+## Project Scope
+
+This repository is for storing and maintaining the Research Quality Indicators of the [Research Software Quality Kit](https://github.com/EVERSE-ResearchSoftware/RSQKit)
+
+
+## Indicators
+
+All indicators added or to be added must be defined somewhere else. Also, they must follow the [validation schema](https://github.com/EVERSE-ResearchSoftware/indicators/blob/main/tests/indicator_validation_schema.json)
+
+Only then, a reviewer will review it and decide whether or not it is properly defined
+
+Contribution guidelines are defined in [CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/EVERSE-ResearchSoftware/indicators/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md)
