The panels are required to produce more precise justification of what level Level 1 criteria the channels rated at level Level 0 do not meet (see 3.2). For Levels Level 2 and Level 3, the panels need to produce on a general level provide, in general terms, the principles and criteria on basis of which that form the basis for the the classification is made. In addition, the aim is to record channel-specific justifications for decisions that significantly deviate from the impact factors or the Norway Norwegian and Denmark's Danish ratings of expert panels:
• If the channel gets level Level 2 or Level 3, even if though the channel is classified at Level 1 in Norway and Denmark for level 1, or if the channel gets level Level 1 even though it is classified in level at Level 2 in Norway and Denmark.
• If the channel receives a higher level than another channel representing the same field of research, the impact of which in the international scientific community is significantly higher on the basis of the indicators.
