Pre-Submission Mock Review Against Journal Criteria
Prompt
Journal aims, scope and reviewer criteria (copied from its website): {{JOURNAL_CRITERIA}}
Manuscript text: {{MANUSCRIPT_TEXT}}
Write the review in the format a journal would expect:
1. A neutral summary of what the paper claims to do.
2. Major concerns, numbered, each with the location in the text, why it matters and a suggested remedy.
3. Minor concerns.
4. How well the paper fits the criteria I pasted, scored criterion by criterion with a sentence of evidence from the text.
5. Claims that go beyond the evidence shown.
6. What the paper does well.
7. A tentative recommendation (accept, minor revision, major revision, reject), labelled as an impression.
Use only my text and the criteria. Do not claim the paper duplicates or contradicts literature you have not been shown, and do not invent references or methods standards. If you think the work should be compared with prior studies, say what kind of studies to check. Output as a structured review.
