Why rate independently?
The standard dashboard is useful for discussion, but its existing scores and analyses can anchor a new judgment. The independent-rating view hides priority scores, recommendations, human feedback, and AI prioritization analysis until you submit your own rating for that paper in this browser.
Papers are always ordered by date, newest first, in the independent view. Abstracts and source metadata remain visible so you can make an informed first pass.
Open the independent-rating viewQuick ratings and percentile equivalents
The five-point scale answers: “How strongly should The Unjournal commission an independent evaluation?” For aggregation and sorting, these choices are translated to percentile-equivalent scores:
Detailed ratings can use any 0–100 percentile. A later rating from the same browser revises that paper’s current rating rather than intentionally adding another current vote.
What is published and what remains private?
| Contribution | Default handling |
|---|---|
| Numeric rating | Anonymous by default. If you choose, credited privately (Unjournal staff see your name; the public listing stays anonymous), or shown publicly with your chosen name. |
| Discussion | Public and anonymous by default for new entries. You choose public anonymous, public with a chosen name or pseudonym, team-only, or confidential administration-only visibility. |
| Name | Published only when you choose named public discussion or a named public rating. |
| Email, browser key, submission ID | Never published on the dashboard. |
The credit choice applies to each rating separately, and a later revision of the same rating replaces it (quick ratings are always anonymous). Ratings given before this choice existed stay anonymous in public output. When some ratings on a paper are publicly named, a separate average of the remaining anonymous ratings is shown only when there are at least three of them.
How the human–AI synthesis works
Each person’s latest rating for a paper counts once. Quick ratings have weight 1. A full rating has weight 2 without detailed discussion, weight 3 for a public rating with detailed discussion, and weight 4 for a team rating with detailed discussion. “Detailed” currently means at least 120 characters or 20 words.
The AI score has weight 3 in the same quick-rating equivalents. Papers without human feedback retain their AI score. These weights are intentionally described as provisional and should be revisited as evidence accumulates.
