This volume uses Annotation for Transparent Inquiry (ATI), an initiative of the Qualitative Data Repository at the Maxwell School at Syracuse University and Hypothesis (a software nonprofit), which Cambridge University Press has integrated into Cambridge Core. ATI is a new approach to achieving transparency in qualitative and multi-method research that employs “open annotation,” allowing for the generation, sharing and discovery of digital annotations across the web. Scholars who use ATI annotate specific passages in a digitally published work, amplifying the text, facilitating transparency, comprehension and evaluation. Annotations include “analytic notes” that add detail about the work’s evidentiary basis or analytic strategy, excerpts from data sources that underlie claims and potentially links to the data sources themselves. Here, we used ATI to reference and link to numerous legal documents, including peace agreements, draft constitutional proposals, constituent assembly rules and court cases.
