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.
