What it does
The English Historical Review is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when targeting The English Historical Review (EHR) or deciding whether a British, European, or world history manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, its archival and empirical-rigor bar, primary-source and historiographical expectations, Chicago house style and double-blind norms, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k 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 Research & Science, covering Clinical and healthcare research. 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.

Example prompts

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
The English Historical Review loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 97 tokens; SKILL.md has 765 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

The English Historical Review (the-english-historical-review)
Journal positioning
The English Historical Review (EHR), published by Oxford University Press, is one of the oldest journals of historical scholarship and publishes research across British, European, and world history over a very wide chronological range — from the early medieval to the modern. Its defining expectation is archival and empirical rigor: an article should rest on a thorough, critically handled command of the primary record and contribute a precise, well-evidenced advance to historical knowledge, with its significance located accurately within the existing scholarship. EHR prizes exactness, documentary control, and an argument that the sources can fully sustain; sweeping interpretive claims that outrun the evidence, or essays light on primary research, are poor fits. This skill is a fit / venue-selection / re-framing aid. It does not replace the journal's current submission guidelines. Before submitting, re-check the live English Historical Review author instructions and style guide.
When to trigger
- The author names EHR for a British, European, or world history manuscript and wants a fit/framing check.
- An empirically strong study needs its precise contribution and historiographical location sharpened for a rigor-first venue.
- The author is choosing between EHR and a generalist (AHR), period-thematic, or area journal.
- The author needs EHR's archival/empirical-rigor bar and desk-reject heuristics.
Scope & topic fit
- British history across all periods — political, constitutional, ecclesiastical, social, and intellectual — grounded in the documentary record.
- European and world history over a wide chronological span, from the early medieval to the contemporary.
- Medieval and early-modern scholarship requiring command of manuscript, charter, or diplomatic sources and their editing problems.
- Religious, legal, and administrative history where precise documentary control is essential.
- Studies that establish, correct, or re-date a significant matter of fact or attribution through rigorous source work.
- Interpretive arguments that remain tightly disciplined by the evidence they rest on.
Method & evidence bar
- The contribution is a precise, well-evidenced advance in knowledge; state the specific point established and why it matters to the field.
- Primary-source command must be thorough and critical — manuscripts, records, or texts read with attention to provenance, transmission, and reliability.
- Historiographical positioning is exact: locate the contribution accurately within the existing scholarship, show what it adds or corrects, and engage the relevant specialist literature currently, accurately, and fairly.
- Interpretation is controlled by evidence; conclusions are proportioned strictly to what the sources sustain, and uncertainty is acknowledged.
- Documentary and philological detail (dating, attribution, editing) is handled to a high standard where the argument depends on it.
Structure & house style
- Long-form scholarly article with a disciplined argument; defer exact word limits and article types to the live guide.
- Chicago notes-and-bibliography style with full footnotes; manuscript and archival citations follow the journal's form, including repository, collection, and folio detail.
- Double-blind review: anonymize the manuscript — self-identifying citations and acknowledgements — per current policy.
- Prose is precise and evidence-led; non-English and pre-modern sources are quoted and translated or transcribed per policy.
- Tables, maps, or plates, where used, require permissions and meet the journal's specifications.

Official-submission checklist
- Before giving submission-ready advice, read
../../resources/source-basis.mdand../../resources/official-source-map.md; start from the OUP anchors, then cite the current English Historical Review page you checked. - Search the live site for "English Historical Review submission guidelines" and follow the current version.
- Re-check article types (articles, notes/documents where offered), word limits, the Chicago footnote form, and the abstract requirement.
- Confirm anonymization requirements for double-blind review.
- Re-check image/plate permissions and specifications, and the translation/transcription policy for non-English and manuscript sources.
- Re-check competing-interest, funding (if applicable), and AI-use disclosure, and any open-access terms.
- If the live official instructions conflict with this skill, the official instructions win.
Pre-submission self-check
- The specific contribution to knowledge is stated precisely and its significance is located accurately.
- Primary and manuscript sources are read critically, with provenance and reliability assessed.
- Conclusions are proportioned strictly to the evidence, and uncertainty is acknowledged.
- Documentary detail (dating, attribution, transcription) meets a high standard where load-bearing.
- The manuscript is anonymized for double-blind review per current policy.
- Chicago footnotes, any abstract, and translations/transcriptions are handled.
Common desk-reject triggers
- An essay light on primary research or resting on secondary paraphrase.
- Interpretive claims that outrun what the sources can sustain.
- Errors or imprecision in documentary handling (dating, attribution, citation) where the argument depends on it.
- No clearly stated, evidenced advance, or inaccurate/vague historiographical location — restating known matters without correcting or extending them.
- Wrong venue: a sweeping interpretive essay better suited to a problem-driven or theory journal.
Re-routing decision
- Discipline-wide significance for a generalist readership →
the-american-historical-review. - Problem-driven social/economic/cultural history across periods →
past-and-present. - Modern European focus with broad interpretive significance →
the-journal-of-modern-history. - Early-American / Atlantic-world history →
the-william-and-mary-quarterly. - Argument about historical method, explanation, or periodization →
history-and-theory.
