+# Quality Standards for Academic Paper Strategy
+
+This document defines the quality evaluation criteria used throughout the strategic planning phase.
+
+## Phase 1: Platform Analysis Quality Standards
+
+### 1.1 Sample Paper Selection Quality
+
+**Time Distribution**:
+- ✓ Recent (last 6 months): 3 papers - captures current trends
+- ✓ Current (1-2 years): 3 papers - represents accepted standards
+- ✓ Classic (highly cited): 2 papers - establishes benchmarks
+- **Minimum**: 8 papers total
+
+**Relevance Scoring** (0-10 scale):
+- 9-10: Directly addresses user's topic with same methodology
+- 7-8: Related topic or similar approach
+- 5-6: Adjacent field or partial overlap
+- <5: Insufficient relevance, exclude
+- **Target**: Average relevance ≥ 8.0
+
+**Diversity Checks**:
+- ✓ At least 5 different authors
+- ✓ At least 3 different research perspectives/schools
+- ✓ Varied paper lengths (short/medium/long form)
+- ✓ Different subfields if applicable
+
+**Quality Indicators**:
+- ✓ Has DOI or permanent identifier
+- ✓ Complete abstract available
+- ✓ Proper citation format
+- ✓ Published on target platform
+
+**Sample Evaluation Report Template**:
+```markdown
+| # | Title | Authors | Date | Relevance | Selection Reason |
+|---|-------|---------|------|-----------|------------------|
+| 1 | ... | ... | YYYY-MM | 9/10 | Direct methodological match |
+| 2 | ... | ... | YYYY-MM | 8/10 | Similar theoretical framework |
+...
+```
+
+### 1.2 Platform Matching Quality
+
+**Platform Relevance Score** (0-10):
+- Subject area alignment
+- Methodology fit (philosophical/empirical/computational)
+- Format compatibility
+- Historical acceptance rate
+
+**Minimum**: 7/10 for recommended platform
+
+---
+
+## Phase 2: Literature Review Quality Standards
+
+### 2.1 Literature Search Comprehensiveness
+
+**Coverage Metrics**:
+- **Minimum**: 20 core papers
+- **Recommended**: 30-50 papers
+- **Time span**: Last 5 years + foundational classics
+- **Source diversity**: At least 3 major journals/venues
+
+**Keyword Coverage**:
+- ✓ All core concepts covered (3-5 concepts)
+- ✓ Related terms and synonyms searched
+- ✓ Adjacent fields explored
+- **Evaluation**: Each concept should yield 5-10 relevant papers
+
+**Search Quality Checklist**:
+```markdown
+Round 1: Direct Search
+- ✓ 10-15 keyword combinations used
+- ✓ 30-50 papers collected
+- ✓ Top 20 papers retained after relevance filter
+
+Round 2: Expanded Search
+- ✓ New keywords extracted from Round 1 papers
+- ✓ Adjacent fields searched
+- ✓ 10-20 additional papers collected
+
+Round 3: Classic Literature
+- ✓ High-citation papers identified (>100 citations)
+- ✓ Foundational works included
+- ✓ 5-10 seminal papers added
+```
+
+### 2.2 Research Gap Identification Quality
+
+**Gap Definition Quality** (each gap must have):
+1. **Specificity**: Clearly defined boundaries
+2. **Evidence**: 3-5 citations showing gap exists
+3. **Feasibility**: Reasonable for user to address
+4. **Significance**: Addresses important question
+
+**Gap Types** (identify 3-5 total):
+- **Complete gaps**: Entirely unresearched area
+- **Partial gaps**: Understudied or preliminary work only
+- **Controversy gaps**: Unresolved debates
+
+**Quality Check**:
+```markdown
+For each gap, verify:
+- ✓ No existing paper directly addresses this (evidence-based)
+- ✓ Related work acknowledges this as limitation
+- ✓ Gap aligns with user's research direction
+- ✓ Filling gap would constitute original contribution
+```
+
+### 2.3 Originality Assessment Quality
+
+**Similarity Analysis Requirements**:
+- **Minimum**: Compare with 15 related papers
+- **Recommended**: Compare with 20-30 papers
+- **Method**: Identify conceptual/methodological overlaps
+
+**Similarity Categories**:
+- High (>80%): Requires repositioning or abandonment
+- Medium (50-80%): Emphasize differences, may proceed
+- Low (<50%): Good originality, proceed
+
+**Innovation Identification**:
+Must identify at least 2 of:
+- Methodological innovation (new approach)
+- Theoretical innovation (new framework)
+- Application innovation (new problem domain)
+- Integrative innovation (novel synthesis)
+
+**Impact Prediction Criteria** (1-10 scale):
+- Gap importance (5 points): Core vs peripheral problem
+- Generalizability (3 points): Applicable beyond narrow case
+- Explanatory power (2 points): Resolves existing puzzles
+
+**Quality**: Must provide 300-word justification for impact score
+
+---
+
+## Phase 3: Outline Optimization Quality Standards
+
+### 3.1 Structure Quality
+
+**Chapter Proportion Standards** (for philosophy papers):

+
+## Notes
+
+- These standards are calibrated for **philosophy and interdisciplinary papers** on **preprint platforms**
+- Standards may need adjustment for pure empirical sciences or formal logic papers
+- When in doubt, err on the side of higher quality standards—better to over-prepare than under-prepare
