English Humanities Journal Skills

English Humanities Journal Skills — 36 flagship humanities journals

License: MIT Index Claude Code

English | 简体中文

An opinionated agent skill stack for 36 flagship English-language humanities journals — the category the existing breadth bundles leave thin. It covers the leading venues in history (The American Historical Review, Past & Present, The Journal of Modern History), philosophy (The Philosophical Review, Mind, Noûs, Ethics, Philosophy & Public Affairs), literary studies (PMLA, Critical Inquiry, New Literary History, Representations), classics (The Classical Quarterly, The Journal of Roman Studies), art and architectural history (The Art Bulletin, Art History, October, The Burlington Magazine), religious studies, linguistics (Language, Linguistic Inquiry), and musicology and aesthetics.

This is the humanities sibling of English-SocialScience-Journal-Skills and English-NaturalScience-Journal-Skills. Like them, it ships one self-contained fit-and-house-style skill per journal, plus en-humanities-journal-workflow for routing. Each journal skill helps answer: is my argument on-target for this venue, how should it be framed, what command of sources and which theoretical idiom does it expect, and what official submission details (article type, citation style, anonymization, image permissions) must be re-checked?

Several of these flagships also ship as first-party depth packs in the parent repo (The Art Bulletin, Critical Inquiry, PMLA, Mind, The American Historical Review); they are covered here as quick fit cards too — exactly as american-economic-review is covered both ways.

Routing workflow (en-humanities-journal-workflow) 1

How to use

  1. Route first. Start from en-humanities-journal-workflow to classify your manuscript by sub-field, contribution type, and approach, and get a ranked shortlist.
  2. Fit second. Open the single-journal skill for your top candidate to test scope fit, argument framing, source/evidence expectations, the theoretical idiom, house style, and the likely desk-reject triggers.
  3. Re-check official rules last. Every skill ends with an official-submission checklist. Before submitting, open the journal's current submission guidelines and style sheet (see resources/official-source-map.md) — the live page always wins, and presses/styles do change.

Design rules (shared with the sibling bundles)

  • No volatile facts. No impact factors, acceptance rates, ISSNs, exact limits, fees, or editor names.
  • No fabricated citations or quotations. Scholarship is referred to generically; no claims about specific articles or a living scholar's positions.
  • Stable conventions only. Durable structural facts (society/press affiliations, field citation styles — Chicago / MLA / discipline styles, double-blind review, image permissions) are used where they help fit.
  • Official page wins. If a live instruction conflicts with a skill, follow the official instruction.
