oHC2: So just how much work is involved in doing this project? Using the Heliocentric Model of Open Science Documentation to understand labor in scientific processes.
Monica Gonzalez-Marquez, Ines Schmahl
Researchers are commonly advised to expect a project to take longer than originally planned. By the same token, it is frequently impossible to reproduce a study without communicating with the original authors. We argue that both problems originate with a lack of understanding of the labor involved in completing a project. By labor we mean everything that needs to be done to address a research question. However, this is a theoretical postulation. In this hackathon we will attempt to map out all of the labor involved in completing a research project. We will use the Heliocentric Model of Open Science Documentation to identify the components of the project, and to structure the labor required to complete them. We will also use narrative structure and problem solving schemas to describe the labor/outputs for comprehension by 3rd parties. Future directions will be determined by the group at the hackathon.
