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.
Fileverse's IPFS search engine aims to address issues of accessibility and permanence in research data, aligning with innovation in research dissemination.
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.
Fileverse deploys IPFS & Arweave, part of the DeSci infrastructure, for collaboration and document storage, therefore supporting the research context.
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.
While Fileverse enables better data sharing practices, it's not clear how it addresses data reproducibility, peer review processes, or removing financial and other barriers to research.
