French term or phrase: grille de lecture
Hi

I'm translating, as a favour, a short, 170-word thesis abstract. The thesis investgiates possible specific benefits to health of a vegetarian or vegan diet.

"Grille de lecture" has a couple of entries in the glossary but they don't fit here:


"Une revue de la littérature a été réalisée dans la base de données XX en ne sélectionnant que les études randomisées d'intervention. Les articles retenus ont été évalués à l'aide d'une *grille de lecture.*

I'm guessing these are some kind of guidelines, listing information which the doctoral candidate is looking for in each article. Any PhDs out there who can help?!


Many thanks!

criteria or model
Explanation:
Although I usually translate this term with "analytical model/instrument/or something similar", I think here you could get away with something simpler which explains that the articles will be assessed using the same criteria or model.

"Grid chart" would probably the closest to the original, but it sounds weird to my ear in a PhD context.

I would use probably go with "model" as the safest bet. If you really want to keep the "grille" idea, you could use "grid model" but I'm sure you can get by without it.

Best,
Jocelyne

You could also use "standard model" or "standard criteria" to convey that the same approach will be used for all articles.
