Anubis is a system to handle calls, proposal submission and reviews.
It is based on the following entities:
Call
A call is a call for proposals. In the Anubis
system, it is a container for proposals, reviews, decisions and grants.
The input fields of all other entities are created and defined within
the call by the call owner.
Proposal
A proposal can be created and written by
anyone who has an account in the Anubis system. A proposal always belongs
to one and only one specific call.
The proposal must be submitted by the user before the closes date of the call.
The input fields for proposals within a call should, of course, be
defined before the call is opened. However, it is possible to modify
an input field even when the call has been opened, but this feature
should be used as little as possible.
Review
The reviews of proposal within a call is set
up by the administrator. This entails defining what information the
reviewers must provide, including scores or rank. The administrator must then
create the actual review forms for each reviewer and proposal.
The reviews are visible only the administrator, the owner of the call,
and optionally by the other reviewers in the call.
Decision
The purpose of the decision entity is to
document what the result of the review of a proposal is. Creating a
decision does not send any email to the proposal author. This has to
be done outside of the system.
Grant dossier
A grant dossier is a means for the
researcher and staff to share information, such as documents, about a
successful proposal.
Input field types
Most of the above entities are configured for each call to provide a
set of input fields, to be filled in by the user, reviewer or
staff. There are a number of input field types
that may be used.
Account
An account is the representation of a user
in the Anubis system. A user must have an account to be able to write
a proposal. An account may have different roles, which gives different
sets of privileges.
Privileges
Different user roles have different sets of privileges,
which determine what they are allowed to do within the Anubis system.
