# Paper Self-Review
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A systematic paper quality checking tool that helps researchers conduct comprehensive self-review before submission.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Core Features
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### 1. Structure Review
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Check whether all sections of the paper are complete and conform to academic standards:
|
|
|
|
|
- Does the Abstract include problem, method, results, and contributions?
|
|
|
|
|
- Does the Introduction clearly articulate research motivation and background?
|
|
|
|
|
- Is the Method detailed enough to be reproducible?
|
|
|
|
|
- Do the Results sufficiently support the conclusions?
|
|
|
|
|
- Does the Discussion address limitations and future work?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### 2. Logic Consistency Check
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Verify the logical coherence of the paper:
|
|
|
|
|
- Do research questions match the methodology?
|
|
|
|
|
- Does the experimental design support the research hypotheses?
|
|
|
|
|
- Are result interpretations reasonable?
|
|
|
|
|
- Are conclusions supported by evidence?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### 3. Citation Completeness
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Check the completeness and accuracy of citations:
|
|
|
|
|
- Are all citations present in the references?
|
|
|
|
|
- Is the reference format consistent?
|
|
|
|
|
- Are key related works cited?
|
|
|
|
|
- Do citations accurately reflect the original content?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### 4. Research Claim Audit
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Check whether the paper's claims are supported by the available evidence:
|
|
|
|
|
- Are the main claims supported by results, citations, or analysis artifacts?
|
|
|
|
|
- Are speculative observations clearly marked as tentative?
|
|
|
|
|
- Does the paper avoid stronger wording than the evidence allows?
|
|
|
|
|
- Are negative results, limitations, and missing baselines presented honestly?
|
|
|
|
|
- Do conclusions stay inside the tested scope?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This audit does not replace `results-analysis` for statistics or `citation-verification` for bibliographic verification. It checks whether paper claims correctly use the available evidence.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### 5. Figure/Table Quality
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Evaluate the quality and effectiveness of figures and tables:
|
|
|
|
|
- Do all figures/tables have clear titles and captions?
|
|
|
|
|
- Do figures/tables support the text narrative?
|
|
|
|
|
- Are figures/tables clear and readable?
|
|
|
|
|
- Do formats comply with journal/conference requirements?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### 6. Writing Clarity
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Check writing clarity and readability:
|
|
|
|
|
- Is the language concise and clear?
|
|
|
|
|
- Is technical terminology used appropriately?
|
|
|
|
|
- Are sentence structures clear?
|
|
|
|
|
- Is paragraph organization logical?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Follow these steps for systematic paper review:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Step 1: Structure Review
|
|
|
|
|
Start with the overall structure, checking if all sections are complete and logically coherent.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Step 2: Content Review
|
|
|
|
|
Dive into each section, checking content accuracy and completeness.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Step 3: Research Claim Audit
|
|
|
|
|
Check whether each major claim is supported by the evidence available in the draft, analysis bundle, citations, or project notes.

### Step 4: Citation Check
|
|
|
|
|
Verify the completeness and accuracy of all citations.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Step 5: Figure/Table Review
|
|
|
|
|
Check the quality and captions of all figures and tables.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
## Best Practices
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Review Timing
|
|
|
|
|
- **Spaced review** - Wait 1-2 days after completing the draft before reviewing to maintain objectivity
|
|
|
|
|
- **Multiple rounds** - Conduct multiple review rounds, focusing on different aspects each time
|
|
|
|
|
- **Print review** - Print a hard copy for review; issues are easier to spot on paper
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Review Techniques
|
|
|
|
|
- **Reverse reading** - Read from conclusion backwards to check logical coherence
|
|
|
|
|
- **Read aloud** - Reading the paper aloud helps identify language issues
|
|
|
|
|
- **Reviewer perspective** - Assume you are a reviewer and read critically
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Common Issues
|
|
|
|
|
- Abstract too brief or too verbose
|
|
|
|
|
- Introduction lacks clear research question statement
|
|
|
|
|
- Method lacks sufficient detail for reproduction
|
|
|
|
|
- Results lack statistical significance tests
|
|
|
|
|
- Discussion doesn't address research limitations
|
|
|
|
|
- Figures/tables lack clear titles and captions
|
|
|
|
|
- Inconsistent citation formatting
|
|
