4. NUSAP

NUSAP is a notational system proposed by Funtowicz and Ravetz (1990), which aims to provide an analysis and diagnosis of uncertainty in science for policy. It captures both quantitative and qualitative dimensions of uncertainty and enables one to display these in a standardized and self-explanatory way. It promotes criticism by clients and users of all sorts, expert and lay and will thereby support extended peer review processes.
