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 'Open Source Sensemaking for DeSci' aims to create tools for AI-augmented sensemaking, enhancing access to diverse sources of scholarly data which aligns with innovating scientific research dissemination in an open and accessible 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 focuses on building an interoperable and decentralized annotation network for researchers, which is a technological infrastructure `for enabling better capture, sharing, and integration of scholarly sensemaking data, hence contributing to the DeSci infrastructure.
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 project addresses the issue of 'knowledge fragmentation' and 'information overload' which is directly related to archaic data sharing practices and misaligned incentives in scientific publishing and peer review processes.
Projects must satisfy the Gitcoin Program General Eligibility Policy in addition to the requirements described above.
Based on the available data, we cannot determine whether the 'Open Source Sensemaking for DeSci' project meets all general eligibility policies of the Gitcoin Program as these policies are not specified in the provided information.
