SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps reviewers and section writers detect unsupported claims, citation gaps, overstatements, and mismatches between manuscript prose and available evidence, reducing the risk of misleading or unsubstantiated conclusions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Highlight major claims that need direct support and classify them by type: direct observation, literature comparison, field background, mechanistic explanation, or recommendation.
  • Verify that each claim has the appropriate support type (citation, artifact, figure/table, or explicit uncertainty) and flag overbroad language with suggested narrower wording.
  • Run integrity checks including numeric consistency with figures/tables, citation relevance, and potential self-plagiarism to guide substantive revisions.
  • Use Case: After drafting a results or discussion subsection, produce revision notes listing unsupported claims, missing citations, and recommended wording downgrades.

Quick Start

Use the review to list unsupported claims and recommend citation or wording fixes for the attached section.

FAQPage Schema
How do I check my manuscript for unsupported claims and missing citations?

To check a manuscript for unsupported claims, provide the section text, citation list, and references. The review identifies major claims needing support, flags missing citations, detects overbroad language, and recommends wording downgrades to align claims with evidence.

What is claim-evidence alignment in scientific peer review?

Claim-evidence alignment in scientific peer review ensures every major statement has appropriate support, such as a direct citation, figure, table, or explicit uncertainty. It detects overstatements and mismatches between manuscript prose and available evidence to prevent unsubstantiated conclusions.

How do I fix overbroad language in a research paper draft?

To fix overbroad language in a research paper, run an integrity check on the drafted subsection. The review flags overstatements and suggests narrower wording, ensuring claims are evidence-backed and matched by numeric consistency with figures and tables.

Can I validate literature comparisons during scientific editing?

Yes, you can validate literature comparisons during scientific editing by applying optional literature context or research packs. This verifies citation relevance and checks claim-evidence alignment for field background and mechanistic explanations within the manuscript.

Does peer review claim-checking detect self-plagiarism?

Yes, peer review claim-checking runs integrity checks that include potential self-plagiarism detection. Alongside numeric consistency and citation relevance checks, it guides substantive revisions to reduce the risk of misleading or unsubstantiated conclusions.

When do I need to use a citation grounding tool for manuscript preparation?

You need citation grounding during writing, peer review, and editorial preparation. It is required when drafting results or discussion subsections to verify claim-evidence alignment, list unsupported statements, and recommend citation or wording fixes.
