What it does

Lang Submission is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when running the final pre-submission preflight for Language (LSA) via the Cambridge University Press ScholarOne portal — double-anonymous anonymization, the section and word-limit rules (General Research Article ≤18,000 words; Review Article ≤5,000), the abstract, Leipzig glossing, IPA, the Language Style Sheet, figure alt text, and open-access status. Final checks; it does not draft content.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files (for example `templates/checklist.md` and `templates/manuscript_template.md`).

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

  • The section and word-limit rules (General Research Article ≤18
  • Review Article ≤5
  • Leipzig glossing
  • The Language Style Sheet

Example prompts

  • “/lang-submission”

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

Lang Submission loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 104 tokens; SKILL.md has 722 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~104
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.8k

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 running the final pre-submission preflight for Language (LSA) via the Cambridge University Press ScholarOne portal — double-anonymous anonymization, the section and word-limit rules (General Research Article ≤18,000 words; Review Article ≤5,000), the abstract, Leipzig glossing, IPA, the Language Style Sheet, figure alt text, and open-access status. Final checks; it does not draft content.

Submission Preflight (lang-submission)

The last check before you press submit on Cambridge University Press ScholarOne — the portal for Language since January 2026, when the journal moved to CUP and became fully open access from Volume 102. Language is double-anonymous, so the most common avoidable failures are an under-anonymized manuscript and self-citations that unmask the author. Also verify the section and word limits, the Language Style Sheet citations, and the Leipzig glossing / IPA before upload. Verify all volatile items on the live CUP/LSA author pages immediately before submission.

When to trigger

  • "Submitting tomorrow" — last pass before upload
  • Unsure which section, files, or metadata ScholarOne expects
  • Confirming anonymization, word count, abstract, glossing, style, and alt text are all handled

Process facts (verify volatile items on the official page)

  • Publisher / portal: Cambridge University Press; submit via ScholarOne (since Jan 2026). An Overleaf template is available; ScholarOne accepts LaTeX and Word workflows — confirm current accepted formats.
  • Access: fully open access from Volume 102 (2026); check the current APC / waiver and any read-and-publish agreement on the CUP page.
  • Review model: double-anonymous — remove author names, affiliations, acknowledgments, and identifying self-references; every effort must prevent authors and reviewers from identifying each other.
  • Editors: Shelome Gooden and Michael Putnam (verify the current masthead before naming an editor in any submission-facing document; editorship rotates).
  • Sections & limits:
    • General Research Article — up to 18,000 words inclusive of notes, charts, tables, and appendices but excluding references; submissions over 12,000 words are assessed for appropriateness and may face more stringent review.
    • Research Report — a smaller, targeted contribution (shorter; confirm the current cap).
    • Review Article — up to 5,000 words (excluding references).
    • Discussion Notes, Reviews/Book Notices, and the four online-only sections (Perspectives, Phonological Analysis, Language and Public Policy, Teaching Linguistics).
  • Abstract: required; short (target ~150 words — confirm the current limit on the author page).
  • House style: the Language Style Sheet / Unified Style Sheet for Linguistics (author-date); not APA or Chicago.
  • Examples: numbered; Leipzig interlinear glossing; IPA in a Unicode font.
  • Figures: provide alt text / descriptive captions; vector where possible.
  • Data: include a data-availability statement; share analysis data/code where ethical (see lang-data-and-transparency).

Preflight checklist

Section & length
  • Correct section selected (General Research Article / Research Report / Review Article / other)
  • Within the section's word limit; General Research Article word count computed on the inclusive rule
  • Over 12,000 words only if the length is genuinely earned
Anonymity (double-anonymous)
  • No author names, affiliations, or acknowledgments in the manuscript
  • Self-citations worded to avoid unmasking ("Author 2020", neutral phrasing)
  • Identifying file metadata stripped; a separate title page if the portal requires it
Show full SKILL.md (303 more words)Show less
Content & format
  • Abstract present, within the current word target, states question + data + finding
  • Language Style Sheet citations and reference list (NOT APA/Chicago)
  • Numbered examples, aligned Leipzig glosses, abbreviations listed, correct IPA
  • Figure alt text / descriptive captions
  • Data-availability statement accurate (no over-stated mandate)
  • Not under review elsewhere (concurrent submission violates publishing ethics)

Avoidable-failure triage (what bounces a submission, and the fix)

Failure at submissionFix before upload
Author identity leaks (names, acknowledgments, metadata, unmasking self-cites)anonymize text + strip metadata + neutralize self-references
Over the word limit / unearned length past 12,000cut to the section cap; earn every page
APA/Chicago referencesconvert to the Language/Unified Style Sheet
Misaligned glosses / faked IPAfix Leipzig alignment; use a Unicode IPA font
Descriptive data dump, no theoretical stakesframe the general claim (route to lang-theory-building)

Calibration (Language-specific posture, hedged)

Reflects Language's house and culture, not universal rules; confirm on the live pages. The most common avoidable failure is an under-anonymized file under double-anonymous review; the second is a word count that misreads the inclusive General Research Article rule (notes and tables count; references do not). Illustrative: a 12,800-word General Research Article catches three triage issues at preflight — an acknowledgments footnote naming a grant and a collaborator, references still in APA from a prior subfield-journal attempt, and two figures with no alt text — and after fixes the file is anonymous, Style-Sheet-conformant, and within a defensible length.

Anti-patterns

  • Leaving author identifiers in the text, acknowledgments, or file metadata (breaks double-anonymous)
  • Miscomputing the inclusive word limit or pushing past 12,000 without earning it
  • APA/Chicago references instead of the Language/Unified Style Sheet
  • Submitting a descriptive data dump with no theoretical claim (a desk return)
  • Submitting while the paper is under review at another journal
