Talk:Social Systems

Open Notes

Martin

Reward contributions and how they affect behavior
Collect few opinions on how the rewarding can be done, other examples and what worked or didn't work

Angelina:

Questions about adoption
Regulations (for example, in USA there's data open or they don't receive money anymore), in EU there's a proposal to evaluate researchers using diff metrics, such as openness

Sílvia

old incentives, what are the ones in place besides reputation?
What should we keep in mind when creating

Angelina

replacing the old system would be detrimental to the adoption
transfer their merits to the new system
progressive adoption of new metrics in behavior that accommodates certain

Rafie

metrics are used to "judge" researchers to allocate grants
democratically incentives, but existing structures are not democratically enough

Most of the incentives are monetary (there are social)
researchers are not in a position to decide; they're put in the system
funders can probably change the infrastructure and regulations

Q: stakeholders?

Researchers
grant funders
publishing agencies
Other: industry, taxpayers

Q - change coming from which stakeholders?

Biggest US and European
smaller foundations, not supper novel ideas, a lot of outliers in Web3
researcher will move to web3 in 10 to 20
Stepwise approach, led by biggest funder

alternative view*: demonstrate the reality of sth, Web3 and Desci - opportunity to demonstrate structures and mechanisms working in a small scale, and showcasing to onboard larger organizations
start small and demonstrate value

Push for the adoption of new systems:

works but not optimal: some systems work great on a small scale, but scale to promote less nice behaviour
Readiness of academia?
otoh, early adopters don't need to be big

Nouran:

HCI community: the driving force is actually the academics
Tool building perspective: challenges?
Reputation & interactions in online space: how can we build better tools to help users navigate these spaces without being afraid of their reputation

Martin Q - if we create spaces to allow researchers to come together away from their high reputation game, how do they tap into research initiatives and new funders and funding mechanisms?

Open Questions - validate assumptions for the system that should work on a bigger scale?

how do we determine the systems that will work on a big scale without testing them on a large scale?
Valerii shares his company approach: small-scale test, update the pre-existing model + ar

Open Questions? spec out different funding/incentive models for sustaining the work of synthesis developing incentive mechanisms for contributions to understanding the status of the knowledge frontier incentive mechanisms for contributing and maintaining living lit reviews in both domains
