Learning & Documentation

Evaluates manuscript fit, methodological rigor, and AHA/ASA reporting compliance for submissions to the journal Stroke.

The Stroke Journal Submission Assistant guides researchers and clinician-scientists in preparing cerebrovascular manuscripts for the flagship American Heart Association/American Stroke Association (AHA/ASA) journal, Stroke. It evaluates study fit across clinical trials, observational cohorts, and preclinical neurovascular studies while checking adherence to EQUATOR reporting guidelines (CONSORT, STROBE, PRISMA, STARD, ARRIVE) and prospective registration requirements. By identifying desk-reject triggers like underpowered single-center designs or unvalidated biomarkers, this skill provides structured venue assessments, reframing suggestions, and re-routing recommendations to journals like Brain or JAMA Neurology.

Key Features

01Evaluates study alignment with Stroke and AHA/ASA journal editorial priorities
02Provides structured submission checklists tailored to clinical, translational, and preclinical stroke research
03Suggests alternative journal re-routing for general neurology, cardiology, or imaging-focused studies
041,074 GitHub stars
05Identifies common desk-reject risks such as lack of prospective trial registration or unvalidated surrogate endpoints
06Audits compliance with EQUATOR reporting guidelines like CONSORT, STROBE, PRISMA, and ARRIVE

Use Cases

01Assessing if an acute ischemic stroke trial or neurointerventional cohort meets the evidence bar for Stroke
02Pre-submission screening of translational stroke models against ARRIVE standards and preclinical rigor criteria
03Re-framing broad vascular or neurological research questions for a cerebrovascular-focused AHA/ASA readership
