Need some help in collecting data

[Bijal Patel]

All,

I'm working with a team in developing a new product that will allow the independent scientist community to publish their projects and data. I need you to fill out a survey so we can better understand how to create this product and direct it to the independent scientist community. The lead researcher behind this survey is a cancer researcher in an academic setting who has experienced pains in dealing with the traditional scientific publication model. In response to this broken model, there are passionate, growing communities of independent scientists that are changing how science is done. The problem they face is the lack of a way to facilitate their collaboration, share data, build on each other’s work, and build their reputation among their community. To that end, please take 2 minutes to take the following survey to understand your approach to collaborating and communicating information about your projects.

Thanks!

Bijal Patel

Your survey is broken to me.  I cant select only the other option alone, I have to choose one of your bullet points in order for the form to submit.

Really? That seems to be the assumption that everyone throws around. But so far I have heard more complaints about "lack of reagents" than "gee, I wish version control would be invented and there were more poorly written journal CMSes". I am sure there's a study proving your point, I just haven't read it yet..

What's "CMS"? What do you mean by "lack of reagents"?

Do they really want to reinvent the wheel(again)? 
Or would they rather spend their time doing science? 

There are already a number of cool project out there:
https://peerj.com/ an online journal that only costs a little bit for the author (once) $99 then publish each year for free, and free to access
http://figshare.com any figure can get a doi number , which is great. cos then it can be referenced by other papers/authors.

Oops, sorry about that. I meant "lack of cheap reagents". Not "lack of
reagents". As for CMS, I mean all the very popular software like OJS
that everyone has been using to solve the problems that Bijal posted
about (sharing/posting papers, for example). "CMS" is a common acronym
to describe lots of different web-based software. OJS is one
particular project that happens to implement a CMS for
journals/articles/papers. To be honest, it's really boring to
describe.
