SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires docx, and includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill addresses the time-consuming and error-prone nature of pre-submission manuscript review by automating literature verification and citation checking.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Claim Verification: Uses Consensus to check if background claims in your manuscript are supported by current literature.
  • Citation Gap Analysis: Identifies high-impact, relevant papers that may have been missed in your reference list.
  • Methods Assessment: Evaluates whether your chosen methods reflect current field standards or have been superseded.
  • Use Case: A researcher preparing a paper on AI-driven clinical prediction can use this to ensure their background claims are accurate and that they haven't missed recent benchmarking papers.

Quick Start

Upload your manuscript and ask the peer-review-assistant to review the paper for background accuracy and missing citations.
