The submission and assessment system of contributions, which wasn’t developed by the project Humanities at Scale, differentiates between contributions and in-kind contributions.
| Asset | Definition |
|---|---|
| Contribution | Any relevant research output or activity a DARIAH partner submits as DARIAH-related work. See the types of contributions and assessment criteria for typology and criteria. |
| In-kind contribution (IKC) | A contribution selected by National Coordinator as in-kind for given member country and year. |
All the research outputs created by DARIAH affiliated institutions are considered as contributions. This means that the whole DARIAH research community can benefit from such services (e.g. digitised resources, tools, registries etc.) without the contributions being recognised as “in-kind contributions”, which represents a further level of selection and assessment.
This selection is performed by the countries’ national coordinators, who decide which contributions will be officially submitted to DARIAH-EU as part of their annual participation and contribution to the DARIAH ERIC. In a second phase, the selected contributions are assessed both for their formal aspects (e.g. responding URL) as well as for the quality of the content. This is performed by peer reviewers among the working groups and the VCC heads1. Both submission and assessment of the contributions are performed in the DARIAH Contributions Tool, whose scope and functioning is explained in detail in the HaS deliverable D5.1.
