[open-science] [DIYbio] Need some help in collecting data

[Jenny Molloy]

The original message didn't come through to the open-science list so is
pasted below:

All,

I'm working with a team in developing a new product that will allow the
independent scientist community to publish their projects and data. I need
you to fill out a survey so we can better understand how to create this
product and direct it to the independent scientist community. The lead
researcher behind this survey is a cancer researcher in an academic setting
who has experienced pains in dealing with the traditional scientific
publication model. In response to this broken model, there are passionate,
growing communities of independent scientists that are changing how science
is done. The problem they face is the lack of a way to facilitate their
collaboration, share data, build on each other’s work, and build their
reputation among their community. To that end, please take 2 minutes to
take the following survey to understand your approach to collaborating and
communicating information about your projects.

Thanks!
Bijal Patel
