What does this skill do?

Skill's Rigorous Academic Evaluation analyzes scientific and academic papers using a structured rubric that covers everything from problem formulation to the quality of citations. It assigns scores from 1 to 5 per dimension, verifies that claims are supported by evidence, and generates a report highlighting critical issues, recommended revisions, and pending checks. It supports comprehensive, targeted, and comparative evaluations across multiple papers.

Review of Research Articles
Evaluate empirical or theoretical articles by verifying claims, methodology, and the quality of citations.
Evaluation of Thesis Proposals
Review doctoral proposals by evaluating the research problem, the literature, the methodology, and the feasibility of the design.
Analysis of Literature Reviews
Check whether the state-of-the-art review synthesizes sources and identifies a clear research gap.
Comparison of Works
Compare two or more studies against the same rubric to assess their relative quality.

Usage examples

📝 Comprehensive Assessment
Conduct a comprehensive evaluation of this doctoral thesis proposal using the complete rubric.
🔬 Targeted Assessment
Please evaluate only the methodology of this article on LLM performance and provide me with a score supported by evidence.
⚖️ Comparison
Compare these two research articles using the same quality criteria and tell me which one is more robust.
📚 Literature Review
Review the state of the art in this manuscript and check whether it identifies a clear research gap.

Features

Multidimensional rubric It evaluates the problem, literature, methodology, data, evidence, and citation quality using scores ranging from 1 to 5 or N/A.
Three Assessment Methods Comprehensive (all dimensions), targeted (one or two specific dimensions), or comparative (multiple studies at once).
Verification of Claims Compare the author's strongest claims with the cited sources to verify their validity.
Report Formatted in Markdown Returns an overall rating, a score table, critical issues, recommended reviews, and pending checks.
Actionable Feedback It distinguishes between factors that hinder the manuscript's acceptance and those that improve its quality, and suggests specific revisions for the manuscript.

Frequently asked questions

Empirical or theoretical articles, technical reports, literature reviews, thesis proposals, thesis chapters, and conference abstracts.
No. The skill works with Claude Code or Cowork without any external MCP; you just need to provide the text of the document to be evaluated.
"N/A" is assigned when a dimension does not apply to the document being evaluated; for example, data in a proposal that does not yet include such information.
Yes. The comparative approach applies the same criteria to two or more studies to assess their relative quality.
