The editor's rubric
- Leverage2 / 5
- Reusable within one subfield (a technique, dataset, or protocol a few groups will adopt).
- Magnitude2 / 5
- Solid incremental gain on a meaningful problem.
- Evidence2 / 5
- Limited: single setting, weak baselines, or an observational association presented as causal.
- Novelty2 / 5
- A new combination of known ideas.
- Trajectory2 / 5
- Some room to improve with obvious engineering.
- Stakes2 / 5
- Benefits a professional community (practitioners, clinicians, engineers).
Editor’s rationale
Heuristic triage from title and abstract text only, not a reading of the paper. Cues found: novelty (open problem); stakes (energy).
