Abstract
The UK Higher Education Academy has commissioned and made available four online modules for librarians interested in undertaking systematic reviews. The Units are aimed at undergraduates in library and information studies preparing for their final project or dissertation. Postgraduates in library and information science should also find the materials relevant to their research training. Using examples from the library and information science literature the modules take the user through topics needed to carry out a systematic review including: what is a systematic review, formulating searches for research evidence, producing a systematic review (sifting and grading evidence) and meta-analysis, meta-synthesis and guidelines. The Units complement, but do not replace existing research methods modules. Authored by Dr. Christine Urquhart, Alison Yeoman and Dina Tbaishat from the University of Aberystwyth, UK, and Alison Brettle from the University of Salford, UK, the modules are available online or to download from http://www.ics.heacademy.ac.uk/resources/rlos/systematic_review/.

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
