These are some of the files identified, that will require changes. Also, our observations include that most of the code has been written in the controller which is not an ideal design. We will try and push some of the code into models to better align with the design principles. | These are some of the files identified, that will require changes.

This page provides a description of the Expertiza based OSS project.
About Expertiza
Expertiza is an open source project based on Ruby on Rails framework. Expertiza allows the instructor to create new assignments and customize new or existing assignments. It also allows the instructor to create a list of topics the students can sign up for. Students can form teams in Expertiza to work on various projects and assignments. Students can also peer review other students' submissions. Expertiza supports submission across various document types, including the URLs and wiki pages.
Problem Statement
Peer-assessment systems have always been separate from peer-review systems used by journals and conferences. But the two systems have a lot in common: submitting and reviewing, and guidance given to reviewers in the form of a rubric. The main differences are how accounts are created and how reviewers are assigned. In a peer-assessment system, the instructor typically creates accounts for the whole class. Reviewers are assigned either by the instructor, or automatically by the system. In conference and journal review, anyone can submit a paper. When they do, an account is implicitly created for them. They may invite their co-authors to join them; this is kind of like inviting teammates in Expertiza, except that the co-authors don’t necessarily have pre-existing accounts either, and there is typically no maximum on the number of authors for a paper.

Design Plan
Use Case
- Author sign up: This use case assumes that the author isn't part of our expertiza database yet and wants to add a paper for review. Assuming that the author already has the link to sign up for expertiza. The author would then have to click the link and will have to go through a captcha to verify the user identity. Then he/she will be asked to put some details to create account with role as student. After account creation, Author will receive email with login ID and password.
- Author adding paper to expertiza for review: Now that the author has an account he can login to his expertiza account and then click the assignment. Then the author will have to upload his paper by clicking submit your work, then adding the details of the paper like track of the paper etc. [planning to have a dropdown list for this].
- Author sending an invitation to collaborators: If required the author can adding collaborators/contributors by selecting the paper he/she uploaded and slecting add contributors. Then he/she has to fill in the co-authors details like email id etc
- Collaborator sign up: Assuming that the collaborator doesnt have an existing account. They would have received a mail when they were added as collaborator, they can login using the given username and password in that mail. Then after log in he/she can click your team and accept the pending author invite.
- Review: This part will be almost similar to existing peer reviews.
