Research Novelty Review

Quick start

1. Start skeptical: treat the contribution as incremental until the evidence says otherwise.
2. Decompose the claim into searchable units before looking at any literature.
3. Search strongest overlaps first, not flattering long-tail analogies.
4. Write down novelty-killing objections explicitly before giving any green light.
5. When reviewing a paper, consume research-paper-review and the exact validated research-systematic-literature-review pack before deciding.
6. Keep novelty positioning separate from empirical validity: a strong novelty rating does not show that the method works or authorize evidence promotion.
7. End with a 1-5 novelty decision rating, not a coarse ternary label, plus the narrowest defensible positioning.
