Check the evidence for Harvard University.

This packet lets a second reviewer independently check the official sources and all six first-pass assessments. It evaluates public discoverability, not institutional prestige, research quality, or the private quality of services.

First-pass summary

Harvard exposes a deep support network across research discovery, data, repositories, scholarly communication, and consultations, though the experience spans several university units.

Standout signal

A broad, well-connected infrastructure for data stewardship and sharing research outputs.

Clearest opportunity

Unify school-specific manuscript review and final-submission help into a clearer university-wide path.

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 dedicated research-and-publishing hub organizes experts, tools, datasets, repositories, and partner services.

□ 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.

Research consultations, subject experts, dataset discovery, citation tools, and professional-school review services are easy to find.

□ Confirmed   □ Corrected   □ Insufficient evidence

Reviewer note: __________________________________________

Manuscript preparation and submission

15/20

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

Publishing and review support is visible, although final-submission guidance is distributed across units.

□ Confirmed   □ Corrected   □ Insufficient evidence

Reviewer note: __________________________________________

Open access, copyright, and publishing

17/20

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

Repositories, scholarly communication, copyright help, ORCID, and sharing infrastructure are prominent.

□ 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 plans, data consultations, Dataverse, and OSF cover much of the reproducible research lifecycle.

□ Confirmed   □ Corrected   □ Insufficient evidence

Reviewer note: __________________________________________

Practical access and maintenance

9/10

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

Personal consultations and specialist routes are clear; some services remain school-specific.

□ Confirmed   □ Corrected   □ Insufficient evidence
