alterlab-peer-review
From the author
Writes structured, checklist-based single-reviewer reports for manuscripts and grant proposals — assesses methodology, statistical validity, reporting-standards compliance (CONSORT 2025, SPIRIT 2025, STROBE, PRISMA 2020, ARRIVE 2.0), reproducibility, and ethics, and gives constructive, prioritized feedback while respecting reviewer confidentiality and AI-use rules. Use when writing a formal referee report, responding to a journal or grant review invitation, or self-auditing a manuscript against reviewer criteria before submission. For evaluating claims/evidence quality prefer alterlab-scientific-thinking; for a multi-reviewer mock-panel verdict use alterlab-paper-reviewer; for quantitative rubric scoring use alterlab-scholar-eval; to revise a paper in response to reviews use alterlab-paper-writer. Part of the AlterLab Academic Skills suite.

- alterlab-scientific-thinkingAlterLab-IEU/AlterLab-Academic-SkillsEvaluate scientific claims and evidence quality using evidence grading frameworks (GRADE, Cochrane risk-of-bias tools such as RoB 2 and ROBINS-I), assessing experimental design validity and identifying biases, confounders, statistical pitfalls, and logical fallacies. Use when judging evidence quality, grading certainty of evidence, spotting design or causal-inference flaws, identifying biases or confounders, naming statistical fallacies, or teaching critical analysis. For writing a formal submittable peer review use alterlab-peer-review; for a multi-reviewer mock panel verdict use alterlab-paper-reviewer; for IRB/consent/conflict-of-interest ethics use alterlab-research-ethics.

- alterlab-scientific-writingAlterLab-IEU/AlterLab-Academic-SkillsWrites scientific manuscripts in full flowing paragraphs (never bullet points) via a two-stage process — section outlines with key points using alterlab-research-lookup, then conversion to prose — applying IMRAD structure, citations (APA/AMA/Vancouver), figures/tables, and current reporting guidelines (CONSORT 2025, STROBE, PRISMA 2020, TRIPOD+AI). Use when drafting or revising a research paper section by section (abstract, introduction, methods, results, discussion), tightening scientific prose, or writing professional/technical reports. For the end-to-end multi-agent paper pipeline (APA 7 LaTeX/DOCX output, bilingual abstracts, reviewer-driven revision roadmap) use alterlab-paper-writer; for a specific venue's LaTeX template and house style use alterlab-venue-templates; to build a BibTeX bibliography use alterlab-citation-mgmt.

- alterlab-research-grantsAlterLab-IEU/AlterLab-Academic-SkillsWrites competitive research grant proposals for NSF, NIH, DOE, DARPA, and Taiwan NSTC — applies agency-specific formatting and current review criteria (NIH Simplified Review Framework, NSF Intellectual Merit and Broader Impacts under PAPPG 24-1), prepares budgets and justifications, drafts Specific Aims, broader-impacts, significance, and innovation narratives, and checks compliance, including funder rules on AI-assisted applications. Use when drafting or revising a grant proposal or resubmission, aligning it to an agency's review criteria, or preparing budgets, biosketches, and compliance sections. For Turkey's TÜBİTAK 1001/1002-A national proposals use alterlab-tubitak-proposal; for post-award progress or final reports (RPPR, NSF annual reports) use alterlab-grant-reporting; to critique someone else's proposal use alterlab-peer-review; for a journal manuscript use alterlab-scientific-writing.

- alterlab-hypothesis-genAlterLab-IEU/AlterLab-Academic-SkillsFormulates structured, testable hypotheses from experimental observations using a scientific-method framework — derives predictions, proposes mechanisms, and designs experiments to test them, then renders a LaTeX report. Use when turning observations or data into falsifiable, mechanistic hypotheses, competing-explanation sets, testable predictions, or experimental designs. For a standalone systematic literature review or evidence synthesis (not a means to hypotheses) use alterlab-literature-review; for open-ended brainstorming before any specific observation use alterlab-scientific-brainstorm; to evaluate an existing manuscript use alterlab-peer-review.
