Abstract
A research project is only completed when it has been published and shared with the community. Referees and peer experts play an important role in controlling the research quality. While some new electronic tools provide further means of disseminating some research information, the quality and impact of the works remain linked with some thorough expert-review process and publication in international scientific journals and books; unethical publishing standards are not acceptable. The writer argues that the new electronic aids do not replace scholarship or critical thinking, although they have an impact on the working environment of civil engineers.Key words: research publications, quality, impact, peer reviews.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
