Historians and the Tri-council policy statement on research involving humans
Bibliographic record
Abstract
At the 2003 Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences, the Interagency Advisory Panel on Research Ethics (PRE), the Canadian Federation for the Social Sciences and Humanities, and the PRE Social Sciences and Humanities Research Ethics Special Working Committee piloted a consultation with researchers from the humanities and social sciences. The consultation was in response to criticisms of the Tri-Council Policy Statement on Research Involving Humans (TCPS). Since its inception in 1994, researchers in the socials sciences and humanities have argued that the TCPS recommends procedures that are more suited to quantitative studies than to qualitative research.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; the direct Gemma label and the distilled Codex classifier agree on what is shown here.
