Review Criteria

Review Criteria is where you can create a pre-defined list of review criteria for your reviewers to use during their review process.

Some ideas for review criteria include:

  • Content
  • Accuracy
  • Relevance
  • Visual Appeal
  • Anything you can imagine!

The fields in Review Criteria are:

  • Name - the name of the criterion.
  • Score Type - these are the ways your reviewers can input their rating of these criteria:
    • Check Box - the reviewer will check a box to indicate the criterion has been met. (Also enter the weighting percentage for this condition here.)
    • Date - to record any date relevant to the paper review.
    • Score - number that falls in a pre-set range. (Also enter the range, and the weighting percentage for this condition here.)
    • Number - good for numbers that may not fall in a known range. (e.g. word count)
    • Percentage - number out of a hundred.
    • Tag - select the review value from tags.
    • Text - free-form text, for when no other category carries enough information.
Caution: Once you Save, the Score Type cannot be changed.
  • Display Ordering - you can assign the order in which each criterion is displayed on the screen, with lower numbers being higher on the list than larger numbers.
  • Weighting - enter a weighting percentage number for this specific review criterion.
