What it does

Field Crops Research is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when targeting Field Crops Research or deciding whether an agronomy / crop-physiology manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, the field-scale multi-environment and replication bar, data-reporting expectations, house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Databases, covering Database administration. The repository describes itself as: Journal-specific Claude Code/Codex skill packs covering mainstream journals — AER, QJE, Nature, Cell, 管理世界, 经济研究 & 200+ more — your fast track to getting published. | 覆盖主流期刊的… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Targeting Field Crops Research
  • Deciding whether an agronomy / crop-physiology manuscript fits this venue

Example prompts

  • “/field-crops-research”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 932eb23. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Field Crops Research loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 80 tokens; SKILL.md has 691 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~80
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.7k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Use when targeting Field Crops Research or deciding whether an agronomy / crop-physiology manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, the field-scale multi-environment and replication bar, data-reporting expectations, house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.

Field Crops Research (field-crops-research)

Journal positioning

Field Crops Research, published by Elsevier, is an agronomy and crop-physiology journal centred on field-scale crop performance: yield and its determinants, resource-use efficiency (water, nitrogen, radiation), cropping systems, crop modeling, and management across environments. Its defining expectation is rigorous, adequately replicated field experimentation that generalizes across environments — multi-site and/or multi-season evidence, or modeling validated against field data. A single site-year, unreplicated trial, or a pot/glasshouse study generalized to the field without field validation is a poor fit. This skill is a fit / venue-selection / re-framing tool. It does not replace the journal's current author guidelines. Before submitting, re-check the live Field Crops Research author guidance.

When to trigger

  • The author names Field Crops Research and wants a fit/framing check for a field-agronomy or crop-physiology paper.
  • A management, genotype, or resource-efficiency result must be framed for generalizability across environments rather than as a one-off trial.
  • The author is choosing between Field Crops Research, agronomy-for-sustainable-development, and agriculture-ecosystems-and-environment.
  • The author needs the venue's desk-reject heuristics around replication and field validity.

Scope & topic fit

  • Crop yield and yield-component determinants under field conditions across genotypes and environments.
  • Resource-use efficiency: water-, nitrogen-, and radiation-use efficiency and the trade-offs among them.
  • Cropping systems and management: rotations, intercropping, planting density, sowing date, and agronomic interventions evaluated in the field.
  • Crop physiology underpinning yield formation: phenology, source–sink relations, canopy and root function at field scale.
  • Crop simulation modeling calibrated and validated against field data, including genotype × environment × management analysis.
  • Yield-gap analysis and benchmarking across regions and production systems.

Method & evidence bar

  • The contribution must be field-relevant and generalizable: adequately replicated experiments across sites and/or seasons, or modeling validated on independent field data.
  • Experimental design must be sound: stated design (RCBD, split-plot, etc.), true replication, randomization, and appropriate error terms; pseudoreplication is disqualifying.
  • Statistics must match the design: mixed models for multi-environment data, correct treatment of site/year as random or fixed, and reported variance/uncertainty.
  • Yield and efficiency claims need full agronomic context: soil, weather, inputs, and management documented so results are interpretable and reproducible.
  • Models must report calibration/validation separately, skill metrics against measured data, and parameter sources; data and key code/inputs should be available per Elsevier policy.

Structure & house style

  • Standard IMRaD; the introduction must state the agronomic problem and the across-environment question, not just describe a local trial.
  • Materials and methods must fully document environments (soil, climate), design, replication, and management so the study is reproducible.
  • Figures/tables should carry the across-environment argument (G×E×M, response curves, yield-gap or efficiency comparisons) with variability shown.
  • A data-availability statement and complete agronomic metadata are expected; supplementary material carries site-by-site detail.

Official-submission checklist

  • Before giving submission-ready advice, read ../../resources/source-basis.md and ../../resources/official-source-map.md; start from the official source anchors, then cite the current Field Crops Research page you checked.
  • Search the live site for "Field Crops Research guide for authors" and follow the current Elsevier version.
  • Re-check article types, structure, word/figure expectations, and abstract format.
  • Confirm the data-availability/repository policy and reporting of environmental and management metadata.
  • Re-check competing-interests, funding, author-contribution, and AI-use disclosure, and open-access terms.
  • If the live official instructions conflict with this skill, the official instructions win.

Pre-submission self-check

  • Evidence spans multiple sites and/or seasons, or modeling is validated on independent field data.
  • The design has true replication and randomization; there is no pseudoreplication.
  • Statistics match the design (e.g., mixed models for multi-environment data) with uncertainty reported.
  • Soil, weather, inputs, and management are fully documented for reproducibility.
  • Models report calibration and validation separately with skill metrics against measured data.
  • Data-availability statement and agronomic metadata are prepared.

Common desk-reject triggers

  • A single site-year, unreplicated trial presented as a general agronomic finding.
  • A pot/glasshouse-only study generalized to the field with no field validation.
  • Pseudoreplication, or statistics that ignore site/year structure in multi-environment data.
  • Yield/efficiency claims with missing soil, weather, or management context.
  • A crop model reported without independent validation or skill metrics against field data.

Re-routing decision

  • Explicit sustainability framing, or review/meta-analysis of cropping systems → agronomy-for-sustainable-development.
  • Environmental fluxes (GHG, nutrient losses), biodiversity, or water quality dominant → agriculture-ecosystems-and-environment.
  • Soil-process mechanism (SOM, microbial, nutrient cycling) is the core → soil-biology-and-biochemistry.
  • Broad food-systems significance → nature-food.
  • Crop physiology/genetics with mechanistic plant-science reach → new-phytologist or the-plant-journal.
