My work applies insights from public management, social capital, network theory, and institutionalism to understand how technology is changing networks of collaboration and exchange and practices and organizational forms in science. |
Linking institutional logics and data sharing to research outputs before and after SARS-CoV-2 peak infection
RAPID NSF Grant, PI: Erich Welch (ASU) & Federica Fusi (UIC)
The ability of scientists to access and share data relevant for COVID-19 research (e.g., genomics data, sequences and strains, surveillance data, protein structures) is critical for understanding the virus and ultimately developing therapeutics and vaccines. Access to and sharing of data will have a significant effect on the amount of knowledge produced and the speed of discovery, both of which impact public health in the US. Early reports attest to record-breaking scientific collaboration and data sharing, but in the long run data access and sharing will greatly depend on the confluence of scientists' values, beliefs and practices, as well as the governance and management of the repositories curating the data. This research investigates how scientist' data access and sharing preferences and behaviors change over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, as research moves from early crisis response to concrete opportunities for visibility, reputation, and innovation.
