You can rate what you think is the quality of a PUBLICATION,
and how much it interested you. RATINGS are made on a scale of 1 to 7, with 7 being the highest
rating. RATINGS are continuously updated and the most current
results are displayed in the STATISTICS box in the publication
record. Displayed results include two
things: the total number of RATINGS, and the average RATINGS (calculated by
dividing the sum of all RATINGS by the number of all RATINGS). Only getCITED
members can rate publications.You can only rate a
PUBLICATION once. However, you can change
your RATINGS at any time.
There are no established guidelines or criteria for rating publications, but there are no secrets either! All
individual RATINGS can be viewed by clicking the average rating link. This brings up
a "scorecard" that displays the members who rated the publication, the
date of the RATINGS, and the RATINGS themselves. Members' names are displayed as
LINKS,
so that you can quickly acknowledge (or challenge!) those peers who rated
your publication.
Note that PARENT PUBLICATIONS have RATINGS
listed, but do not allow you to
rate the publication itself. That's because the rating is based on the RATINGS
of child publications within the parent.
Members are also encouraged to
provide more detailed responses to publications by e-mailing other members or
posting COMMENTS on the onlineAGORA.
