Paper Review

A systematic approach to self-reviewing academic papers before submission. Covers a 5-aspect review checklist, reverse-outlining for structural clarity, figure/table quality checks, and rebuttal preparation.

When to Use This Skill

• User wants to review or check a paper draft before submission
• User asks for feedback on paper quality or completeness
• User wants to prepare for potential reviewer criticism
• User mentions "review paper", "check my draft", "self-review"

If the user has already received reviewer comments and needs to write a rebuttal, use the paper-rebuttal skill instead.

Prerequisites

Before starting review, confirm the paper-writing handoff checklist is satisfied: all sections drafted, claims anchored to evidence, limitation section present, figures finalized, and no unresolved \todo{} markers. If any item is incomplete, finish writing before reviewing.
