This Skill produces a comprehensive, constructive referee-style review of an academic manuscript, diagnosing weaknesses in argumentation, identification strategy, econometric specification, literature positioning, and presentation so authors can prepare a submission-ready draft.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Dimension-by-dimension evaluation: structured checks for argument structure, identification strategy, econometric specification, literature placement, and writing quality.
  • Actionable outputs: summary recommendation (Accept / R&R / Reject), 3+ strengths, major and minor concerns with suggested fixes, 3–5 referee objections, and numeric scores by dimension.
  • Use Cases: preparing a submission to a top economics journal, internal pre-submission review, coauthor feedback rounds, or referee training exercises.

Quick Start

Review the paper at path replication_book/main.tex and produce a detailed referee-style report for the full manuscript.

FAQPage Schema
How do I get a referee report for an economics manuscript before journal submission?

To get a referee report for an economics manuscript, you need a tool that evaluates argument structure, identification strategy, and econometric specification. This process generates a structured markdown report containing a summary decision, strengths, concerns, and dimension scores.

Can I review a paper directly from a .tex or .qmd file?

You can review a paper directly from a .tex or .qmd file, as well as PDF formats. The review process requires access to manuscript files or section paths and related regression outputs to assess the full econometric specification and literature positioning accurately.

What is a top-journal referee-style manuscript review?

A top-journal referee-style manuscript review is a comprehensive evaluation that diagnoses weaknesses in argumentation, identification strategy, and presentation quality. It produces actionable feedback including major and minor concerns with suggested fixes, plus 3 to 5 referee objections.

How do I assess the identification strategy and econometric specification of my paper?

To assess the identification strategy and econometric specification of your paper, apply a structured manuscript review process. This evaluates your argument structure and regression outputs, providing dimension-by-dimension numeric scores to prepare a submission-ready draft.

Does pre-submission academic writing review work for coauthor feedback rounds?

Pre-submission academic writing review works effectively for coauthor feedback rounds, internal reviews, and referee training exercises. It generates a summary recommendation of Accept, Revise and Resubmit, or Reject, along with 3 or more strengths to guide revisions.

What format is the referee report output?

The referee report output is a structured markdown document. It includes a summary decision, identified strengths, major and minor concerns with suggested fixes, referee objections, and numeric scores evaluated dimension by dimension.
