suggest extension to material sharing policies

Open zebraelement opened this issue 5 years ago • 2 comments

Hello from OpenCon! I met up with @npscience during the OpenCon do-a-thon and I would like to potentially add material sharing policies to the TRANSPOSE-publishing database.

To give you more context, I've started working on a project to engage in conversations with journals and publishers to discuss the possibility of updating their material sharing policies to recommend specific reagent repositories, much like how Data sharing journal policies are recommending specific data and code repositories. The goal is that by recommending authors to make their research materials available through different non-profit repositories, journals can help to ensure timely distribution of materials and improve scientific reproducibility.

My colleagues and I at Addgene have started collecting material sharing policies for several journals (so far we've documented ~75 policies). Would it be possible to add material sharing policies to the TRANSPOSE-publishing database? I realize that it may not be compatible with the new googleforms format of contributing, but would like to explore this possibility. Thanks so much!
