SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) and scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

It provides a structured way to evaluate scholarly work—such as papers, proposals, and literature reviews—so you can judge rigor, credibility, and communication quality consistently.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Systematic ScholarEval workflow: Guides you through scoping the work, evaluating across dimensions, and producing a synthesized assessment.
  • Dimension-based scoring: Covers problem formulation, literature review, methodology, data collection, analysis, results, scholarly writing, and citations with an optional 5-point scale.
  • Actionable feedback generation: Produces prioritized, evidence-based recommendations mapped to ScholarEval dimensions.
  • Resource support: Leverages the included framework reference for rubrics and indicators and can compute aggregate scores for dimension-level ratings.

Quick Start

Use the scholar-evaluation skill to evaluate an uploaded research paper by asking for a comprehensive ScholarEval report that includes dimension-by-dimension strengths, weaknesses, and a scored summary.

FAQPage Schema
How do I evaluate research quality systematically across methodology and data analysis?

You can evaluate research quality systematically using the ScholarEval methodology, which scores problem formulation, literature review, methodology, data, analysis, results, writing, and citations on a 1–5 scale to produce an evidence-based assessment.

What is the best way to assess academic writing and citation quality in a literature review?

The best way to assess academic writing and citation quality is through a targeted ScholarEval review scope, which applies dimension-based scoring rubrics to generate prioritized feedback on scholarly communication and reference rigor.

Can I use a structured rubric to review a research proposal or protocol?

Yes, you can review a research proposal or protocol by loading the provided framework reference, applying comprehensive or comparative review scopes, and synthesizing dimension-level ratings into actionable recommendations.

How does methodology scoring work when evaluating scholarly work?

Methodology scoring works by collecting dimension-level ratings on a 1–5 scale across research dimensions, optionally loading the provided rubric reference, and computing aggregate scores to synthesize an evidence-based assessment with prioritized recommendations.

What do I need to perform a comprehensive peer review of a research paper?

To perform a comprehensive peer review, you need the target research paper, the ScholarEval rubric reference for indicators, and a chosen review scope to systematically evaluate dimensions and generate a scored summary.
