First-pass summary

Brown exposes a connected research-support journey with particularly strong publishing, rights, data, and consultation services.

Standout signal

A central hub routes researchers from evidence discovery through publication and preservation.

Clearest opportunity

Surface more manuscript-submission checklists and reporting-guideline support from the central hub.

Dimension review

Check the score, note, and evidence boundary.

Confirm only when the note is supported by the cited institution-owned pages. A missing public signal means it was not discoverable in the reviewed evidence, not that the service does not exist.

Findability and navigation

15/15

A researcher can find a coherent support hub, subject expertise, and a clear route to help.

A central research-support page connects subject expertise, data, literature searching, publishing, copyright, and consultations.

□ Confirmed   □ Corrected   □ Insufficient evidence

Reviewer note: __________________________________________

Literature search and evidence synthesis

13/15

The institution offers practical help with searching, evidence synthesis, citations, and research discovery.

Literature reviews, citation tools, and specialist research help are visible from the main support path.

□ Confirmed   □ Corrected   □ Insufficient evidence

Reviewer note: __________________________________________

Manuscript preparation and submission

16/20

Researchers can find guidance for writing, reporting, publication strategy, and preparing work for submission.

Publication strategy and repository support are explicit, although submission-stage templates are less prominent.

□ Confirmed   □ Corrected   □ Insufficient evidence

Reviewer note: __________________________________________

Open access, copyright, and publishing

18/20

Open access, copyright, licensing, and repository services form a clear public publishing pathway.

□ Confirmed   □ Corrected   □ Insufficient evidence

Reviewer note: __________________________________________

Integrity, reproducibility, data, and AI

17/20

Researchers can access data-management, reproducibility, research-integrity, and responsible-AI guidance.

Data management and responsible research workflows are well represented across the linked services.

□ Confirmed   □ Corrected   □ Insufficient evidence

Reviewer note: __________________________________________

Practical access and maintenance

9/10

Help is actionable through consultations, workshops, templates, accessible pages, and current maintenance.

Consultations, training, and direct service contacts make the support actionable.

□ Confirmed   □ Corrected   □ Insufficient evidence
