The 60-Minute Protocol Reuse Challenge
Speaker(s):
Bio: Marcel is a qualitative researcher and scholarly communication professional, whose current work engages with research communities to develop solutions that increase adoption of open research practices.
Abstract:
Step-by-step protocols allow researchers to share detailed methods information in a format that can be readily reused and adapted to other contexts. This workshop explores the affordances and limitations of step-by-step protocols for the social sciences, through a hands-on introduction to the methods sharing platform protocols.io. At the heart of the workshop is a fun, fast-paced challenge inviting participants to select a sample protocol and then “fork” it for their own use, generating a copy that they can modify, mark up, and build on. After one hour, participants will share out their forked protocols and from there reflect as a group on the potential they see for protocol sharing and reuse. Participants will be asked to create a protocols.io account before the workshop so that as much setup as possible can be done in advance.
