Implement scheme as local JS form?

nicebread commented 12 months ago

Desiderata:

usability for applicants
privacy (runs only locally)
ability to save and load data into the form
nice to have: export in different formats (JSON, maybe a PDF report for the applicants?)
low maintenance costs (no server component, easy framework)
How can hiring committees customize it? --> cf. "menu approach".
- e.g. select subsets of indicators
- e.g. change reward points
- But how would that work with xlsx sheets without breaking the accompanying R scripts?
Applicants can provide up to 12 contributions - either Publications, Data sets, or Software. We need these 12 (<- customizable) slots, and that they can change between the slots. (Maybe tabs?)
Enter author metadata (last name, maybe more items later) only once
Include version number in json-definition and in saved json --> Warning if version number does not match
For transparency, applicants should be able to see their reward points. Hence, implement scoring logic into website.
- Put scores into definition json

Start with the RESQUE-Pubs scheme - this is mostly complete.

Do we need a minimal validation of the definition-json?

I imagine the scenario, that a committee removes a set of items (which they don't want), but thereby break the logic of points, as another item refers to a deleted item in a condition.

TODOs:

[x] add "eval_dimension" to the json (defaults to "", but can be provided for each indicator). (Can be "Rigor", "Impact", maybe more stuff)
[x] Add scoring information to json
[x] Implement scoring logic
[x] Add version number to json
[x] Add export option of all fields, so that committees get an overview of all questions (e.g., show all hidden fields, show all instructions and export as PDF in browser?)
