The literal meaning is ok. Thank you~

Discussion

You asked for the meaning and not for the best way to translate the phrase, so I'll avoid proposing a new answer here, but when translating an old academic text, I'd definitely go for 'as shall be seen', as long as the context suggested that we were dealing with a parenthesis of this type. This is also very similar to Sandra's, 'as will become apparent.'

Here, the crux of the problem is that we don't know what exactly the 'sicut videbitur' refers to. Parenthesis is more likely, but reference to a more specific 'it' (which might as well be an entire clause) is also possible.

as will appear

Without any context, that's the first translation that comes to mind.
Could be "as will be apparent", too.

as will seem proper / right

I don't disagree with other answers posted, but this is another possibility.
