AskAFriend Publishing Research Team Last Updated: May 2026

This page provides access to the public research assets associated with the AskAFriend.com meta‑analysis evaluating AI‑generated consumer guidance across six applied domains. These materials support transparency, reproducibility, and open scientific practice while respecting journal pre‑publication requirements.

Purpose of This Repository

The AskAFriend Research Repository contains supporting materials used in the development and execution of the study, including:

  • documentation supporting the prompt‑response‑evaluation pipeline
  • non‑sensitive methodological assets
  • code used for data handling and scoring
  • version history and change logs
  • supplementary materials referenced in the protocol

The repository does not contain the full protocol paper, full prompt library, or full scoring rubric until a DOI is issued through a preprint server or journal publication.

Access the Repository

The public GitHub repository is available here:

👉 AskAFriend Research Repository (GitHub)

This repository is maintained by the AskAFriend Publishing Research Team and updated as the study progresses.

What the Repository Includes

The repository may include:

  • Supporting documentation High-level descriptions of folder structures, data formats, and evaluation workflows.
  • Code and scripts Tools used for automated scoring, metadata handling, and reproducibility checks.
  • Version history A transparent record of updates to the evaluation pipeline and supporting materials.
  • Supplementary materials Non-sensitive assets referenced in the protocol or methodology pages.

These materials are designed to support transparency without releasing the full manuscript prior to DOI assignment.

What the Repository Does Not Include (Pre‑Publication)

To comply with journal submission standards, the repository does not include:

  • the full protocol paper
  • the full prompt library (180–240 prompts)
  • the full evaluation rubric with scoring anchors
  • the full analysis plan
  • any content that constitutes prior publication of the manuscript

These items will be added after the protocol receives a DOI via preprint or journal acceptance.

How This Repository Supports the Study

The repository is part of the study’s commitment to:

  • methodological transparency
  • open science practices
  • reproducibility
  • cross‑domain evaluation integrity
  • public accountability

It allows researchers, reviewers, and the public to understand how the evaluation pipeline is structured without disclosing embargoed content.

Future DOI Link Placeholder

Once the full protocol is published as a preprint or accepted by a journal, a DOI link will be added here:
