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.
While the project provides a platform that could potentially be leveraged for DeSci objectives like funding and content creation, there is insufficient information on how it specifically supports the unique needs of scientific research such as novel mechanisms for research data transparency, open access, or collaboration.
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 seems primarily focused on social media aggregation and community engagement rather than on the technological infrastructure specific to the needs of DeSci such as tools for research collaboration, peer review, or open data repositories. There's no clear evidence of direct support for 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.
The description of the project does not mention any concrete efforts or features designed to address the specific examples of DeSci issues listed. It focuses on broad social media integration and does not explicitly target the data reproducibility crisis, publication practices, or other barriers outlined by the DeSci mission.
