There are 3 types of data entry ‘‘evaluators’’; selected from
within the PlantLIBRA project covering composition, beneficial
effects and adverse effects data. All evaluators are fully trained in
the use of the forms, and regular evaluator assessments are conducted
to check performance and ensure uniformity between
evaluators.
Completed input forms are submitted to a ePlantLIBRA database
manager for auditing, checking for any inconsistencies and ensuring
that text boxes provide clear and sufficient information, including
explanations of any abbreviations. If necessary, the input form
is returned to the evaluator for revision before the data is accepted
into the database.
