Your last paragraph is important. Open-access data is a critical piece to good research. Too often its used to gatekeep (As you mention).
Good luck with getting a group of scientist to agree on "high-quality" data collection methods--lol. Not to say we shouldn't standardize things more than they are. To your point about research being presented at conferences--true. But very few people are actually present at these conferences. I actually keep up with lab webpages to stay informed--usually people are good about updating these, but sometimes people dont even have one :/
- s0rce 9y agoLabs are good at updating webpages, hah, that wasn't my experience at all and is usually a common to see exceedingly out of date webpages. Other than some high profile groups that probably have money to hire specific webpage staff everyone else has to do it themselves and they often don't keep up.
- kickout 9y agoI suppose my memory is biased (because if i visit a webpage and see it hasn't been updated since the millenium, i wont visit again) in that i only re-visit updated lab webpages. That said, the new wave of academics (< 35) seem to be friendly to updates, IMO
