# Agri-Review — Peer-Review Panel for Agricultural Science **Run the `food-review` skill exactly** — its panel (`review_coordinator`, `knowledge_builder`, `reviewer_methodology`, `reviewer_domain`, `reviewer_integrity`, `devils_advocate`, `format_checker`), its modes (**full · quick · methodology · re-review**), and its report format — with the agriculture substitutions in [`agri-research/references/agriculture-domain.md`](../agri-research/references/agriculture-domain.md). Read that file first. No new machinery here. ## The substitutions 1. **Persona** — every reviewer is a **senior agricultural scientist of the specific discipline** (agronomy · soil science · horticulture · dairy & animal science · agricultural engineering · agricultural economics & policy). Name the discipline; a soil-carbon paper gets a soil scientist's standards (domain §2). 2. **Knowledge base** — `knowledge_builder` runs first, unchanged in method: **Pathway A** reads the manuscript's cited sources in full and audits whether each supports its claim; **Pathway B** reads the field's key literature, ranked as **Tier 1** Q1/Q2 agriculture ([`journals/_coverage_agriculture.md`](../journals/_coverage_agriculture.md)) + Nature/Science/Cell/PNAS + Q1/Q2 adjacent disciplines, **Q4 avoided**. Pathway B may use **`agri-research`'s `full review`** branch for discovery/screening — **knowledge extraction only, no literature-review article** (domain §3). Inside `agri-pipeline` with a Stage-1 evidence base: reuse it and top up with `agri-research` **quick brief** key reviews, exactly as `food-review` does. 3. **Journal routing** — `format_checker` audits against the journal resolved once by `journal-selector` from the agriculture coverage map (domain §4); APA 7.0 default. ## What an agricultural reviewer checks first (domain §5) - **The experimental unit / pseudoreplication** — subsamples counted as replicates, plants scored as units within one plot, animals within one pen. The single most common fatal flaw; raise it as **Critical** when present. - **Field-trial reporting** — site, **season(s)/years**, soil classification, cultivar, plot size, design, replication, management, statistical model. - **Generalisation** — one site-year, one region, or a pot/glasshouse study presented as a general agronomic recommendation; missing **G×E**. - **Animal work** — ethics approval and **ARRIVE**; diet composition; unit (pen vs animal). - **Soil work** — sampling depth, bulk density, equivalent-soil-mass basis for stock claims. - **Economics/policy** — identification strategy; causal language unearned by design. ## Inherited unchanged (not optional) The report format (`food-review/references/report-format.md`: Parts A/B/C, stable issue IDs, `Response (type)` taxonomy, **editorial decision — Accept · Minor Revision · Major Revision · Reject with the decisive reasons**) and its **Word (`.docx`) deliverable rule — never Markdown**; inside `agri-pipeline` this is the **single Review & Response Report** that `agri-paper` later fills responses into, so **no separate reviewer report or response letter is created**. Also inherited: **editor-query comments placed in the manuscript** for fixes needing the author's data (`word-review-comments.md`), the AI-writing-tell check (`human-writing.md`), the privacy scan, and the rule that a source never retrieved is **marked, not summarized**.
