First-pass summary

Carnegie Mellon is strongest in data-intensive and digital research support, backed by actionable consultation services.

Standout signal

Research-data support spans planning, active work, sharing, preservation, and compliance.

Clearest opportunity

Create a single visible path from manuscript readiness through journal choice, rights, and dissemination.

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

13/15

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

The services overview surfaces data, digital scholarship, consultations, and research support, though publishing help is distributed.

□ Confirmed   □ Corrected   □ Insufficient evidence

Reviewer note: __________________________________________

Literature search and evidence synthesis

12/15

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

Subject help and research consultations are visible; evidence-synthesis support is not a central cross-disciplinary offer.

□ Confirmed   □ Corrected   □ Insufficient evidence

Reviewer note: __________________________________________

Manuscript preparation and submission

14/20

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

Digital scholarship and research workflows support production, with modest public manuscript-submission guidance.

□ Confirmed   □ Corrected   □ Insufficient evidence

Reviewer note: __________________________________________

Open access, copyright, and publishing

16/20

Public support covers publishing options, open access, rights, repositories, and author-cost questions.

Repository, open scholarship, copyright, and publishing support are available across library services.

□ Confirmed   □ Corrected   □ Insufficient evidence

Reviewer note: __________________________________________

Integrity, reproducibility, data, and AI

18/20

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

Data planning, sharing, preservation, and reproducible research receive detailed lifecycle coverage.

□ 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 and service request routes make specialist help actionable.
