What problem does it solve?

The paper-editor skill provides a blunt, structured editorial audit that identifies submission-killing weaknesses and prescribes targeted fixes for academic finance working papers and manuscripts.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Seven-audit publishability review: Reviews the abstract, introduction, section-by-section content, argumentation, prose quality, citations, and holistic “So What” framing.
  • Report-driven revision workflow: Produces a formal editorial report using a consistent template and writes it to correspondence/the_editor/ so the author can respond in rounds.
  • Non-invasive safety guardrails: Reads and compiles to understand the paper, but never directly modifies author .tex, .bib, figures, or any manuscript files without permission.
  • R&R Mode support: When responding to referees, maps concerns to the response letter claims and verifies whether revisions actually resolve them.

Quick Start

Use the paper-editor skill to audit the author’s current draft for submission readiness and generate a dated round report in the editor correspondence folder.

FAQPage Schema
How do I audit a finance working paper for publishability?

A finance manuscript audit evaluates publishability through a seven-audit editorial protocol covering abstract, introduction, section quality, argumentation, prose, citations, and holistic contribution. It produces a formal editorial report identifying submission-killing weaknesses and prescribing targeted fixes.

Can I use an editorial audit to help write a referee response letter for an R&R submission?

Yes, an editorial audit supports R&R workflows by mapping referee concerns to response letter claims and verifying whether manuscript revisions actually resolve those issues. This ensures your response letter accurately addresses reviewer critiques before resubmission.

What's the best way to review LaTeX manuscript citations without modifying the original files?

The best way to review LaTeX citations safely is through a non-invasive audit that reads and compiles the manuscript without directly modifying author `.tex`, `.bib`, or figure files. It generates an external editorial report in a correspondence directory, preserving the original manuscript integrity.

Does the academic editing audit require specific metadata or file formats to run?

The academic editing audit requires YAML-identified discovery metadata within the manuscript files. It reads the LaTeX source and compiles the document to assess content quality, argumentation, and citations, ensuring a complete evaluation before generating the advisory report.

What are the limitations of automated manuscript audit tools for academic finance papers?

Automated manuscript audit tools are limited by non-invasive safety guardrails that prohibit direct modifications to author `.tex`, `.bib`, or figure files. They produce advisory reports and editorial guidance, leaving actual manuscript revisions entirely to the author.
