Clearest opportunity
Make reproducibility and responsible-AI guidance as visible as publishing and open-access support.
Dimension assessment
Where the public support pathway is strongest.
Findability and navigation
14/15Research help navigation exposes specialists, guides, formatting, impact, open access, preservation, and publishing services.
Literature search and evidence synthesis
11/15Specialists, research guides, and citation management are visible; systematic evidence support needs deeper verification.
Manuscript preparation and submission
18/20Formatting and a substantial publishing-services operation cover editorial, production, and dissemination needs.
Open access, copyright, and publishing
18/20Open-access help, copyright services, preservation, Michigan Publishing Services, and the university press are directly connected.
Integrity, reproducibility, data, and AI
15/20Data sharing and preservation are visible; reproducibility and AI guidance require further audit.
Practical access and maintenance
8/10The service menu and direct publishing contact are actionable, though workshop and freshness signals are less prominent.
Secondary methodology check: the published weighting produces a provisional composite of 84/100 (strong band). It is retained for reproducibility, not presented as a rank or award.
Official evidence
Every dimension assessment has a source.
Only institution-owned pages are used for assessment. The public edition will add a correction record and independent-review checks before release.

This record should improve when the evidence improves.
Independent reviewers can use the same six-dimension packet to check every source and note. If your institution offers a relevant service that is missing here, send the official page. We will review it under the same rubric and preserve the change in version history.
