If you are attending the AIB-SE Conference (Nov 10-14, on a cruise ship, http://www.aibse.org/2016-annual-conference/), I am looking for panelists for a session on
RESEARCH CROWDSOURCING AND OPEN DATA SHARING AND COLLABORATION
I am particularly interested in people who have experience with:
- Research crowdsourcing
- Open data sharing
- Open forum/discussion-board based research collaboration with strangers (rather than close colleagues via email and personal meetings)
- Knowledge dissemination via open-source journals, blogs, and social media
- Platform-based research (MTurk and the like)
- Research with large co-author teams, especially co-author teams where many co-authors have never met in person and where team boundaries are vague (when it's not entirely clear who is and who is not on the team)
- Ethics and Editorial policies on making data publicly available, co-authorship and data ownership in research crowdsourcing projects
- Other issues around the emerging practice of sharing data freely (rather than not sharing), working in huge teams (rather than alone or with a few trusted colleagues), publishing findings quickly via open platforms rather than selective peer-reviewed journals, using crowds to complete research tasks (rather than doing everything alone or in a small team), etc.
If you are attending the AIB-SE conference and would like to be a panelist in this session, please send me a short summary of the key points you'd like to share (topic and 150-word abstract) by June 4.
Sincerely,
Vas Taras
