SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Authors lack access to realistic pre-submission peer review, so methodological flaws, literature gaps, and weak arguments are only discovered after journal submission. This Skill simulates a complete journal review process with five independent reviewer personas before you submit. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Multi-Perspective Review Panel: Dynamically configures an Editor-in-Chief, three peer reviewers (methodology, domain, cross-disciplinary), and a Devil's Advocate that challenges core arguments and detects logical fallacies. - Six Operational Modes: full review, re-review (revision verification), quick assessment, methodology-focus, Socratic guided review, and calibration mode that measures reviewer FNR/FPR against a gold paper set. - Structured Editorial Output: Produces an Editorial Decision Letter with consensus analysis, disagreement arbitration, and a prioritized Revision Roadmap compatible with downstream revision workflows. - Use Case: Before submitting a manuscript, run a full review to receive five independent reports, an accept/revise/reject decision, and a checklist of required and suggested revisions with effort estimates. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to review your paper by pasting the manuscript text or providing the file path.

FAQPage Schema
How do I get a simulated peer review of my paper before submission?

Provide your manuscript text or file and request a review. The skill identifies the paper's field, configures five reviewer personas (EIC, three peer reviewers, Devil's Advocate), and returns five independent reports plus an editorial decision and revision roadmap.

What review modes does academic-paper-reviewer support?

Six modes: full (complete panel review), re-review (verifies revisions addressed comments), quick (15-minute EIC assessment), methodology-focus (methods and statistics only), guided (Socratic dialogue), and calibration (measures reviewer accuracy against labeled papers).

Can the reviewer verify that my revisions addressed the review comments?

Yes, re-review mode takes the original revision roadmap, revised manuscript, and optional response letter, then produces a traceability matrix verifying each concern against the revised text plus any residual issues and a new decision.

Does the simulated reviewer modify my manuscript directly?

No. A read-only constraint prohibits reviewers from editing the manuscript. All output is produced as separate review reports, decision letters, and revision roadmaps; the paper itself is never rewritten.

How accurate are the review scores from an LLM reviewer?

Calibration mode measures this directly: run it against 5-20 papers with known accept/reject outcomes to compute FNR, FPR, balanced accuracy, and per-dimension calibration error, which then attaches as a confidence disclosure to subsequent reviews.

When should I not use simulated peer review?

Do not use it for writing or revising papers (use a writing skill instead) or for open-ended research investigation. It evaluates completed manuscripts; it does not conduct literature research or generate paper content.
