The Assessment and Appraisal Policy documents instructions and information for both depositors and ADS archivists. This information includes checks made during ingest to ensure a high quality Submission Information Package (SIP).

Prior to 2022 elements of this policy could be found in the Appraisal and Deaccession Policy, which details a framework of policies and procedures put in place to retrospectively appraise datasets, deaccession data and support the sustainable management of ADS’ collections.
