5 years ago @eplebel A few questions on the home page stuff
- Could you add the links for the buttons? I'm not sure where some of them should go
- For the small screen view, I think the position of the images in the "How It Works" sections ("For Authors" etc.) is a bit confusing. They're kind of floating between sections (after the button and before the next title). I'd move the images between the title and the explanation text. What do you think?

Note: All new assets can be found under
curate_science\sitestatic\infographics(2 new icons undercurate_science\sitestatic\icons)LANDING & HIW section details (for non-logged in users; see below for details re: logged-in users)
As per this mockup (text included below mockup):
NOTE: All carousels are Material Design responsive, touch-enabled, and swipable carousels and each image is enlargeable on click via FancyBox media viewer (like this MDbootstrap library). ALL infographics across landing, HIW, and About sections are arrayed within the same (FancyBox) set (via "data-fancybox=setNameString"), so that users can just cycle through all infographics (this will result in some duplication, but that's still better UX overall). (just like my alpha prototype, etiennelebel.com, where all key figures are arrayed within the same set ("data-fancybox=images"), so user can cycle through all key figures across all articles!)
TEXT: Tagline: Transparent and credible scientific evidence.
Are you an author? Be a transparent and credible researcher and accelerate your science with confidence. Are you a replicator? Add your replication to our database to increase its visibility, discoverability, and impact. Are you an educator? Find open data sets and study materials for your courses in statistics, research methodology, or meta-science.
HOW IT WORKS FOR AUTHORS Communicate the transparency and credibility of your research according to recognized transparency standards on your own (externally embeddable) author page.
Organize your publications (full-text URLs, key figures, etc.) and share and disseminate your research.
Increase the discoverability, accessibility, and impact of your research, giving yourself a competitive edge in hiring/grant contexts.
Feel confident inviting the world to both use and scrutinize your work.
FOR REPLICATORS Link your replication to the original study to increase its visibility, discoverability, and impact, accelerating scientific self-correction.
Curate replication metadata on its own article page and easily share it.
Create collections of replications across different methods of testing an effect, and meta-analyze and track replication evidence (coming soon).
FOR EDUCATORS Find open data sets and analysis code on specific topics for your courses in statistics, research methodology, or meta-science.
Discover open study materials for course-related replication projects on topics relevant to your students' interests.
Identify transparent and credible research findings to include in your courses.
Curate the transparency and credibility of seminal findings for your graduate seminar classes, organized in article lists re-usable by other instructors (coming soon).
ABOUT section Same general layout as HIW section, except MISSION & VISION stackable boxes at the top
As per this mockup (text included below mockup):
Mission: Accelerate science by developing the best transparency and credibility curation tools for all research stakeholders.
Vision: Create an accountable research world brimming with transparent and credible evidence.
Every year, millions of people suffer and/or die from serious conditions like cancer, Alzheimer’s, heart disease, anxiety/mood disorders, and suicide. To make progress on these and other problems, funded scientific research must be, at minimum, transparent and credible (credible research is transparent evidence that survives scrutiny from peers). Transparent and credible evidence can then be built upon, which allows ever more precise theories/hypotheses to be tested (solid cumulative knowledge cannot be built on quicksand). Sadly, there is a growing body of credible evidence that the majority of (current) academic research is not minimally transparent nor credible ([1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11], [12], [13]).
Curate Science is a unified curation system and platform to verify that research is transparent and credible. It will allow researchers, journals, universities, and funders to ensure: Transparency: Ensure research meets minimum transparency standards appropriate to the article type and employed methodologies. Credibility: Ensure follow-up scrutiny is linked to its parent paper, including critical commentaries, reproducibility/robustness re-analyses, and new sample replications.
By ensuring transparency and credibility, research stakeholders are held accountable to the people/groups they serve.
RESEARCHERS Researchers can ensure their publications meet minimum transparency standards via their own (externally embeddable) author page, in addition to a host of other benefits (see [HOW IT WORKS section]).
This makes researchers accountable to (1) their employer, (2) the government/taxpayer who funds their research (if publicly funded), and (3) the public, given researchers’ societal responsibility as public intellectuals.
JOURNALS Journals can ensure that submitted articles meet a minimum transparency standard of their choice, and ensure that follow-up scrutiny of published papers is automatically linked within their journal issue article lists.
This holds journals accountable to what they publish, making them accountable to (1) the research community they serve, (2) the parent professional society that owns the journal (if applicable), and (3) organizations and public officials who rely on peer-reviewed journal articles for evidence-based decision-making.
UNIVERSITIES / RESEARCH INSTITUTES Universities can ensure that professors' published research meets a specific transparency standard for passing appropriate scrutiny, which can be used for promotion/hiring decisions.
University departments can then be ranked by their transparency track record, which graduate students/job candidates can use to decide at what university to work.
This makes universities accountable to their stakeholders: (1) tuition-fee paying students, (2) the government/taxpayer (for public universities), and/or (3) private/corporate donors.
FUNDERS / FUNDING AGENCIES Ensure that grantees' publications meet a minimum transparency standard and survive follow-up scrutiny.
Use researchers’/grantees’ transparency track record to inform grant selection and grant renewal decisions.
This makes funders accountable to their stakeholders: (1) the taxpayer (for government funding agencies) and/or (2) the philanthropist donors (for private/non-profit foundations).
CURATE SCIENCE ACCOUNTABILITY Practising what we preach, several transparency and credibility measures have been (or will be) implemented to ensure that we are accountable to our own stakeholders that we serve: (1) our users, (2) the research community, and (3) the public:
Transparency measures

Updated NAVBAR details:
Note: All of these sections are now on the same page, for better UX, which will likely require some kind of "lazy loading" so that not everything attempts to get loaded all at once on page load; Only legacy "Replications" and "Help" pages remain as separate pages.
