Research & Curation Queue SOP

Task Workflow

Once the Research & Curation task is marked complete, the Content Review subtask will be active. The staff member assigned to the Content Review task will review the research document and provide that document to the ID.

  1.  Click on the Working Doc URL in the task fields.
  2.  Download a copy to your own computer.
  3.  Save the new Word document named with course name with version (same as Folder name), Research & Curation, and FINAL. For example: CJS200v2 Research & Curation FINAL.
  4.  Review the research document.
    • Check publication years of sources to ensure recent research (unless otherwise specified or unavoidable).
    • Confirm that the complete citation is provided, the URL link is separated out (not embedded), and the abstract is provided if available.
    • Check to ensure the URLs are formatted correctly and permalink widgets utilized where needed.
    • Ensure the URL link is working and going to the full text of the correct article.
    • Ensure the articles are relevant to the topics, discussion questions, and/or assignments for each week.
    • Ensure the sources are organized by type (i.e. articles, videos, journals, searches, etc.).
    • Check for duplicate sources, if possible.
    • Leave a comment communicating any review notes to the researcher as applicable. Some examples include:
      • Good job! It turns out X is a dissertation, though, so I replaced that with Y.
      • These articles are timely and very relevant to their topics.
    • PDF examples of a research document can be viewed here (general example) and here (external/library notes example).
  5.  Share this Word document with the ID by uploading the document within a new parent task comment.
    • Attach the Word document to the comment.
    • Inform the ID of any specific details that they should be aware of regarding the research.
    • Ask the ID to let you know if any further research is needed once they have a chance to review the research document.
    • Example communication: 
      • Hi, @id. Attached is the research that Kristina put together. Please let us know if these will work or if further research is needed once you've had a chance to review.
  6.  Set the Library Status field to ID/Requestor Review.
  7.  Enter Time Spent.
  8.  Mark the Content Review subtask as complete.

Once the task is set to ID/Requestor Review, the staff member managing the research queue will take over from here, communicating with the ID and assigning further tasks if needed.
