SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Researchers often submit papers with structural gaps, unsupported claims, missing citations, or unclear figures that lead to desk rejections or major revisions. This Skill provides a systematic self-review checklist to catch these issues before submission. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Structure and Logic Review: Checks that abstract, introduction, method, results, and discussion are complete, reproducible, and logically coherent. - Research Claim Audit: Verifies each major claim is supported by results, citations, or analysis artifacts, and flags overclaiming with a keep/weaken/revise/remove verdict. - Citation and Figure Quality Checks: Validates citation completeness and accuracy, and evaluates figure/table captions, readability, and format compliance. - Use Case: Before submitting a conference paper, run a full self-review to get a verdict (ready with minor edits, needs moderate revision, or not ready) plus the top blocking and polish issues. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to self-review your paper draft for structure, claim support, citations, and figure quality before submission.

FAQPage Schema
How do I self-review a paper before submission?▼

Run a structured self-review covering six areas: structure, logic consistency, citations, claim support, figures/tables, and writing clarity. Finish with a checklist and a final verdict of ready with minor edits, needs moderate revision, or not ready for submission.

How to check if paper claims are supported by results?▼

Audit each major claim against the evidence in your draft, analysis artifacts, citations, or project notes. Assign each claim a verdict of keep, weaken, revise, or remove, and record missing evidence and overclaim risk for each one.

What should a paper quality checklist include?▼

A good checklist covers an abstract with problem, method, results, and contributions; a reproducible method; results that support conclusions; claims tied to named evidence; limitations in the discussion; captioned figures; and complete, accurate citations.

Does this replace statistical analysis or citation verification tools?▼

No. The claim audit checks whether claims correctly use available evidence, but it does not perform statistical analysis or bibliographic verification. Use dedicated results-analysis and citation-verification tools for those tasks.

When should I run a paper self-review?▼

Run it before journal or conference submission, after completing a first draft, before sending to an advisor or collaborators, and after revising based on reviewer comments to confirm all issues are addressed.
