Global Environmental Change Skills
Agent skill stack for manuscripts targeted at Global Environmental Change (GEC) — the leading international journal on the human and policy dimensions of global environmental change, published by Elsevier (ISSN 0959-3780) and submitted via Editorial Manager under double-blind peer review. GEC is interdisciplinary and social-science-leading: it publishes theoretically and empirically rigorous work
Skills in this plugin
12- ▌ Gec Workflow · brycewang-stanfordUse as the entry point for any Global Environmental Change (GEC) manuscript. Routes to the right GEC sub-skill based on where you are in the lifecycle and whether the paper fits a Research Article or a shorter format. GEC is interdisciplinary and social-science-leading; the router's first job is to make sure the human and policy dimensions are front and centre. It dispatches; it does not draft content.
- ▌ Gec Submission · brycewang-stanfordUse when running the final pre-submission preflight for Global Environmental Change (GEC) via Elsevier's online submission system — format selection, double-anonymized files, word and abstract caps, Highlights, the Data Availability Statement, declarations, and ORCID. Final checks; it does not draft content.
- ▌ Gec Data Analysis · brycewang-stanfordUse when executing and reporting the analysis for a Global Environmental Change (GEC) manuscript so it survives expert, interdisciplinary review — honest uncertainty, robustness, and triangulation appropriate to quantitative, qualitative, or mixed-methods work. Guides analysis norms; it does not fabricate results.
- ▌ Gec Writing Style · brycewang-stanfordUse when drafting or polishing the prose of a Global Environmental Change (GEC) manuscript so it reads for an interdisciplinary, policy-relevant audience within the word and abstract caps. GEC values clarity and rigor that travel across disciplines. Polishes the writing; it does not draft the analysis.
- ▌ Gec Review Process · brycewang-stanfordUse 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.
- ▌ Gec Research Design · brycewang-stanfordUse when defending the research design of a Global Environmental Change (GEC) manuscript — quantitative causal inference, qualitative case work and process tracing, experiments and surveys, or mixed-methods integration. GEC welcomes methodological pluralism but judges each tradition on its own terms. Strengthens the design; it does not write code.
- ▌ Gec Topic Selection · brycewang-stanfordUse when deciding whether an environmental-change project fits Global Environmental Change (GEC) and how to frame it. GEC publishes the human and policy dimensions of global environmental change and requires a significant social-science component, so the test is societal significance and policy relevance, not an environmental result alone. Helps frame the question; it does not collect data.
- ▌ Gec Figures And Tables · brycewang-stanfordUse when designing the figures, tables, framework diagrams, and maps for a Global Environmental Change (GEC) manuscript, plus the required Highlights. GEC reaches an interdisciplinary, policy-relevant audience, so exhibits must be self-contained and legible across disciplines. Improves exhibits; it does not fabricate data.
- ▌ Gec Conceptual Framework · brycewang-stanfordUse when building the conceptual or analytical framework for a Global Environmental Change (GEC) manuscript. GEC values theoretically rigorous, interdisciplinary work, so the framework must connect concepts (vulnerability, governance, transitions, socio-ecological systems) to the empirical analysis. Builds the framework; it does not run the analysis.
- ▌ Gec Revision And Rebuttal · brycewang-stanfordUse when writing the response to a Global Environmental Change (GEC) revise decision. GEC reviewers are interdisciplinary and often disagree across disciplines, so the response must convert each reviewer on their own terms without alienating the handling editor. Structures the response letter; it does not fabricate new results.
- ▌ Gec Literature Positioning · brycewang-stanfordUse when positioning a Global Environmental Change (GEC) manuscript against the relevant literatures. GEC is interdisciplinary, so the paper must engage more than one body of work — environmental social science, governance, the relevant domain literature — and speak across them. Shapes the framing and citations; it does not write the literature review.
- ▌ Gec Policy Relevance And Implications · brycewang-stanfordUse when articulating the real-world, policy, and practice implications of a Global Environmental Change (GEC) manuscript. GEC publishes the human and policy dimensions of environmental change, so genuine, evidence-grounded implications are part of the contribution — not a closing sentence. Sharpens the implications; it does not overstate them.
