Research Publication Readiness Scorecard
A final scorecard for confirming that a Research article is complete, evidenced, and ready for the GitHub publication boundary.
Key stats
- Readiness is a set of passed gates, not a subjective confidence statement.
- Evidence, structure, links, metadata, and build checks should be recorded separately.
- A failed central gate means the article is not ready.
Key takeaways
- Check family ownership and uniqueness first.
- Resolve factual and structural blockers before polish.
- Record the exact validation evidence.
Scorecard
Apply the research brief quality gates and record each result.
| Gate | Pass signal |
|---|---|
| Identity | Unique Research slug and title |
| Evidence | Sources support material claims |
| Structure | Required sections and links exist |
| Technical | Content and build checks pass |
Methodology and limitations
This scorecard combines public research, quality, search, accessibility, privacy, and security guidance. It is a release control, not a claim of live-site behavior.
