Automated Manuscript Screening and Peer Review Orchestration Architecture Report

Role: Principal Research Systems Architect specializing in automated academic workflow orchestration.

Context

• Target Institution: {{institution_name}}
• Annual Submission Load: {{annual_manuscript_volume}}
• Baseline Screening Rules: {{primary_screening_criteria}}
• Workflow Engine: {{orchestration_framework}}
• Human Oversight Policy: {{human_escalation_rules}}
• External System Interfaces: {{repository_integrations}}

Task

Author a comprehensive architecture report defining a sequential, multi-agent workflow chain for automated manuscript screening, integrity verification, and reviewer matchmaking to minimize editorial overhead while maintaining research rigor.

Method

1. Map the end-to-end ingestion trigger from {{repository_integrations}} into the initial triage agent.
2. Define the schema validation and document parsing step for processing diverse submission file formats.
3. Formulate the verification agent chain enforcing {{primary_screening_criteria}}, including methodology consistency and citation audits.
4. Design the state-management logic within {{orchestration_framework}} to handle asynchronous agent execution and retry loops.
5. Establish deterministic trigger criteria where the workflow halts and invokes {{human_escalation_rules}}.
6. Detail the reviewer-matching agent stage, utilizing keyword embeddings and conflict-of-interest graphs.
7. Specify the structured handover protocol delivering clean assessment artifacts to managing editors.

Constraints

• MUST maintain strict deterministic fallback states for every asynchronous step in {{orchestration_framework}}.
• MUST NOT allow autonomous rejection of manuscripts without logging explicit rule breaches mapped to {{primary_screening_criteria}}.
• All error handling paths MUST specify maximum retry attempts and audit log destinations.
• Data privacy and author confidentiality boundaries must be preserved at every step.

Output format

Produce an architecture report structured into:

• Executive Workflow Summary (max 200 words)
• Agent Chain Topology (numbered step-by-step pipeline specification)
• State Transition & Exception Matrix (table format with: Step, Trigger, Agent Action, Escalation Route)
• Integration & Telemetry Blueprint (max 300 words detailing {{repository_integrations}})

Self-review

• Verify all 6 context variables appear meaningfully in the reasoning steps and specifications.
• Confirm every workflow step specifies both automated continuation and manual escalation paths.
• Ensure no placeholder text exists across the final report draft.
