NHSE Software Review Framework

---

The high level NHSE software review policy defines three review levels:

• The software has not yet been reviewed by the NHSE in any way. This classification is for unreviewed software available on an ``as is'' basis.

• The software has undergone a review to check conformance with the NHSE guidelines. Checking will be done by maintainers of discipline-oriented repositories who do some level of evaluation as part of their repository development efforts or by NHSE librarians.

• The software has been reviewed by an expert in the appropriate field such as the author of an article in the NHSE Review electronic journal which began publication in mid 1996. The NHSE Review presents articles written by experts that review and compare software for particular areas of HPCC. Where appropriate, reviews by others will be linked to and/or noted

Because of differences between disciplines, the evaluation criteria will need to evolve to meet different requirements.
