12.AI FOR OBGYN: How to Use Claude for Peer Review

Peer review takes time you do not have. Most journals and publishers discourage AI in peer reviews. If your publiser allows it, here is how to do it faster without doing it worse.

Peer review is one of the most important and most undercompensated activities in academic medicine. We do it because the system depends on it, because we want our field’s literature to be sound, and because we remember what it felt like when a thoughtful reviewer caught something in our own work.

We also do it under time pressure, often on weekends, often for journals that will send us three manuscripts in a month and one in a year. The quality is uneven as a result -- not because reviewers do not care, but because there is no good support for the work.

Claude is that support. Not to write the review for you -- that would compromise the integrity of the process. But to help you read more systematically, catch what you might miss, and structure your feedback clearly. Your expertise is the judgment. Claude is the framework.
