SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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

What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents submission delays by performing a thorough pre-submission consistency and coherence audit of academic manuscripts, especially in accounting and finance.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Exhaustive cross-reference audits: Verifies that every in-text reference to tables, figures, equations, sections, appendices, footnotes, and citations points to an existing element and matches what the referenced item contains.
  • Table and figure consistency checks: Flags internal inconsistencies in numbering, captions/notes, significance labeling, variable definitions, and plausibility of reported statistics and sample sizes.
  • Main paper ↔ supporting document coherence: When provided, checks alignment across the main manuscript, online appendix, and response letter so promises and referenced changes remain fulfilled.

Quick Start

Use the consistency-checker to audit your submitted manuscript by prompting: "Run a full pre-submission consistency audit on the attached main paper LaTeX (and online appendix/response letter if available) and return a categorized issue report with a severity-sorted summary table."

FAQPage Schema
How do I validate cross-references and tables in a LaTeX manuscript before submission?

To validate cross-references and tables in a LaTeX manuscript before submission, run a systematic pre-submission consistency audit that verifies in-text references to tables, figures, equations, and sections point to existing elements and match their content.

What is pre-submission consistency checking for academic manuscripts?

Pre-submission consistency checking for academic manuscripts is an exhaustive audit process that validates cross-references, table and figure numbering, variable definitions, and methodology coherence across main and supporting documents to prevent submission delays.

Can I check alignment between a main paper and an online appendix or response letter?

Yes, you can check alignment between a main paper and supporting documents. When provided, the audit checks coherence across the main manuscript, online appendix, and response letter so referenced changes and promises remain fulfilled.

How do I audit variable definitions and sample sizes in accounting and finance working papers?

To audit variable definitions and sample sizes in accounting and finance working papers, perform a consistency check that flags internal inconsistencies in significance labeling, variable definitions, and plausibility of reported statistics across documents.

Does the consistency audit report categorize issues by severity?

Yes, the consistency audit report categorizes issues by severity. It produces a detailed, location-anchored report organized into ten audit categories and prioritizes identified issues by severity for efficient pre-submission quality control.

When do I need a manuscript audit for citations validation?

You need a manuscript audit for citations validation when finalizing working papers, responding to a revise and resubmit decision, or preparing accounting and finance manuscripts for journal submission to ensure exact element-level verification.
