Review Paper

Manuscript Review

Produce a thorough, constructive review of an academic manuscript -- the kind of report a top-journal referee would write.

Input: $ARGUMENTS -- path to a paper (.tex, .pdf), or a filename in master_supporting_docs/.

Steps

1. Locate and read the manuscript.
2. Read the full paper end-to-end. For long PDFs, read in chunks.
3. Evaluate across 6 dimensions: Argument Structure, Identification Strategy, Econometric Specification, Literature Positioning, Writing Quality, Presentation.
4. Generate 3-5 "referee objections" -- the tough questions a top referee would ask.
5. Produce the review report.
6. Save to quality_reports/paper_review_[sanitized_name].md

Principles

• Be constructive. Every criticism should come with a suggestion.
