FAQPage Schema
How do I check a research manuscript for statistical validity before submission?

Statistical validity checks verify that correlations fall within -1 to 1, p-values are within 0-1, and sample sizes are stated. This Skill reviews your draft manuscript against these criteria and flags violations with severity levels and correction guidance.

Can I automatically verify that all claims in my article are properly cited?

Yes. This Skill scans your draft for unsupported factual claims and confirms all analyzed papers are cited, flagging citation gaps and unsourced statements so you can add missing references before finalization.

How do I catch causal language errors in correlational research?

Causal overstatement is a common error in research writing. This Skill flags language implying causation when only correlational evidence exists, helping you revise claims to match your statistical findings.

What format does the research review output use?

The Skill reads a markdown draft article and outputs a structured JSON review file containing flagged issues, severity classifications, and specific recommendations for each section—ready for systematic revision.

Does this quality check work for logical consistency across sections?

Yes. Beyond statistics and citations, this Skill evaluates logical consistency across all sections of your manuscript, identifying contradictions and gaps that undermine coherence.
