Encodes the journal's fit, the materials-and-waste circularity contribution bar, material-flow-analysis expectations, house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.9k 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

  • Targeting Resources
  • Conservation & Recycling
  • Deciding whether a resource-efficiency/circular-economy manuscript fits this venue

Example prompts

  • “/resources-conservation-and-recycling”

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

Resources Conservation And Recycling loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 92 tokens; SKILL.md has 750 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~92
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.9k

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 Resources, Conservation & Recycling or deciding whether a resource-efficiency/circular-economy manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, the materials-and-waste circularity contribution bar, material-flow-analysis expectations, house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.

Resources, Conservation & Recycling (resources-conservation-and-recycling)

Journal positioning

Resources, Conservation & Recycling (RCR) is the Elsevier journal for resource efficiency, waste management, recycling, and the circular economy of materials — material-flow and substance-flow analysis, recycling and resource-recovery technologies and systems, and the conservation and reuse of materials. Its defining expectation is a materials-and-waste circularity contribution: a study that quantifies, improves, or systematizes how materials are conserved, recovered, recycled, or kept in productive use. Relative to the Journal of Cleaner Production's broader cleaner-production/sustainability remit, RCR is anchored in the physical reality of materials and waste flows. A general sustainability-management essay, or a recycling case with no quantified material outcome, is a weak 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 RCR submission guidance.

When to trigger

  • The author names Resources, Conservation & Recycling and wants a fit/framing check for a resource-efficiency or recycling paper.
  • A material-flow, recycling-technology, or resource-recovery study must be re-framed around a quantified materials-circularity contribution.
  • The author is deciding between RCR and the Journal of Cleaner Production, or between RCR and a process-engineering venue.
  • The author needs RCR's materials/waste-circularity bar (MFA/SFA, recovery yields) and desk-reject heuristics.

Scope & topic fit

  • Material-flow analysis (MFA) and substance-flow analysis (SFA): stocks, flows, losses, and efficiency at product, sector, urban, national, or global scale.
  • Recycling and resource-recovery technologies and systems: collection, sorting, processing, and upgrading of post-consumer and industrial materials, with quantified yields and quality.
  • Circular-economy strategies for materials: reuse, remanufacturing, urban mining, and closing material loops, with measured circularity indicators.
  • Waste management systems and their resource, environmental, and economic performance.
  • Critical-materials, secondary-resource, and by-product valorization with quantitative recovery and quality outcomes.
  • Indicators, accounting frameworks, and data infrastructure for measuring material circularity and resource efficiency.

Method & evidence bar

  • The contribution must deliver a quantified materials/waste-circularity result: flows, recovery rates, recycled-content, losses, or resource-efficiency gains, not qualitative claims.
  • MFA/SFA studies must state system boundaries, reference year, data sources and quality, mass-balance closure, and uncertainty in the flows.
  • Recycling/recovery technology claims require measured yields, product quality, and where relevant energy and reagent inputs, benchmarked against current practice.
  • Circularity indicators must be defined and reproducible; avoid ad-hoc metrics without justification or comparability.
  • Systems, scenario, and policy analyses need defensible data, baseline comparison, and sensitivity/uncertainty treatment.
  • Conclusions about resource savings must follow from the quantified balance, not from optimistic extrapolation of a lab-scale result.

Structure & house style

  • Standard research-article format; the journal also publishes reviews and shorter formats — re-check current article types and length on the live guide.
  • The introduction must frame the materials/waste-circularity gap and the quantified contribution, not a generic sustainability motivation.
  • Methods must make the material accounting reproducible — boundaries, data, mass balance, and uncertainty for MFA/SFA; experimental detail and yields for recovery technology.
  • Figures should be flow- and balance-oriented (Sankey diagrams, stock/flow accounts, recovery-yield comparisons), with full inventories and data in SI.
  • Graphical abstract and highlights are expected; re-check current specifications on the live guide.

Official-submission checklist

  • Before giving submission-ready advice, read ../../resources/source-basis.md and ../../resources/official-source-map.md; start from the Elsevier anchors, then cite the current Resources, Conservation & Recycling page you checked.
  • Search the live site for "Resources, Conservation and Recycling guide for authors" and follow the current Elsevier version.
  • Re-check article types, length, abstract, and graphical-abstract/highlights requirements.
  • Confirm MFA/SFA reporting expectations (boundaries, reference year, mass-balance closure, uncertainty).
  • Re-check data-availability, flow/inventory data-table deposition, and supplementary-data policy.
  • 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

  • The result is a quantified materials/waste-circularity outcome (flows, yields, losses, recycled content).
  • MFA/SFA reports boundaries, reference year, data quality, mass-balance closure, and uncertainty.
  • Recovery/recycling technology yields and product quality are measured and benchmarked.
  • Circularity indicators are defined, justified, and reproducible.
  • Resource-saving conclusions follow from the quantified balance, not lab-scale extrapolation.
  • Highlights, graphical abstract, and reproducible accounting are prepared per the live guide.

Common desk-reject triggers

  • A general sustainability or management essay with no quantified material flow or recovery result.
  • MFA/SFA with undefined boundaries, no mass-balance closure, or no uncertainty.
  • Recycling-technology claims with no measured yield, quality, or benchmark to current practice.
  • Ad-hoc circularity metrics with no definition, justification, or comparability.
  • Lab-scale recovery extrapolated to system-wide resource savings without justification.
  • Scope mismatch: a broad cleaner-production/sustainability or pure-engineering paper with no materials-circularity contribution.

Re-routing decision

  • Broad cleaner-production/sustainability scope (technology, management, policy, LCA) → journal-of-cleaner-production.
  • Pollutant emission/impact of waste rather than material recovery → environmental-pollution.
  • Critical/invited synthesis of the field → annual-review-of-environment-and-resources.
  • Treatment-engineering/technology emphasis → environmental-science-and-technology.
  • Broad solutions/sustainability-science framing → nature-sustainability.
