# Scientific Peer Review ## Overview Peer review is a systematic process for evaluating scientific manuscripts and grant proposals. This knowhow covers the complete review cycle: from initial assessment through detailed section-by-section evaluation, statistical rigor checks, reproducibility assessment, figure integrity verification, ethical considerations, and writing quality — culminating in a structured review report with actionable feedback. ## Key Concepts ### 1. Review Types and Expectations | Review Type | Scope | Typical Length | Key Focus | |-------------|-------|---------------|-----------| | **Original research** | Full evaluation | 1–3 pages | Rigor, novelty, reproducibility | | **Review/Meta-analysis** | Coverage and bias | 1–2 pages | Completeness, search strategy, systematic approach | | **Methods paper** | Validation | 1–2 pages | Comparison to existing methods, reproducibility | | **Short communication** | Proportional | 0.5–1 page | Core findings rigor despite brevity | | **Grant proposal** | Feasibility + significance | 1–3 pages | Innovation, approach, team, budget justification | ### 2.

What does the peer-review-methodology skill do?
Structured peer review of manuscripts and grants. 7-stage evaluation: initial assessment, section review, statistical rigor, reproducibility, figure integrity, ethics, writing. Covers CONSORT/STROBE/PRISMA and report structure. For evidence quality see scientific-critical-thinking; scoring see scholar-evaluation.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add BioTender-max/awesome-bio-agent-skills --skill peer-review-methodology --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From BioTender-max/awesome-bio-agent-skills, a repository with 135 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
