#A Framework for Analyzing the Sustainability of Peer Produced Science Commons

####Abstract

The sustainability of eScience research infrastructures is an increasingly complex problem addressed by science and technology policy. Through a case study of the International Comprehensive Ocean and Atmosphere Dataset (ICOADS) I describe a common property regime for sharing and pooling resources across traditional organizational boundaries, and the collective action needed to sustain this arrangement in the face of political, social, and economic change. I use this work to support the testing and refinement of an analytical framework. The contribution of this work will be a better understanding of how institutions for collective action evolve, and a framework for reducing the complexity of studying eScience commons

A copy of the dissertation proposal is available in pdf or html.

This repository contains the software, data, images, and documents I used to generate this proposal- and the slides I'll use for the oral defense.

Files contain the following content:

  • Study 1 Contains data and scripts from producing the Data Usage Index described in Chapter 1.
  • Study 2 Contains data, code and images for producing the Phylogenetic trees in the Genealogy study described in Chapter 1. (Importnat note: this is a co-authored study, and was possible ony with the insight of my collaborator Andrea Thomer (@an_dre_a_)
  • ProposalDocument contains the LaTex template and the images used to produce the actual proposal
  • Study Protocol has drafts of the protocol I developed to conduct the case study (Final draft to be uploaded very soon)
  • SupportingBibliometricsData contains network data, text files from ISI, and some preliminary images. This work is referred to in a few different places in the proposal, but not described at length.

*If you spot an error (and there will be many) please consider filing an issue to let me know.
