Article assessment is a two week process. The first week is for accepting new submissions under the given theme, and the second week is for the assessment. Topics do overlap, so any given week sees the assessment of the current topic and acceptance of submissions for the next one.

Evaluations are conducted on the relevant subpage during the assessment week for that topic. Each article is assessed with a score of 1 to 10 under five categories, as listed below. The overall score is the most important of the five.
