The France Recherche en Santé Humaine (FReSH) catalogue lists health studies conducted in France and involving the collection of individual data.

In its first version, currently online, the FReSH catalogue is fed by contributions from data-producing research teams.

The contribution interface provides input aid: controlled vocabularies, tooltips. It is possible to save the draft of the fiche and resume it at another time. Navigation between sections of the form can be done either by using the Next button at the bottom of the page or by using the tabs at the top of the form.

Once the form has been completed, the entry is finalised by clicking on Finish .

The system then offers automatic translation of the sheet. This translation can then be reviewed and modified if necessary by the contributor.

The contributor receives a notification email confirming the submission of the sheet. If the contributor indicates the contact details of the scientific officer, the latter shall also receive notification of the submission. The scientific manager obtains the rights to modify the fiche in the same way as the contributor, after the creation of the account on the portal with the email address indicated in the fiche.

Contributors can view all their contributions in My Space.

When the form is completed, its status changes to “Sent for publication”. From that moment on, it is visible to the scientific manager (if different from the contributor) and to the catalogue administrator. After the technical verification, the administrator shall publish the fiche in the catalogue. If he finds anomalies, he can return the sheet to the contributor and ask for changes. The sheet published or sent for publication may be modified by the contributor or by the scientific manager. Access to the change is available from My Space. The modification of a published fiche leads to the creation of a new version that will follow the same submission and validation path, before being published.
