Description

We are developing an Open Access (OA) interactive platform called Colper Science with two major goals:
1- to advance the scientific publishing system towards a more open and efficient system.
2- to facilitate the connection between the general public and scientific publications and the research community.
We would like to share two sprints related to the project:
1- Crowdfunding: Spreading the word & help with the video
2- Discover different ways of content extraction from OA publications

Hi @KambizChizari ... Global Sprint is only 3 weeks away and I wanted to check in on your preparation progress. Looks like you just need to put some work into your CONTRIBUTING.md, add some issues, link to our Participation Guidelines and get me an image to be featured on Pulse: https://www.mozillapulse.org/latest

At a minimum I'd recommend working on your CONTRIBUTING and adding some issues so folks know how to help you on your project during the sprint.

Hi @stephwright ... Since we are postponing the crowdfunding and also an we will us an API for the content extraction, we should redefine which parts of the project can be done in a collaborative way. We discussed it with our mentor, Bastian, and decided to discuss regarding the future plans with Abby @acabunoc in our next meeting (18 May). We are planning to build a community related to open access publications before our crowdfunding and for that we are going to interview people who are active in the field or who conduct research using open data and share it as videos on YouTube and as audio podcast. So after our discussion on 18 May things will be clearer and the GitHub will be updated then.

Perfect! Sounds like you have a plan in place for going forward. Thanks for the update!
