Peer-review response evidence planner

For academic authors revising manuscripts, turn authorized reviewer comments and manuscript versions into coauthor-approved review response pack. Address this specific problem: response letters lose track of which changes address each comment. The aim: every response tied to an actual manuscript change or stated rationale. The pilot tests whether that benefit holds up against reviewer effort and real operating costs.

The buyer creates a project, supplies authorized reviewer comments and manuscript versions, and confirms scope and access. Users correct extracted facts, resolve flagged uncertainties and approve the final coauthor-approved review response pack before use. Retain source links and a version history for the next cycle.

How the AI works

Draft responses from documented revisions only. Keep model suggestions separate from verified facts. Link factual outputs to authorized input evidence and show missing information explicitly. Use deterministic checks for counts, dates, identifiers and arithmetic where applicable. A designated reviewer validates consequential outputs and signs off the delivered result.

Safeguards

Preserve original data, methods, citations and research limitations. Use researcher review and document every substantive transformation. No fabricated analyses or claims of changes not made. Require appropriate access and publication approval. Preserve source material, label AI drafts and make corrections traceable. Measure false positives and missed cases alongside speed.

What to build first

Costed pilot: No fabricated analyses or claims of changes not made. Start with one buyer organization and a bounded set of representative inputs. Implement the first two modules: separate reviewer requests; link manuscript changes. Support the third task through an assisted review queue: flag unanswered points. Handle the remaining required functions manually until validated. Include input upload, source references, user correction, a reviewer approval step and export of coauthor-approved review response pack. Authentication, account isolation, deletion controls and basic operational logging are included. Specialized production certification, live write integrations and broader rollout are not included unless explicitly stated.

What it can connect to

Authorized datasets, papers, protocols, code and research records. Document storage, word processor export, content management systems and approved publishing channels. Pilot with uploads and downloadable drafts before adding write integrations. Begin with uploads and exports of authorized reviewer comments and manuscript versions. Any named system or connector is a candidate requiring current access and compatibility checks; no live connection is included by default.

The screens in detail

Use a project list and editorial calendar beside a document editor. Keep original material and supporting passages in a collapsible side panel. Show outline, draft, review and approved stages. Provide tracked edits, comments, version comparisons and an export preview that reflects the final delivery format. Open with comment matrix; move into revision evidence for the detailed task; finish in response draft for review and handoff. Show the source record, uncertainty and approval status beside each proposed output.
