The Lancet Submission Guide
Evaluates manuscript fit, reporting compliance, and framing strategies for clinical medicine and global-health submissions to The Lancet.
The Lancet Submission Guide is a specialized Claude Code skill designed for medical researchers and global-health authors targeting The Lancet. It evaluates clinical trials, systematic reviews, and epidemiological studies against the journal's rigorous standards for practice-changing and policy-changing evidence. The skill provides step-by-step guidance on reporting standards (CONSORT, PRISMA, STROBE), required sections like the 'Added value of this study' panel, data-sharing disclosures, and desk-reject risk heuristics, while suggesting alternative target journals across The Lancet specialty family, NEJM, JAMA, or The BMJ when appropriate.
