TRIPLE Deliverable: 3.6 Report on User Evaluation (Interim)

The GoTriple platform will help social sciences and humanities (SSH) research in Europe to gain
visibility. It enables researchers to discover and reuse SSH data across disciplinary and language
boundaries, and also find other researchers and projects. It provides all the necessary means to
build interdisciplinary projects and develop large-scale scientific missions. It will thus increase the
economic and societal impacts of SSH resources.
GoTriple will be a dedicated service of the OPERAS research infrastructure and will become a
strong service in the EOSC marketplace. The European Commission is financing the TRIPLE project
under the Horizon 2020 framework with approx. 5.6 million Euros for a duration of 42 months.
This first iteration of Deliverable 3.6 details some key aspects of the methodology for the GoTriple
platform evaluation. The methods selected will be used to ensure that the GoTriple platform
meets the end-user needs, in terms of usability and overall user satisfaction. This first iteration
of D3.6 also reports the preliminary results of the user testing activities carried out on the Beta
platform (released in late October 2021) and discusses the future plans for continued testing and
evaluation. The document shares details of both the qualitative methods that have already begun
and the quantitative evaluation tools that will be utilised in order to ensure a thorough user
evaluation process and ultimately user satisfaction with the platform. A final version of D3.6 is
planned for M39 (December 2022).
