#### AIMOS2020 HACKATHON LANDING PAGE
## Developing collective action campaigns to change norms and drive progress in academia

**Session leader**: Cooper Smout

**Contact information**: [e-mail]

**Day/time**: Thurs 1pm AEDT

**Abstract**: Academic reform is hindered by a collective action problem. Many open science practices offer benefits to the entire research community (and beyond), but their adoption is limited by incentive structures that reward closed science and ‘prestigious’ publications at the individual level. Historically, collective action -- the simultaneous adoption of new behaviours by a subset of the community in question -- has proven to be an effective strategy for aligning personal and group incentives across a wide range of contexts (e.g., factory workers going on strike; consumers contributing funds to a Kickstarter product), but remains to be implemented in a meaningful way by the research community. **Project Free Our Knowledge** (FOK) aims to address this gap by organising collective action in academia. Using our website, researchers can make anonymous pledges to support open science behaviours if and when a critical mass of support for that behaviour is met in the community. Then -- after the pre-determined number of pledges is reached -- the new community will be publicised on the website and directed to carry out the action in unison, thus protecting each other’s interests as they drive progress together. In this hackathon, we’ll develop new campaigns for the [FOK platform](https://freeourknowledge.org). Please bring any ideas you have for campaigns, or just come along and help others develop theirs. Much of the work will involve determining parameters of the campaigns, so no coding skills are required -- just bring a healthy desire for progress.

## Agenda
#### 1. Introduction exercise
*Who are you? What field are you in? What is one behaviour that you’d like to see your research field adopt? (please introduce yourself via Zoom and then enter below)*
* Cooper Smout. Cognitive neuroscience. Publishing in fee-free open access journals (e.g., [Neurons, Behaviour, Data Analysis and Theory](https://nbdt.scholasticahq.com/)).
* Omid Ghasemi. Cognitive Science. Making the data and codes publicly available & preregistration.
* Shinichi Nakagawa. Evolutionary Biology. Pre-registration (and also registered reports)
* Ans Vercammen. ???. Registered Reports
* Arianne Herrera-Bennett. Quantitative methods. Better measurement practices; fewer questionable research practices; a fan of Registered Reports and replication studies.
* Lisa Spitzer. Meta-Research (Assessing and Increasing the Reproducibility of Psychological Research Findings). Preregistration and Registered Reports.
* Liz Stokes. research data skills specialist for the Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) I like to champion the Carpentries pedagogy and workshops. I'd like to see the research support community upskill in similar computational approaches and reproducible tools that have benefited the open science movement.
* Patrice Pottier. Evolutionary Ecology & Evidence synthesis. Data/code sharing; pre-registration/registered reports
* Rose O'Dea. Wants a reproducibility project for behavioural ecology. Long-term: fewer publications (but of higher quality on Bigger Questions), through collaborative research programs. (Also, registered reports of course)
* Samantha Burke. Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. Registered Reports, Open Data
* Szymon Drobniak. Evolutionary Biology & Meta-analysis + Graphic design. Large datasets sharing, computational reproducibility & better research reports' readability.
* Carmelina Contarino. Open Data, also culture of Science, how we got here and where to next.
* Jay Patel. Educational Psychology + Cognitive Science of Learning, (1) scale up the use of reporting guidelines like PRISMA, CONSORT, ARRIVE, RAMS-I or even develop new reporting guidelines for neglected disciplines, (2) rubric for peer review (probably discipline-specific or subdivided into types of research like empirical vs. theoretic)
* Jason Chin. Legal research.
* Amanda Lawrence. Research publishing. Non-traditional research outputs.
* Cat. Evolutionary Biology.

#### 3. Form breakout rooms to discuss campaign ideas
*We will identify a few campaigns to work on further in breakout rooms. Place a number in front of your Zoom name to indicate which campaign you'd like to discuss and we'll move you to that room*

*Things to consider when designing your campaign (see the [campaign proposal template](https://github.com/FreeOurKnowledge/website/issues/new?assignees=CooperSmout&labels=draft-campaign&template=campaign-proposal.md&title=Campaign%3A+%3CInsert+descriptive+title+here%3E) for more details):*

*Feel free to use this space to take notes as your group discusses the campaign/s*

#### 4. Post your campaign idea/s to Github using the [campaign proposal template](https://github.com/FreeOurKnowledge/website/issues/new?assignees=CooperSmout&labels=draft-campaign&template=campaign-proposal.md&title=Campaign%3A+%3CInsert+descriptive+title+here%3E), or add comments to an existing campaign
*Add comments under your post to get the conversation started*

## Stretch goals
#### 1. What are some frequently asked questions?
*(feel free to enter directly into our [FAQ document](https://hackmd.io/@TQgKoSxnS1WWNgHDQ-8mwA/H1V0v5SiD/edit) that will go on the website)*
* ...

#### 2. Thinking outside the box
*What are some other use cases for a collective action platform?*
* e.g., Recruiting researchers as participants for an experiment (experiment goes ahead when X people pledge to participate)?
* e.g., Checking if there is sufficient interest to run a workshop/conference prior to organising it?
* ...
