Since grade school, students of many subjects have learned to "show their work" in order to receive full credit for assignments. Many of the reasons for students to show their work extend to the conduct of scientific research. And yet multiple barriers make it challenging to share and show the products of scientific work beyond published findings. This chapter discusses some of these barriers and how web-based data repositories help overcome them. The focus is on Databrary.org, a data library specialized for storing and sharing video data with a restricted community of institutionally approved investigators. Databrary was designed by and for developmental researchers, and so its features and policies reflect many of the specific challenges faced by this community, especially those associated with sharing video and related identifiable data. The chapter argues that developmental science poses some of the most interesting, challenging, and important questions in all of science, and that by openly sharing much more of the products and processes of our work, developmental scientists can accelerate discovery while making our scholarship much more robust and reproducible.
从小学起,许多学科的学生就学会了“展示作业过程”,以便在作业中获得满分。学生展示作业过程的许多原因同样适用于科学研究。然而,存在多种障碍使得在已发表的研究结果之外分享和展示科学工作成果具有挑战性。本章讨论其中一些障碍,以及基于网络的数据存储库如何帮助克服这些障碍。重点是Databrary.org,这是一个专门用于与经机构批准的研究人员组成的受限社区存储和共享视频数据的数据库。Databrary由发展研究人员设计并为其所用,因此其功能和政策反映了该社区面临的许多具体挑战,尤其是那些与分享视频和相关可识别数据相关的挑战。本章认为,发展科学提出了所有科学中一些最有趣、最具挑战性和最重要的问题,并且通过更开放地分享我们工作的更多成果和过程,发展科学家可以加速发现,同时使我们的学术研究更加稳健和可重复。
