An Opportunity to Do Better, Together - UC Curation Center - Medium

"As research supporters, driven by scientific discovery, it is essential that we are guided by our alignment with researchers and are agile enough to respond to an ever-changing landscape. This means focusing on how best to support data-driven research, as opposed to applauding fancy features and marketing, while simultaneously guarding researchers from understanding the cost of publishing bad science, disincentivizing proper data practices like curation. As research evolves, we can respond accordingly by working together in open, sustainable ways, to advance the amount of re-usable data available for evidence based discovery. And if we work separately or try to seek competitive advantage, we misalign with good science, missing an opportunity to leverage our goals and values at a rare time where people are listening."
