I don't see much discussion on how these people are able to collaborate on projects with others? For a lot of research, you need partners to check each other's work, to bounce ideas off, to stop you from making stupid mistakes or help when you get stuck. This is why in academia people work within research groups.
Is is possible to create research groups while working as an independent researcher?
- gpestana 8y agoI think independent researchers - at least in the CS context - end up organically collaborating online through the content they share in github, blogposts, etc. Maybe there is some space for a more structured community of independent researchers which help each other and collaborate, but then again, isn't structure that indie researchers are trying to avoid?
- gpestana 8y ago(shameless plug) perhaps we can gather some ideas here? https://github.com/gpestana/brain-dump/issues/2 https://github.com/gpestana/brain-dump/issues/2 :)
