Jason Schultz (UC Berkeley, Law) shared a series of tools he has been using for collaboration and to support qual. research. Links below:
David, Geoff,
Great to talk today. I will set up a bSpace project for us and issue logins, but I thought I’d also share my list of collaborative data sharing tools I’ve found. I would love to hear if your MMM group has any thoughts about them:
# Dedoose
# Figshare
<http://figshare.com>
* http://figshare.com/ <http://figshare.com>
# Microsoft Azure Data Market
* https://datamarket.azure.com/
# Fluxdata
* http://www.fluxdata.org/default.aspx
* Fluxdata is “a curated site for exchanging scientific data and
papers within a small scientific community. Although the sight is
open for anyone to read, data contributions are made by a small
scientific community, and collaboration is primarily through
scientific papers. Deb is the curator for the site. Datasets have
terms of use and are only available to approved users, and
publications must be approved. Publication is available through
the site. The publication process initiates an approval workflow.
The site has a blog. The blog is used to push information about
the site. I also saw a few blogs that were personal accounts of
events.”
# CommentSpace

* “Commentspace.net is a community collaboration environment. It’s
primary goal is to promote new insights, discovered and shared by
the community, about proposed subject areas. Subject areas are
described though interactive visualizations, including timelines,
graphs, scatter graphs, and more. The community is encouraged to
comment, refute, or even post additional evidence.”
