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, delivering structured feedback before real submission. ## 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 based on the paper's field, producing five independent reports plus an Editorial Decision Letter and prioritized Revision Roadmap. - Six Operational Modes: Full review, re-review (revision verification with traceability matrix), quick assessment, methodology-focus, Socratic guided review, and calibration mode that measures reviewer FNR/FPR against a user-supplied gold set. - Use Case: A researcher finishing a manuscript on higher education policy pastes the paper and receives five reviewer reports from distinct perspectives, a consolidated editorial decision, and a revision checklist that feeds directly into a paper-revision workflow. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to review your paper by pasting the manuscript text or providing the file, optionally specifying a mode such as quick, methodology-focus, or re-review.

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

Paste your manuscript or provide the file and ask for a review. The skill identifies your paper's field, configures five reviewer personas, and returns five independent reports plus an editorial decision and revision roadmap.

What review modes does academic-paper-reviewer support?

It supports six modes: full review, re-review for verifying revisions, quick 15-minute assessment, methodology-focus, Socratic guided review, and calibration mode that measures reviewer accuracy against a labeled gold set of papers.

Can I verify that my revisions addressed the reviewer comments?

Yes, use re-review mode with the original revision roadmap, revised manuscript, and optional response letter. It produces a traceability matrix verifying each concern against the revision and issues a new editorial decision.

Does the reviewer edit or rewrite my manuscript?

No, the skill enforces a strict read-only constraint. Reviewers produce separate reports, decisions, and roadmaps but never modify the submitted manuscript itself.

How accurate are the simulated reviewer's scores?

Calibration mode measures the reviewer's false-negative rate, false-positive rate, and balanced accuracy against 5-20 papers you label with known outcomes. The resulting error profile attaches as a confidence disclosure to subsequent reviews in the session.

When should I not use simulated peer review?

Do not use it for writing or revising papers, which belongs to a paper-writing skill, or for open-ended research investigation. It evaluates completed manuscripts rather than generating content.
