Research candidates for evaluation

Early stageIn use for research discovery and prioritization. Coverage and scoring are still developing. Add evidence, ratings, or corrections to help improve the shortlist; the team makes final evaluation decisions.

Help choose research for independent evaluation by The Unjournal

Independent-rating view. Existing priority scores, recommendations, human feedback, and prioritization analyses are hidden until you rate each paper in this browser, reducing anchoring from other judgments. Abstracts and source metadata remain visible. Papers are ordered newest first. Why rate independently? Return to the full dashboard.

Find impactful research for your own work, and help The Unjournal prioritize research with impact potential for evaluation / peer review. Sort and filter by field, source, and cause (topic), then add your prioritization judgment.
Scores estimate evaluation priority and global impact potentialHow strongly we recommend commissioning an independent Unjournal evaluation of this paper. This considers decision relevance, the added value of evaluation, timing, and likely influence. A high score does not mean the research is good or bad. on a 0–100 scale. They are not ratings of research quality. These are also provisional and AI-generated unless noted below.

Scoring methodology
How human suggestions reach Unjournal team review

Public-safe human suggestions appear here with their origin. A qualifying team rating—or sufficiently strong, discussed public feedback—flags the paper for an independent team assessment and adds a Needs further prioritization assessment label. Team members can follow that label to the internal prioritization hub (sign-in required) for an independent follow-up assessment. The label marks a workflow step. Under our current commissioning policyPolicy dated October 1, 2026, for roughly the next ten papers/projects while funding is limited: anyone can nominate research. Two management-team members strongly approving makes it conditionally approved; strong support from several field specialists also receives serious consideration. Conditional approvals are announced in relevant team Slack channels, with one week for the whole team, including field specialists, to raise strong doubts. If none are raised, commissioning proceeds. Email contact@unjournal.org to request email notifications., two management-team strong approvals trigger conditional approval and a one-week team review before commissioning.

About this prioritization tool

The Unjournal commissions public evaluations of economics, quantitative social science, forecasting, and policy-relevant research that can inform global welfare decisions. This tool discovers candidates and gathers AI and human prioritization judgments. Read how to use this project, the scoring methodology, or the rating and privacy guide. For corrections, use the feedback buttons on each paper or the Hypothes.is sidebar.

Turn on quick rating to add your judgment directly on each card. Preview the abstract, then choose --, -, ~, +, or ++ directly on the card. Written comments and a percentile rating can be added from Details / rate/discuss. Revisiting a paper from the same browser updates that rating rather than adding another.

Revised impact rubric · updating coverage

The revised impact assessment considers what the research adds to global welfare compared with existing knowledge and alternatives. It supplies the impact component of both display lenses and custom weights where available. Read the rubric, prompt and change notes, or compare impact assessments.

Score weights
Custom weights

Adjust these sliders to create your own priority score, then sort by Custom weights. This changes only your browser view; it does not change The Unjournal scorer.

Scores combine AI estimates with human ratings where available. Small score differences are not decisive. Open a paper for the evidence and rating breakdown.

Suggest research for this list

Know of high-impact research we should consider for evaluation — or other work this tool should be doing? Leave an email if you're open to follow-up discussion; if we later introduce compensation for useful contributions, earlier contributors will be grandfathered in.

We know you may have doubts about contributing to a largely AI-driven site. We’ll try to respond personally to each substantial contribution. To flag something directly or discuss the value of contributing, email contact@unjournal.org.

Is this your own research? This form is for suggesting others’ work. To submit your own work (or your organisation’s) for evaluation, please use the author submission form ↓.

On The Unjournal team? Use the team suggestion form ↓ instead — it adds the internal fields (your team identity, COI considerations, second-opinion routing, fast-tracking) and is the reward-eligible route.
