Source Alignment · 84%
The dashboard’s headline metric — the percentage of
citations in this cohort’s essays whose claims are faithfully
supported by what the cited source actually argues.
In plain English: whether students’ citations actually back up the claims they make.
If this number is rising, your source-literacy work is paying off.
The supporting KPIs
How much real student work the score is built from this term:
citations checked, students who’ve audited their essays, modules
with at least one audited submission.
Use the term and faculty filters above to drill into any cohort — a module, faculty, or term group.
The trajectory chart
Week-on-week movement of the cohort’s alignment score. The
dotted lines at 50 and 75 are reference bands, not targets.
A steady upward slope helps evidence improvement for OfS, quality assurance, or academic-integrity reporting.
Modules needing attention
Modules ranked by alignment score, lowest first. Where a cohort is
struggling, the chip suggests a specific Library-led intervention.
Share these with your academic-skills team as the term’s priority list.
Citation skills breakdown
The deeper “why.” Five academic skills, scored 0–100 in each
module. Red cells flag which specific cohort needs help with which
specific skill.
Target your one-shot workshops at the red cells, not the whole module.
