Paper Review

This walks you through a structured self-review before you submit your own academic paper. It's not for peer reviewing someone else's work. The core is a five-aspect checklist covering contribution sufficiency, writing clarity, results quality, testing completeness, and method design flaws. What makes it interesting is the counterintuitive protocol: simulate writing a rejection of your own paper first, deliberately delete one unsupported claim, and promote a limitation to the main text instead of hiding it. It also includes reverse-outlining to check logical flow and a pointed reminder that every claim in your abstract needs experimental support. Use this when you want to stress-test your draft and prepare for the worst reviewers before they arrive.
