[RQC-interest] Review Quality Collector (RQC) status update September 2018

["Lutz Prechelt" <prechelt@inf.fu-berlin.de>]

Dear all,

hmm, this is only the second message this year -- that's quiet
even by the standards of this list.

Today I can report that RQC for journals is sloooowly
(but surely) taking shape.
I have finished the data model and deployed it.
Today I have finished the web API, by which manuscript
handling systems will submit reviewing data to RQC,
and deployed it, too.
Both are still inactive, of course, because most everything
else is still missing.

The next step will be building an RQC adapter for the
Open Journal Systems (OJS) manuscript handling system,
which will serve to validate the API design.
OJS is Open Source, which massively simplifies things.

I welcome 21 new members on this list.
You may be wondering why I put you on it? 
It was because I found some writing of you or 
about you that strongly suggested you are interested in 
improving peer review.

With kind regards,

  Lutz Prechelt
