academic-research-journal

academic-research-journal is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from oghie/skillsets. It costs 63 tokens per session (1,037 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for planning, writing, reviewing, and improving academic research papers and evidence reviews. It covers research questions, study design, data, measurement, analysis, citations, and the strength of conclusions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design studies, review literature, prepare systematic reviews or meta-analyses, revise papers, evaluate sources, answer reviewers, and assess publication readiness.
Why use it?
It helps check whether a paper’s claims are supported by its methods and evidence, rather than judging it only by its writing. It also exposes gaps and limitations before submission.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

academic-research-journal scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/manuscript_static_audit.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Academic Research Journal

Core Rule

Evaluate and build academic work as a chain of claims: problem -> literature gap -> question -> design -> data -> measurement -> analysis -> interpretation -> contribution. Do not reward polish when the research logic is weak, and do not dismiss useful work merely because realistic constraints create limitations.

First Pass

  1. Classify the task: evaluate, design, draft, revise, review, respond to reviewers, audit sources, or plan evidence synthesis.
  2. Classify the article type: quantitative, qualitative, mixed methods, experimental, quasi-experimental, survey, field, case study, action research, policy/program evaluation, computational/big-data, literature review, systematic review, meta-analysis, theory, commentary, critique, or non-academic essay.
  3. Extract the research skeleton: problem, purpose, question, theory, population/case, sample/data, measures, design, analysis, findings, limitations, contribution, and claim strength.
  4. Identify the intended inference: exploratory insight, description, association, causality, mechanism, prediction, interpretation, policy/practice decision, or cumulative evidence.
  5. Define the evidence needed and mark gaps as I/I = insufficient information; mark inapplicable criteria as N/A.

Required Reads By Task

  • Existing paper, essay, or article evaluation: tasks/evaluate-existing-work.md, references/research-quality-principles.md, and references/journal-readiness-scorecard.md.
  • Article type or methods classification: references/article-type-matrix.md.
  • Section-level critique: references/section-evaluation-matrix.md.
  • Sampling, measures, experiments, qualitative, quantitative, mixed methods, survey, or program evaluation: references/methods-evaluation-matrix.md.
  • Literature review, systematic review, or meta-analysis: tasks/evidence-synthesis.md and references/evidence-synthesis-and-review.md.
  • Drafting a manuscript, essay, thesis chapter, or journal article: tasks/manuscript-production.md.
  • Research design or empirical validation planning: tasks/design-research-project.md.
  • Reviewer simulation, revision strategy, or response letter: tasks/revision-and-peer-review.md.
  • Reference, citation, source, ethics, or integrity audit: tasks/source-and-reference-audit.md and references/integrity-and-source-audit.md.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

academic-research-journal is a skill published in the GitHub repository oghie/skillsets (9 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 63 tokens to every session and 1,037 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
