Define Personas and User Stories - why do _you_ want to find journals that support open source #60
Description
When code is written for research and science purposes, it should be open source so that others can benefit from it. We’d like to help researchers find journals that require open source code easily. We would like to begin prototyping a real-life website that allows people to search for journals that have (or don’t have) open source code sharing policies.
If you care about open source code in science, please comment on this issue and share the following things:
- Why you care about open source in science
- What you would be looking for if you wanted to find a journal that supported open source code. Would you want to filter by country, research domain, APC cost, other? What factors would influence your choice?
- preview our prototype from a previous Mozilla sprint - does it tell you everything you need? What is missing or could be improved on?
For more info about this project and the sprint, or to get help, please see the Code Is Science eLife Sprint Plan
