Montevideocriteria

Montevideocriteria is a term that appears in a limited number of scholarly works as an informal label for evaluation frameworks associated with Montevideo, Uruguay. It is not a widely standardized term, and there is no single, universally accepted definition. In practice, Montevideocriteria shows up in publications where authors reference criteria that were proposed, developed, or applied in Montevideo, but the exact content of the criteria varies by field, author, and publication. Because of this variability, the meaning of Montevideocriteria must be understood from the context, including the domain, the year of publication, and the source itself.

Because Montevideocriteria is not a canonical concept, discussions of it should cite the specific source to determine what criteria are being described, how they were derived, and whether they have undergone validation. The term functions as a contextual tag rather than a cross-disciplinary framework. When encountered, it is advisable to look for the full phrase used in the source—for example, “Montevideo criteria for X”—to identify the precise criteria and their intended application. The term is best treated as a regional or author-specific label rather than a universally recognized standard.
