Individual skill
science-aaas
Prepare manuscripts for Science and the Science family of journals (Science, Science Advances, Science Translational Medicine, Science Robotics, Science Immunology, Science Signaling), covering Research Article vs Report formats, abstracts and one-sentence summaries, reference and notes style, Supplementary Materials, data/code policies, figure requirements and the initial-submission vs revision workflow. Use when targeting a Science journal, converting a manuscript to Science style, or checking a submission against Science author instructions.

# Science Family Journals
## Workflow
1. Identify the exact journal and article type, open its current author guidelines, and fill in the limits table below. Never rely on remembered limits.
2. Check whether a format-free first submission is allowed. If it is, spend effort on content and mandatory statements rather than layout.
3. Restructure the manuscript into the venue's front matter and sections (see below).
4. Prepare the required statements, figures and supplementary files.
5. Run the checklist, then assemble the submission package: manuscript, source files, figures, declarations and cover letter.
