Extracts journal metadata from an author-guidelines page and generates two canonical profiles — a detailed writing profile and a compact journal-matching profile.

EducationIntermediate★ 262⑂ 63AI score 8/10Last updated: Aug 19, 2026

What it does

  • Uses the journal's Author Guidelines URL as the primary source to extract metadata: ISSN, publisher, impact factor, word limits per manuscript type, abstract structure, statistical reporting rules, figure specs, and AI-disclosure policy.
  • Produces two artifacts: a detailed write-paper profile (11 canonical sections, ~100–150 lines) and a compact find-journal profile (5 sections, ~30 lines).
  • Enforces a gated workflow — duplicate check → metadata confirmation gate → profile review gate — and writes no files until you approve.
  • Separates public (contributed upstream) from private (local-only) storage tiers, and requires unverified fields to be tagged [TODO: verify] / [VERIFY] so fabricated numbers never reach a manuscript.

Who it's for

  • Medical and health-science researchers or graduate students submitting to peer-reviewed journals.
  • Users of the medsci-skills suite (write-paper, find-journal) building their own target-journal database.
  • Labs standardizing submission-requirement records across their target journals.

Examples

  1. "Add a profile for Journal of Clinical Oncology" with the guidelines link → duplicate check, metadata table for review, then both profile files are written after approval.
  2. Login-gated guidelines page: paste the relevant sections and the skill builds the profile from that text only, with no inference.
  3. Batch mode: register five journals in one session — duplicate checks first, per-journal review gates, then a single file-writing pass at the end.

Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code

Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart.
Copy the skills/add-journal folder from the GitHub repo Aperivue/medsci-skills into my ~/.claude/skills/add-journal/.
When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.

Install with a command instead

git clone https://github.com/Aperivue/medsci-skills.git && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r medsci-skills/skills/* ~/.claude/skills/

⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.

  1. Open a terminal.
  2. Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/Aperivue/medsci-skills.git
  3. Create the skills directory: mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
  4. Copy the skills over: cp -r medsci-skills/skills/* ~/.claude/skills/
    • This skill reads sibling folders (write-paper, find-journal), so copy the whole set, not just one folder.
  5. Restart Claude Code, then run /skills or type "add journal" to confirm it is detected.
  6. When invoking it, supply the journal name plus the Author Guidelines URL, and choose the public or private storage tier.
