Evaluation of neutron-induced reactions between 0 eV and 20 MeV is mainly based on nuclear reaction models with parameters estimated from data assimilation on experiments. Several inconsistencies may appear such as mismatches for the cross sections, larger uncertainties on boundary and no cross-correlations between high energy domain and resonance range. In addition, different evaluations could give good overall behaviour of integral experiments with large compensating effects among them. After a summary of several methods which take into account physical constraints on overlapping energy domains where two nuclear reaction models are needed, we focus on a review of the use of integral experiments as additional physical constraints in the evaluation of parameters and cross section covariances. In particular, we present comparison of traditional multigroup adjustment with data assimilation based on nuclear model parameters by the analysis of JEZEBEL. A general consistency is obtained between these adjustments as well as important reduction of fission cross section uncertainties.
