## Review boundary

This packet evaluates how easy institution-owned research-publishing support is to discover and use from public pages. It does not evaluate research quality, prestige, faculty performance, or the private quality of services. The first-pass composite is not a national rank, award, certification, or endorsement.

## First-pass summary

Princeton exposes unusually strong systematic-review, quantitative-methods, data-curation, and scholarly-communication support, though the end-to-end pathway remains distributed.

- Standout signal: Systematic-review assistance sits alongside statistical consulting and research-data curation.
- Clearest opportunity: Create a more explicit manuscript-preparation and journal-submission journey that unifies the existing services.

- Independent check: [ ] Confirmed  [ ] Corrected  [ ] Insufficient evidence
- Reviewer note:

### Practical access and maintenance

- First-pass assessment: 8/10
- Rubric question: Help is actionable through consultations, workshops, templates, accessible pages, and current maintenance.
