To provide an overview of the data gathered with the questionnaires about the reviewed digital resources, which all the reviewers have filled out, we have created charts summarizing the answers to all the questions in quantitative terms. The samples, of course, are still too small to allow for insights that are significant in statistical terms, but nonetheless they offer a more general overview than the individual factsheets that accompany each review in RIDE.

The data is extracted from the TEI files of the reviews, in which the results of the questionnaires are contained. To get insight into the underlying data, you can download TEI files of individual reviews, of whole RIDE issues, or of all the reviews together on GitHub.

So far, there are 63 reviews with 63 filled out questionnaires for Digital Scholarly Editions, which have been evaluated for the charts.
