History and Theory Journal Submission Helper
Evaluates manuscript fit, conceptual rigor, and submission readiness for the prestigious meta-level journal History and Theory.
The History and Theory Claude Code skill assists academic researchers in preparing, framing, and evaluating manuscripts for submission to History and Theory (published for Wesleyan University by Wiley). It evaluates whether an article meets the journal's rigorous meta-level theoretical standard—focusing on historical thinking, epistemology, causation, and historiographical theory rather than purely archival case studies. The skill delivers a structured submission evaluation covering argument framing, desk-reject triggers, house style compliance (Chicago footnotes and double-blind anonymization), and re-routing suggestions to alternative top-tier history journals.
