The phrase "academic judgement" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts where decisions or evaluations are made based on scholarly criteria or standards.

Manual observation skills and academic judgement are required to assess written work in order to detect unoriginal submissions (Bretag & Mahmud, 2009).
Academic judgement is also required as text matching algorithms rely on word and character matches, as at this time, semantic meaning cannot be matched through electronic assessment checking (Rogerson & McCarthy, 2017).
A recent review conducted by the UK regulator, the Quality Assurance Agency, stated "Case law appears to indicate a reluctance on the part of the courts to be involved in cases involving plagiarism, deeming this to be a matter for academic judgement that falls outside the competence of the court (Hines v Birkbeck College [1985] 3 All ER 15)" (QAA 2016).
Manual analysis and academic judgement are integral parts of the process of detection of plagiarised materials (Bretag & Mahmud, 2009b), and are heavily reliant on the level of experience an assessor has in identifying clues, markers and textual patterns (Rogerson & Bassanta, 2016).
Where electronic means of detection are employed a level of academic judgement is still required due to expected matches such as topic areas; restating an essay question; use of specific materials, references, materials, formulae, design, theory; and/or disciplinary specific terms such as treatment methods, chemical compounds, jurisdiction or curricula.
