CoreTrustSeal Trustworthy Data Repositories reviews are undertaken by qualified members of the Assembly of Reviewers consisting of:

  • Qualified volunteer Reviewers designated by CoreTrustSeal certified Repositories
  • CoreTrustSeal Board
  • WDS Scientific Committee members part of a CoreTrustSeal certified data repository

The Assembly of Reviewers is an essential component of the CoreTrustSeal, it helps both the CoreTrustSeal Board to determine the trustworthiness of applicant repositories, and the applicants themselves to improve their performance through the highlighting of best practices. Many reviewers find that conducting reviews is highly valuable to their own organizations, since they learn and understand more about their own processes through examination of those used by peers.

Introductory resources and training for reviewers can be found under Training.

Members of the Assembly of Reviewers can stand for election to become members of the CoreTrustSeal Board and vote in elections (one vote for each CoreTrustSeal certified Repository, see Article 2 of the Rules of Procedures) .
