SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It solves the problem of identifying weaknesses in an academic manuscript before submission by producing a referee-style review that targets argumentation, econometrics, literature positioning, writing quality, and presentation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Top-journal referee review: Generates a structured report with an overall recommendation, strengths, major/minor concerns, and likely referee questions.
  • Six-dimension coverage: Assesses argument structure, identification strategy, econometric specification, literature positioning, writing quality, and presentation (figures/tables/consistency).
  • Practical output workflow: Reads the manuscript from a direct path or from master_supporting_docs, then saves the review into quality_reports for later iteration.
  • Use Case: If you are preparing a revision for an R&R or planning a first submission, use it to pinpoint the most likely “fatal” objections so you can address them efficiently.

Quick Start

Ask the review-paper skill to review your manuscript by providing the path or filename in master_supporting_docs/.

FAQPage Schema
How do I get a referee-style manuscript review before submitting an academic paper?

A referee-style manuscript review identifies weaknesses in argumentation, identification, econometrics, literature positioning, writing, and presentation. It produces 3-5 likely referee objections and a quality report to help you address fatal flaws before journal submission.

What does a referee report evaluate in an econometrics paper?

A referee report for an econometrics paper evaluates argument structure, identification strategy, econometric specification, literature positioning, writing quality, and presentation consistency. It generates an overall recommendation, strengths, major and minor concerns, and likely referee questions.

Can I review a PDF manuscript for submission-readiness and revision planning?

Yes, you can review a PDF manuscript for submission-readiness and revision planning. Provide the PDF file path or filename located in master_supporting_docs, and the system will read the full paper, evaluate it across six dimensions, and write a quality report for iteration.

How do I find literature gaps and citation completeness issues in my manuscript?

Finding literature gaps and citation completeness issues is part of the manuscript review's literature positioning and presentation assessment. The referee-style review identifies weaknesses in how your paper positions itself within existing research and flags citation inconsistencies.

What is the best way to prepare a paper revision for an R&R response?

The best way to prepare a paper revision for an R&R response is to generate a referee-style review that identifies likely fatal objections across argumentation and econometrics. This quality report helps you address weaknesses efficiently before resubmission.

Does the paper review support LaTeX and Quarto files?

Yes, the manuscript review supports LaTeX (.tex) and Quarto (.qmd) files in addition to PDFs. You provide the file path or filename located in master_supporting_docs, and the system reads the full document to evaluate submission-readiness across six dimensions.
