SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill enables editors and researchers to simulate comprehensive, phase-based peer reviews of scholarly manuscripts using a standardized, multi-agent workflow (EIC + 3 peer reviewers + Devil's Advocate), producing structured feedback and a clear revision roadmap.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Phase-driven reviewer configuration: automatically assembles five distinct reviewer personas (EIC, Methodology, Domain, Perspective, Devil's Advocate) and presents configurable identities.
  • Parallel Phase 1 reviews: each reviewer produces independent reports without cross-talk, ensuring diverse critique.
  • Editorial synthesis: consolidates reports, identifies consensus/disagreements, and generates an Editorial Decision plus a prioritized Revision Roadmap.
  • Re-review support: verifies revision quality against the ROADMAP and outputs residual issues and updated decision.
  • Output formats: standardized templates for reviewer reports, revision responses, and decision letters.

Quick Start

Provide a manuscript and specify any domain constraints; the system will run Phase 0 field analysis, Phase 1 parallel reviews by 5 agents, Phase 2 editorial synthesis, and return a full revision roadmap.

FAQPage Schema
How do I simulate a peer review for my academic manuscript before submission?

A multi-perspective peer review generates five independent reviewer reports, an editorial decision letter, and a prioritized revision roadmap for scholarly manuscripts requiring cross-domain critique.

What is a multi-perspective peer review and how does it work?

A multi-perspective peer review uses a multi-agent workflow where five distinct reviewer personas, including a methodology expert and a devil's advocate, independently critique a manuscript to identify consensus and disagreements before generating an editorial synthesis.

Can I get a devil's advocate critique for an interdisciplinary policy analysis paper?

Yes, this system supports interdisciplinary policy analysis manuscripts by configuring a dedicated Devil's Advocate reviewer persona to deliver cross-domain critique during the parallel review phase.

How do I generate a revision roadmap from multiple peer reviewer reports?

Editorial synthesis consolidates multiple parallel reviewer reports to identify consensus and disagreements, automatically generating an editorial decision and a prioritized revision roadmap for the author to follow.

Does the peer review simulation verify if my manuscript revisions resolved previous critiques?

Yes, the re-review support function verifies revision quality against the generated roadmap, outputting residual issues and an updated editorial decision to confirm all critiques are addressed.
