Metrics that Credit All Contributions

A new credit or reputation system is proposed – one that tracks and measures participation in all aspects of team-based research, including often-overlooked contributions of more junior investigators as well as open and collaborative behaviors.

Goals

  1. Define research roles and open collaborative activities on a real-time, funded research project.
  2. Design technology and processes for defined activities to be reliably measured and credited to all individuals on research consortia.
  3. Develop a reporting system for researcher credits and the work they represent.
  4. Survey the attitudes and behaviors of researchers regarding alternative reputation systems.
  5. Facilitate the translation of credits to incentives and rewards by funders and academic institutions.
