Review procedure
N.B. Reviews are executed for self-assessed contributions only.
In order to review the self-assessment of a contribution, you have to be logged in (DARIAH login), and you need to be assigned to the review.
For each contribution two reviewers are assigned (first and second reviewer), the second reviewer can only start his/her review when the first reviewer has finished his/her review.
The two reviewers have distinct roles:
- reviewer 1 (expert) inspects the assessment closely and advises a decision;
- reviewer 2 (final say) makes the decision.
Both reviewers can enter comments in a comment stream, which are detail records of the assessment.
The advice/decision that can be made by the reviewers is
- Approve End of review process with positive outcome. The assessment will remain locked. The assessment score will be made public.
- Reject End of review process with negative outcome. The assessment will remain locked. No assessment score will be made public. The applicant (submitter of the assessment) may enter an objection. In that case the back office will ask a second opinion and take appropriate action, which might lead to a change of decision, e.g. towards revise, or to a new review by other reviewers.
- Revise The assessment and contribution will be unlocked, and the applicant can modify both of them in response to comments by the reviewers. When (s)he is finished, the applicant can resubmit the modified version.
Screen after login, at the left hand navigation you see a list of your reviews (independent of their status).
To gain an overview, please use the filter function, select assessed contributions,
and click on those records with the status 'in review'.
As a result you get a tabular overview, and we will look into two contributions (circled) in more detail.
For the first example contribution (ACDH lectures) Scharnhorst is the second reviewer,
and can see the criteria (4 in this case) but cannot enter any review
before the first reviewer is finished.
Please note that different types of contributions have different assessment criteria.
In particular, contributions of the type services can have very detailed criteria.
Use this wiki to familiarise yourself with the meaning of these rather specific criteria.
For the second example contribution (Bibliography: Doing Digital Humanities) the next four snapshots show you how to start the review, how to proceed, and how to finish it.
