6.1. Software required

6.1.2 Input scripts

To ease the creation of the database of judgemental information, scripts should be written that allow reviewers to enter their review and translate it into the required format (merging any numerical judgements with any existing ones). This could also preform some basic checking on the information (like the presence of the paper at the specified URL). The information update could then be released into the boards database with minimal extra checking required. A security system should allow only accredited reviewers to input reviews and an internal audit trail is needed of which reviewers submitted what in order that the board may trace actions done. The facilities for these scripts and associated security measures are widely available.
