Maintainer guidelines
Maintainer Roles
A maintainer has many jobs, but if they want to just browse biographies or author or review a biography, then they simply navigate to the main, author or reviewer sections. Functions that a maintainer may fulfil are listed below:
- claim projects from list
- show details of a project
- select claimed projects from list (appoint or clear)
- appoint reviewer (->'Peer_Review')
- read a biography
- create metadata schema from a biography (in Manager_Clear2 or Public_View states)
- minor correctional changes to biography text (or metadata schema)
- list reviewers
- search reviewers
- add a member to reviewer register with default values
- remove a member from reviewer register
- create a new user
- reset a user password
- change user details (status, category, username, email)
Criteria for role
This is a remunerated role. Appointment is based on merit selection.
Principles
- Respect for original research
- Protect anonymity of reviewer
Conflict of interest
With respect to conflicts of interest, board and other members should take measures to avoid any situation in which they may have a conflict of interest arising out of their relationship with another member, financial and other interests. Members who are unable to resolve or avoid a conflict of interest should disclose that conflict of interest to their supervisor, consider the advice of the supervisor and if necessary decline to act.
