Individual skill

referee-report

Write, review, and improve referee reports for economics and finance journal submissions. Synthesizes best practices from Berk, Harvey, and Hirshleifer's "How to Write an Effective Referee Report" (JEP 2017), their "Checklist for Reviewing a Paper" (2016), and Harvey and Hirshleifer's "Up or Out: Resetting Norms" (2020). Use this skill whenever the user mentions writing a referee report, reviewing a paper as a referee, improving a draft referee report, or asks for help with peer review duties — even if they just say "I need to write a report" in context of journal refereeing. Also trigger when the user has a paper they need to referee and wants structured guidance on how to evaluate it.
