R0044/2026-04-01/Q003 — Self-Audit¶
ROBIS 4-Domain Audit¶
Domain 1: Eligibility Criteria¶
Rating: Low risk
| Criterion | Assessment |
|---|---|
| Criteria defined before searching | Yes — sought publications explicitly connecting both vocabulary sets |
| Criteria applied consistently | Yes — same standard applied to all sources |
| Criteria shift detected | No |
Domain 2: Search Comprehensiveness¶
Rating: Some concerns
| Criterion | Assessment |
|---|---|
| Multiple search strategies used | Yes — direct bridge search + overreliance as bridging concept |
| Searches designed to test each hypothesis | Yes |
| All results dispositioned | Yes — 20 results returned, all dispositioned |
| Source diversity achieved | Moderate — 3 sources, 2 showing bridging, 1 counterexample |
Notes: Concern: Only 3 sources directly relevant. The small number reflects the scarcity of bridging work rather than insufficient searching. Conference proceedings and working group outputs may contain bridging work not indexed in web search.
Domain 3: Evaluation Consistency¶
Rating: Low risk
| Criterion | Assessment |
|---|---|
| All sources scored using same framework | Yes |
| Evidence typed consistently | Yes |
| ACH matrix applied | Yes |
| Diagnosticity analysis performed | Yes |
Domain 4: Synthesis Fairness¶
Rating: Low risk
| Criterion | Assessment |
|---|---|
| All hypotheses given fair hearing | Yes — H1 (formal bridge) was actively searched for |
| Contradictory evidence surfaced | Yes — Malmqvist counterexample included |
| Confidence calibrated to evidence | Yes — Medium reflects small source base |
| Gaps acknowledged | Yes |
Domain 5: Source-Back Verification¶
Rating: Low risk
| Source | Claim in Assessment | Source Actually Says | Match? |
|---|---|---|---|
| SRC01 | Uses both automation bias and sycophancy | Directly verified: paper explicitly discusses both | Yes |
| SRC03 | No reference to human factors | Directly verified: no human factors terms found | Yes |
Discrepancies found: 0
Corrections applied: None needed
Unresolved flags: None
Overall Assessment¶
Overall risk of bias: Low risk
Researcher Bias Check¶
- Gap-confirming bias: The query implied the bridge does not exist. The evidence mostly confirms this but Ibrahim et al. was surfaced as a meaningful exception. The assessment appropriately distinguishes between formal and functional bridging.
