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.
DeSci Asia intends to use the funds to translate DeSci articles to local languages, host local community events, and develop the DeSci community in Asia, which supports the mission of innovating scientific research by making it more inclusive and accessible to a broader Asian audience.
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.
DeSci Asia is actively involved in educating through translation and publishing of DeSci articles, hosting events, and assembling a community that bridges DeSci initiatives in Asia, aligning with the educational and community-building aspects of the mission.
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 the project is addressing linguistic barriers and is fostering an inclusive community for scientific research, it is unclear if they directly address issues such as data reproducibility, misaligned incentives in publishing, or intellectual property reforms.
