SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Manuscripts submitted to IEEE Transactions journals must follow strict IEEEtran formatting and style rules, and manually checking every rule across title, abstract, figures, tables, equations, citations, and floats is slow and error-prone. This Skill automates that review and separates verified IEEEtran compliance issues from general editorial suggestions. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Evidence-based compliance checking: Flags an issue as an IEEEtran compliance violation only when it is supported by the bundled IEEEtran_HOWTO.pdf or IEEEtran_bst_HOWTO.pdf references, with page and section cues. - Full-manuscript coverage: Checks title and abstract conventions, template mode and section numbering, figure and table caption placement, equation formatting, IEEE citation and bibliography style, and float positioning. - Separate editorial pass: Reports grammar, terminology consistency, vague claims, and unclear prose as general editorial issues with quoted spans and concrete rewrite instructions. - Use Case: Before submitting a paper to an IEEE Transactions journal, run this Skill on the PDF or LaTeX source to receive an HTML report with before/after comparisons, highlighted diffs, a categorized issue table, and a clean revision checklist. ## Quick Start Review my manuscript paper.pdf against the IEEE Transactions requirements and generate the HTML review report.

Frequently Asked Questions about ieee-manuscript-review

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I review an IEEE Transactions manuscript before submission?

Provide the manuscript PDF or LaTeX source and the Skill checks it against IEEEtran_HOWTO.pdf and IEEEtran_bst_HOWTO.pdf rules. It produces an HTML report listing compliance issues and editorial issues with locations, recommendations, and a revision checklist.

What IEEE formatting rules does this manuscript review check?

It checks title and abstract conventions, template mode and section numbering, figure and table caption placement, equation numbering and column fit, IEEE bracketed citations, bibliography and URL style, and float positioning. Each compliance finding cites the specific HOWTO reference supporting it.

Can I review an IEEE paper if I only have the PDF and not the LaTeX source?

Yes, PDF-only review is supported, but comments are restricted to what is visible in the rendered manuscript. With LaTeX source available, the review additionally checks source-level IEEEtran usage such as class options and label placement.

What is the difference between compliance issues and editorial issues in the report?

IEEEtran compliance issues are findings directly supported by the bundled IEEEtran HOWTO references. General editorial issues cover writing quality concerns like vague claims, inconsistent terminology, and grammar, and are never presented as IEEEtran requirements.

What output formats does the manuscript review report support?

By default it generates an HTML report with summary counts, before/after panels, highlighted diffs, a notes table, and a clean checklist. A compact Markdown format is available for inline output when HTML is not wanted.
