Five-Dimension Checklist

DimensionQuestions
ContributionWhat new knowledge does this section make visible? Is the novelty type clear?
Writing clarityCan a knowledgeable reader follow the paragraph roles, terms, and notation?
Experimental strengthAre performance or result claims supported by visible metrics and settings?
Evaluation completenessAre baselines, ablations, metrics, and datasets sufficient for the claims?
Method soundnessAre assumptions, module motivations, and limitations explicit?

Claim-Evidence Map

Use this compact shape in responses:

text
Claim: exact claim or proposed claim
Evidence: citation / figure / table / metric / method section / missing
Status: supported / needs evidence / unsupported
Safe wording: bounded wording that fits the visible evidence
Missing evidence: concrete experiment, citation verification, comparison, or detail

Revision Decisions

  • supported: keep the claim, but preserve setting boundaries.
  • needs evidence: keep only as a weak or conditional claim, or request the missing anchor.
  • unsupported: remove, soften, or mark as pending evidence.

Rejection-Risk Signals

  • A major Abstract or Introduction claim has no experiment evidence.
  • A method module has no motivation or ablation.
  • Related Work omits the strongest comparator.
  • Discussion repeats results without mechanism or limitation.
  • Conclusion claims the problem is solved beyond the evaluated setting.
