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.
The project 'Active Blockference' seeks to deploy an open source package for cognitive modeling in DeSci ecosystems, addressing novel mechanisms of disseminating scientific research and providing an infrastructure for open and accessible science.
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 building technological infrastructure by developing a framework for cognitive systems engineering in blockchain and cyberphysical ecosystems, and also connects with the scientific community through education and research dissemination.
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.
Active Blockference tackles the data reproducibility crisis and aims to improve practices in scientific publishing by fostering a framework for modeling the behavior and cognition in DeSci, which could indirectly impact peer review practices and enhance inclusivity and accessibility in research.
