What it does

Ijoc Literature Positioning is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when staking the computational/methodological contribution of an INFORMS Journal on Computing (IJOC) manuscript against OR/MS and CS prior art. Positions the advance relative to the right baselines and the right frontier; it does not invent citations.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k 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 Marketing & SEO, covering Positioning and messaging, Intellectual property and Citation management. 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

  • Tasks that involve Positioning and messaging
  • Tasks that involve Intellectual property

Example prompts

  • “/ijoc-literature-positioning”

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

Ijoc Literature Positioning loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 71 tokens; SKILL.md has 718 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~71
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k

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.

Literature Positioning (ijoc-literature-positioning)

When to trigger

  • Reviewers say "the contribution over existing methods is unclear" or "this is incremental"
  • Your related-work section cites application papers but not the algorithmic/computational prior art you actually compete with
  • You straddle OR and CS literatures and are unsure which frontier you are advancing
  • A referee names a recent method you did not compare against, and you must decide whether it is the relevant baseline

Positioning IJOC papers — two frontiers, one claim

An IJOC paper usually advances against two literatures at once: the OR/MS literature that owns the problem and the computing literature that owns the method. Your positioning must make clear which frontier you push and by how much, in computational terms. The decisive move is to identify the state-of-the-art method you must beat or match, cite it precisely, and commit to it as an experimental baseline. Vague positioning ("little work exists") reads as not having read the field and is a fast path to desk rejection by an Area Editor who knows it well.

Your claim typeThe prior art you must engageThe baseline this implies
New exact method, larger instancesbest published exact method for this problemre-run or cite its reported results on shared instances
New formulation, tighter boundsstrongest existing formulation / relaxationroot-gap and node-count comparison
New heuristic, better quality/timethe leading heuristic and the best exact boundgap-to-optimal and time-to-target
ML-for-OR, learns to solve fasterboth the OR baseline and prior learning approachesbeat the OR method and prior learning
New simulation/estimation methodprior estimators for the same estimandvariance/cost at equal accuracy
Software/toolingprior tools and the methods they implementfeature/performance comparison, not just existence

Engaging recent work fairly

IJOC reviewers are active researchers in the chosen area; they will know the last two years of work. Cite the most recent competing methods, not only the classics, and state honestly where a competitor is still better (e.g., "Method X remains faster on dense instances; we win on sparse and large"). Honest scoping is more credible than a blanket "we outperform all." When a competitor's code is in the IJOC GitHub repository or a public repo, plan to actually run it rather than quoting stale numbers from different hardware.

Position so the reader sees why this is IJOC and not a sibling: emphasize the computational/methodological delta. If the related work reads like an Operations Research model survey, the computing contribution is buried; if it reads like a CS algorithms paper with no OR task, the OR relevance is missing. The synthesis — "here is the OR problem, here is the computing frontier, here is the gap we close" — is the IJOC signature.

Using the IJOC corpus and deposit as evidence

Two underused positioning moves are specific to IJOC. First, the IJOC Software and Data Repository means many recent competing methods ship with runnable code; cite those and, where feasible, re-run them on your instances rather than quoting heterogeneous published numbers — a re-run comparison is far more persuasive to a referee who knows the field. Second, IJOC's "Test of Time" award and its published archive signal which methods the area considers canonical; engaging those anchors your claim in the literature the Area Editor and reviewers actually hold as the bar. Position against the strongest reproducible competitor, not merely the most cited.

Checklist

  • The single state-of-the-art method you compete with is named and cited precisely
  • Both the problem (OR/MS) literature and the method (computing) literature are engaged
  • Recent (last ~2 years) competing methods are cited, not only canonical ones
  • Each claimed advantage is tied to a baseline you will actually run or fairly quote
  • Where a competitor is still better, the paper says so and scopes the claim
  • The positioning makes the IJOC (not OR/MS/MPC/IJOO/CS) fit obvious
  • No invented or padded citations; every cited result is checkable

Anti-patterns

  • "Little/no prior work exists" on a topic the Area Editor has published in
  • Comparing only to old baselines while a current method dominates the field
  • Citing application papers as if they were your methodological competitors
  • Quoting a competitor's runtimes from a different machine as if comparable
  • A related-work section that could belong to Operations Research or a CS venue with the journal name swapped
  • Overclaiming "we outperform all existing methods" without per-regime honesty
