Projects should directly support the mission of DeSci to innovate scientific research by exploring novel mechanisms of funding, conducting, and disseminating scientific research in an open, inclusive, and accessible manner.
Climecheck appears to align with the DeSci mission through its real-time Big Data Platform for climate monitoring, which democratizes climate data and makes it accessible for various stakeholders in an open and inclusive manner.
DeSci projects most commonly support this mission by building and testing necessary technological infrastructure, but projects may also be eligible if they are deploying existing DeSci infrastructure in a scientific research context or if they are educating and recruiting members of the scientific community to contribute to the mission.
The project is developing hardware sensors and software systems that aggregate environmental data, in alignment with the infrastructure development aspect of DeSci projects. Additionally, it is recruiting community contribution, which suggests education and expansion efforts within the scientific community.
Concrete examples of issues covered by the DeSci mission include: the data reproducibility crisis and archaic data sharing practices; misaligned incentives and poor practices in scientific publishing and peer review; financial, linguistic, and academic barriers to globally inclusive research; intellectual property, patents, and financial incentives to trade progress for profits; academic disconnect and poor science/health literacy and trust in the lay public and government representatives.
Climecheck's project tackles issues related to data sharing practices by providing a platform for open access to environmental data, which can also be seen as an effort to address the global inclusivity aspect of research by involving the public and regulators.
