SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Authors lack access to realistic, multi-perspective journal peer review before submission, making it hard to anticipate reviewer objections, methodological critiques, and editorial outcomes. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Five-seat review panel: A field analyst configures four reviewer personas (Journal-Fit, Methodology, Domain, Perspective) plus a fixed Devil's Advocate, each producing a role-separated report. - Six operational modes: full review, re-review (revision verification), quick assessment, methodology-focus, Socratic guided review, and calibration against adjudicated paper sets. - Editorial synthesis: A synthesizer consolidates all reports into an Editorial Decision Letter and an immutable Revision Roadmap with author adjudication sidecar. - Use Case: Before submitting a manuscript, run a full review to receive five independent reviewer reports, a decision letter, and a prioritized revision roadmap, then use re-review mode after revising to verify each comment was addressed. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to review this paper and paste the manuscript text or provide the file path.

FAQPage Schema
How do I get a simulated peer review of my paper before submission?▼

Provide the manuscript text or file and request a full review. The skill configures a field-specific five-seat panel, produces five reviewer reports, and synthesizes an Editorial Decision Letter with a Revision Roadmap.

How do I verify that my revisions addressed reviewer comments?▼

Use re-review mode with the original roadmap, author adjudication sidecar, revision evidence, and revised manuscript. It runs a three-gate verification and returns a traceability matrix with a new decision.

What review modes does the academic paper reviewer support?▼

Six modes: full, re-review, quick, methodology-focus, guided (Socratic dialogue), and calibration. Quick gives a 15-minute assessment; methodology-focus limits the panel to journal-fit and methodology seats.

Can the reviewer modify or rewrite my manuscript?▼

No. A read-only constraint forbids reviewers from editing the manuscript. All output is produced as separate reports, decision letters, and roadmaps; revision work is handed back to the author or a writing skill.

Are the review scores calibrated against real acceptance outcomes?▼

No. Live reviews emit NOT_CALIBRATED status. An opt-in calibration mode can measure decision-level error rates on adjudicated paper sets, but the resulting profile is not yet applied to live reviews.
