What it does

Gec Review Process is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use to understand how Global Environmental Change (GEC) evaluates a manuscript — double-anonymized review, editorial screening for scope and social-science fit, the role of multiple external reviewers, and the decision categories. Sets expectations and shapes the paper to survive review; it does not contact editors.

Its SKILL.md is about 830 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

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

  • Understand how Global Environmental Change (GEC) evaluates a manuscript — double-anonymized review
  • Editorial screening for scope and social-science fit
  • The role of multiple external reviewers
  • The decision categories

Example prompts

  • “/gec-review-process”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Double-anonymized. Reviewers do not know the authors and authors do not know reviewers; submit a
  2. Editorial screening first. Editors assess fit with the human-and-policy-dimensions scope,
  3. External review. Suitable submissions are typically sent to a minimum of two reviewers for
  4. Appeals. A formal appeal can be submitted if it meets Elsevier's appeal-policy requirements; only

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

Gec Review Process loads about 829 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 84 tokens; SKILL.md has 314 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~84
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~829

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.

Review Process (gec-review-process)

Knowing how GEC screens and decides lets you pre-empt the failure modes before submitting. GEC uses double-anonymized review and screens first for scope and social-science fit — the most common avoidable rejection is a paper without a genuine human-dimensions contribution. Process facts were refreshed from the official Guide for Authors on 2026-06-20.

When to trigger

  • Before submitting, to stress-test against editorial-screening grounds
  • Interpreting a decision letter and setting expectations
  • Understanding what interdisciplinary reviewers are likely to weigh
  • Deciding whether the social-science contribution is strong enough to clear the desk

How GEC review works (verified 2026-06-20; re-confirm volatile items)

  1. Double-anonymized. Reviewers do not know the authors and authors do not know reviewers; submit a separate title page and anonymized manuscript (see gec-submission).
  2. Editorial screening first. Editors assess fit with the human-and-policy-dimensions scope, the presence of a significant social-science component, sufficient significance, and adequate engagement with the relevant literatures. Out-of-scope or natural-science-only papers are screened out.
  3. External review. Suitable submissions are typically sent to a minimum of two reviewers for independent expert assessment, usually with interdisciplinary coverage.
  4. Appeals. A formal appeal can be submitted if it meets Elsevier's appeal-policy requirements; only one appeal per submission is considered, and the appeal decision is final.

Shape the paper to pass

  • Make the human/policy contribution and scope fit explicit (avoids the most common screen-out).
  • Engage the relevant interdisciplinary literatures (a single-silo paper invites a fit objection).
  • Anticipate reviewers from different disciplines — define terms, justify methods on their own terms.
  • Clear ethics/IRB and human-subjects compliance and the data statement up front.

Anti-patterns

  • Submitting a natural-science / biophysical paper with no social-science contribution (scope screen-out)
  • Ignoring an obvious related literature on the human-dimensions or domain side
  • Assuming a single-discipline framing will satisfy interdisciplinary reviewers
  • Expecting a fast turnaround; plan for a multi-month review

Output format

【Scope / fit check】human-dimensions + policy relevance clear? [Y/N]
【Social-science component】significant and central? [Y/N]
【Literature engaged】interdisciplinary? [Y/N]
【Review model】double-anonymized — manuscript anonymized? [Y/N]
【Realistic outcome】reject / major revision / minor revision
【Next】gec-submission (or gec-revision-and-rebuttal if decided)
