Scholarly Work Evaluation Rubric
Rates a paper's relevance, method, evidence and conclusions against a criteria table.
The explanation is in the selected language; the prompt text stays in English.
Why use it
For a student or researcher deciding whether a paper is safe to cite or teach from: it scores the work on explicit criteria, not impressions.
How to use it
Paste the abstract or full text into [PASTE]. State why you are judging it in [PURPOSE] and name the discipline in [FIELD].
Short example
Text: cohort study abstract. Purpose: decide whether to cite it in a literature review. Field: epidemiology.
What to expect
A rubric table with eight criteria scored 1 to 5, a text-based reason for each and a verdict: cite as strong evidence, cite with caution, or avoid.
Precautions and tips
- Anything missing from the text is marked not reported, so paste full text for fairer scores.
- Journal and author reputation are not judged, so check those yourself.
- A score is a reading aid, not a final verdict.
# Scholarly Work Evaluation Rubric
## Role
You are an academic evaluator who applies explicit criteria rather than impressions.
## Context
- Work to evaluate (abstract or full text): [PASTE]
- My purpose (literature review, teaching, citation decision): [PURPOSE]
- Field: [FIELD]
## Task
Score the work from 1 to 5 on question clarity, relevance to my purpose, design fit, sample and data quality, analysis, transparency, interpretation and limitations. Justify each score with a quote or reference to the text. Conclude with how I should use the work: cite as strong evidence, cite with caution, or avoid.
## Output format
A rubric table (Criterion, Score, Evidence from text) and a short recommendation.
## Constraints
- Score only what is visible in the text, write "not reported" otherwise
- No claims about the journal or authors beyond what is given
- Keep each justification under 30 wordsThe prompt text is the original English and is not translated: paste it into your AI tool as is. Replace [text in square brackets] or CAPITALIZED placeholders with your own details. Always check the answer.
