## Overview

Peer review is quality control for science: the reviewer's job is to
judge whether the claims are supported and the work is sound — not to
rewrite the paper or gatekeep the field. This skill covers structuring
a review (summary, major issues, minor issues), evaluating novelty,
methods, statistics, and interpretation separately, and writing criticism
that improves the paper.

## When to use

- Reviewing a manuscript for a journal or conference
- Deciding on a recommendation: accept, minor/major revision, reject
- Separating fatal flaws from fixable issues from nits
