SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Authors submitting to journals rarely get realistic pre-submission feedback on methodology, domain contribution, and argument weaknesses. This Skill simulates a complete journal peer review process so authors can identify and fix problems before real submission. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Multi-Perspective Review Panel: Runs five role-separated reviewer seats (Journal-Fit Reviewer, methodology, domain, cross-disciplinary perspective, and a Devil's Advocate) plus an editorial synthesizer that produces an Editorial Decision Letter and Revision Roadmap. - Six Operational Modes: full review, re-review (verification of revisions), quick assessment, methodology-focus, Socratic guided review, and calibration mode for measuring reviewer accuracy against gold-standard papers. - Use Case: Paste a draft manuscript before journal submission; the Skill detects the paper's field, configures field-specific reviewer personas, and returns five review reports plus an Accept/Minor/Major/Reject decision with a structured revision roadmap. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to review this paper and paste your manuscript text or attach the file to receive a full multi-reviewer report and editorial decision.

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

Paste your manuscript and ask for a paper review. The Skill detects the field, configures four reviewer personas plus a fixed Devil's Advocate, and returns five review reports with 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 adjudicated gold papers.

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

Yes, re-review mode checks revisions against the original roadmap using a traceability matrix with author claims and verification columns. It runs a three-gate evidence-before-persuasion protocol and issues a new decision or deferral.

Does the simulated peer review modify my manuscript?

No, a read-only constraint forbids reviewers from editing the manuscript. All output is produced as separate documents: review reports, decision letters, and revision roadmaps.

What are the limitations of simulated peer review?

The five seats are role-separated personas, not independent error processes, and live reviews are marked NOT_CALIBRATED. It cannot replace real journal review, invent evidence, or guarantee acceptance outcomes.
