This document provides evaluation criteria for assessing a research abstract. It outlines 7 criteria: introduction/originality, research question/hypothesis, study design, methods, results, conclusions, and readability/organization. Each criterion is scored on a scale from 0 to 3, with 3 being the highest score. Comments can also be provided for each criterion. The criteria focus on establishing the importance and novelty of the research, clearly stating the research question or hypothesis, using an appropriate study design, thoroughly describing the methods, presenting results that directly address the research question, drawing conclusions supported by the results, and clearly communicating the abstract.
