Features of Rating

Rating is a star rating system with up to five stars. You can award an article by hovering over the stars with your pointer. The stars will fill with colour, depending on which star you are pointing. Depending on how much stars you want to give, just click on the appropriate star to confirm your rating. This means that the assessment will be counted in the number of assessments and also contributes to the average evaluation.
This proceeding can be repeated at will. After the first rating, the following assessments will not be counted as a new evaluation.

If the rating tool is positioned in the StateBar, you can also view your assessment for the article in addition to the average evaluation and the number of all assessments for the article. Open the details of the StateBar and your rating is displayed there.
