I'm an RSE building such a tool right now for a clinical trial, and came in knowing this is the norm.
We're experimenting with building a data collection system that uses adversarial/multiplayer game mechanics incentivizes researchers to share (gain co-authorship) and excludes them from the benefits (e.g. co-authorship) if the minimum submitted data threshold isn't met.
Still early days, but we figured this is the only way to get people to share data, even within other people within the same project / lab. Similarly, I'm getting a lot of ideas from HN on event-driven data collection and immutable data storage to help make the data more tamper proof.
- Neurocynic 4y agoI would love to talk to you about this. I am currently doing something similar but accentuating the dataset by adding info on publications etc. thereby making them more "legit" (for the lack of a better word)
- jrochkind1 4y agoThis is really interesting! I'm interested in knowing more and sharing with colleagues in academic library/publishing tech, if you want to drop a link! (and are interested in sharing your work :) )
