Scientific paper review writer

Overview

This recipe walks you through a multi-pass review workflow: summary extraction, methodology critique, statistical soundness check, and final recommendation drafting. Each pass refines the output using domain-specific prompts calibrated for academic rigor.

Inputs

• Manuscript PDF or plain-text abstract
• Target journal name (for style alignment)
• Reviewer expertise level (early-career / senior)
• Optional: specific concerns to flag

Pipeline Steps

1. Parse & extract — Meridian reads the manuscript and isolates key claims, methodology, and results.
2. Critical analysis — Each claim is cross-checked against the described methods; logical gaps are flagged.
3. Stats audit — Sample sizes, p-values, and test choices are reviewed for appropriateness.
4. Recommendation draft — A structured review is assembled: major comments, minor comments, and an overall recommendation.

Output Format

Tips

• Provide the full manuscript for best results — abstracts alone yield shallower critiques.
• Set expertise to "senior" for tougher methodological scrutiny.
• Use the optional concerns field to steer focus toward specific sections.
