Please predict whether this patent is acceptable.PATENT ABSTRACT: This invention is for a standardized process to quantify the value of research manuscripts. It consists of four steps: 1) the overall argument structure of the paper is encoded into a language of symbolic logic, 2) each logic statement is assigned a probability value based on information provided in the manuscript, 3) the methodologies used in the research manuscript are examined, and 4) the research manuscript is inspected for any duplicate text or images. Each step assigns or modifies probability values to some or all of the logical statements in the overall logical argument, and the result is a single probability value indicating the value of the manuscript. This process may be performed by humans or by a computer capable of some or all of the following functions: text and/or image recognition; and the use of electronic databases containing information regarding symbolic logic, statistics and research methodologies.
