Self assessment
In order to add a self-assessment to a contribution, you have to be logged in, and you have to have sufficient permissions for the contribution in question, e.g. as the creator of the contribution or as an editor.
If you have created the contribution yourself, it is accessible in the list under 'My contributions'. If you have been added as an editor to a contribution, you will need to look-up the contribution from the list under 'All contributions'.
To add a self assessment, open the contribution by clicking on the black arrow left of the contribution's title, and select 'Start a self-assessment for this contribution', which is found below the box with all the core metadata.
The self-assessment form consists of three boxes. In the upper one, a summary of the contribution's core metadata is given and the bottom one calculates the score of the assessment. The box in the middle contains the actual assessment criteria for this specific type of contribution. The criteria for the services are listed on the page Assessment criteria services. The criteria for activities vary per subtype and can be found on page 31-37 of De Leeuw et al. 2017.
For every criterion you are asked to provide two pieces of information:
- score: your rating of how well your contribution complies with this criterion. The values to choose from are dependent on the criterion.
- evidence: A reason, a document, or any accessible piece of information that proves or indicates the validity of your score assignment.
Your assessment will get a total score computed as the average of all individual scores.
In this computation, all scores with non-applicable will not be counted.
So if there are 14 criteria, and you have twice non-applicable, your total score will be the
average of the 12 remaining scores.
Your first view on the criteria entry forms will a long sequence of red-framed boxes, one for each criterion. They are all in edit mode, so you can fill them out right away.
As soon as you have entered a score and a piece of evidence for a criterion, the red frame will change into green, and they will be shown in a more compact read-only mode.
Your evidence will remain in view, unless you choose to collapse it.
