== Abstract ==
This document sets out proposals and procedures for carrying out the MASSIVE
Peer Reviews and provides instruments and Guidelines for data gathering and
analysis. It draws together and further develops strands of work that have previously
been carried out within the context of the MASSIVE Peer Review process, notably
the ‘Methodology Report’, the ‘Peer Review Schema’ and the ‘Peer Review Visit
Questions’ developed by partners.
A key purpose of this document is to integrate this accompanying work and to
address some of the ‘gaps’ hitherto not covered. Against this background, one of the
main objectives of developing this ‘handbook’ is to ensure adequate ‘triangulation’ of
different stakeholder perspectives within each of the participating review sites, and to
prevent a single ‘voice’ dominating the results of the Review.
In order to achieve this, the Handbook provides for the utilisation of three different,
though complementary data gathering methods: archive and documentation analysis;
interviews and observation. It also proposes a three-stage process for the Peer
Review, comprised of an initial ‘set-up’ phase; a subsequent phase of data gathering
focused on the site visit, and a final ‘analysis and synthesis’ stage involving the
production of recommendations arrived at through collaborative reflection between
the MASSIVE team and the hosting institution.
