About academic-paper-review

academic-paper-review
The user requests to review, analyze, critique, or summarize academic papers
academic-paper-review is an agent skill from the DeerFlow project that writes a structured, peer-review-style analysis of an academic paper, preprint or research article. You can give it an uploaded PDF or a link to fetch. The review follows the templates used by major venues such as NeurIPS, ICML, ACL, Nature and IEEE, and it covers a summary, the strengths and weaknesses, an assessment of the methodology for experimental design, statistical validity and reproducibility, an evaluation of the novelty and significance of the contribution, and recommendations for improvement. It also places the work in its research field with a targeted literature search. You can ask for the full review or a shorter executive summary. The skill is meant to work across fields, including computer science, biology, physics and the social sciences. It bases its comments on evidence from the paper itself, so it is useful for reading, teaching or preparing a review, though it is not a substitute for expert judgment on a specialized result.
