- ▌ Nejm Fit · brycewang-stanfordUse this first, before any writing, to stress-test whether a clinical study clears NEJM's bar — practice-changing clinical impact, methodological rigor, and generalizability. Decides NEJM vs Lancet/JAMA vs a specialty journal.
- ▌ Nejm Ethics · brycewang-stanfordUse to confirm clinical ethics and research-integrity requirements for an NEJM submission — IRB/ethics-committee approval and informed consent per the Declaration of Helsinki, ICMJE conflict-of-interest disclosures and authorship criteria, the role-of-the-funding-source statement, and the ICMJE data-sharing statement.
- ▌ Nejm Writing · brycewang-stanfordUse to structure and tighten an NEJM Original Article into terse IMRAD — short main text (~2700 words), limited references, claim-first results, and a sober discussion with explicit limitations and calibrated clinical implications. Enforces NEJM's plain, concise house style.
- ▌ Nejm Abstract · brycewang-stanfordUse to write the NEJM structured abstract — four headed sections (Background, Methods, Results, Conclusions), ≤250 words, with the trial registration number and funding source, leading the Results with the primary outcome reported as an effect size with a 95% CI. Late-stage polish skill.
- ▌ Nejm Citation · brycewang-stanfordUse to convert references to NEJM's Vancouver / ICMJE numbered style — numbered in order of appearance, limited author lists then et al., NLM journal abbreviations, and a capped reference count. Late-stage style pass.
- ▌ Nejm Rebuttal · brycewang-stanfordUse after NEJM reviews arrive — often including a dedicated statistical reviewer and an editor letter — to triage the decision, answer statistical comments rigorously, and draft a point-by-point response that quotes each comment, the response, and the revised manuscript text. Do not run before the main text is actually revised.
- ▌ Nejm Workflow · brycewang-stanfordUse when deciding which nejm-* sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing a clinical manuscript from significance test through response to reviewers for The New England Journal of Medicine. Routes — it does not replace — the specialized skills.
