SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides rigorous manuscript reviews that emulate top-tier referees, identifying logical gaps, methodological weaknesses, and presentation flaws to improve scholarly work.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Argument structure evaluation: assesses clarity of research question, motivation, logical flow, and whether conclusions are supported by evidence.
  • Identification strategy and econometric critique: evaluates causal claims, assumptions, threats to identification, robustness checks, and appropriateness of estimators.
  • Literature positioning and writing quality: checks coverage, accurate characterization of prior work, consistent notation, and clarity.
  • Referee objections generation and reporting: produces 3-5 tough questions a referee would raise and formats a structured report.
  • Output and formatting: saves the final review to quality_reports/paper_review_[sanitized_name].md with a clear, publishable structure.

Quick Start

Submit a manuscript file path (tex/pdf/qmd) or a filename under master_supporting_docs, and the skill will generate a structured referee-ready review.

FAQPage Schema
How do I get a peer review for an economics manuscript before submission?

To get a peer review for an economics manuscript, submit your paper file in tex, pdf, or qmd format. The skill evaluates the argument structure, econometric specifications, and literature positioning to generate a structured referee report.

Can I automate referee report generation for academic writing?

You can automate referee report generation by providing a manuscript file path or using a filename under master_supporting_docs. The system produces 3-5 referee objections and saves the final review to a markdown file.

What is the best way to critique identification strategy and econometric specifications in a research paper?

The best way to critique identification strategy is to evaluate causal claims, assumptions, threats to identification, and robustness checks. This skill applies these econometric criteria to your manuscript and highlights methodological weaknesses.

Does the manuscript review process work with LaTeX and Quarto files?

Yes, the manuscript review process works directly with LaTeX (.tex), PDF, and Quarto (.qmd) files. You simply provide the file path, and it analyzes the document from introduction to conclusions.

How to check citation completeness and literature positioning for a social science paper?

To check citation completeness and literature positioning, the review assesses coverage of prior work, accurate characterization of sources, and consistent notation. It identifies gaps in how your paper positions itself within the existing literature.

What format is the structured paper review report saved in?

The structured paper review report is saved as a markdown file located at quality_reports/paper_review_[sanitized_name].md. This provides a clear, publishable structure containing the generated referee objections and overall evaluation.
