Aim and principles of the community

[cassgvp]

After having a quick look through the Open WIN Community pages:

• [ ] Do you understand what the community is for?
• [ ] Can you describe the principles and values of the community?

Comment from Verena Heise:

• this is a very general point but one that I think needs discussing with the WIN community and with PIs in particular: do we just care about “Open” or is “reproducible/ replicable/ reliable research” also part of the mission? I think it says somewhere on your website that “reproducible” is also part of it but if that’s the case, this would extend the mission statement quite a bit (e.g. under services we provide and problems we solve)

• under Community strategy: How, who and when - I would include members of the public and patients under “Who”. I think there’s huge scope for combining the Open WIN theme with public engagement and develop links there

I think it’s clear what the community is for with lots of great metrics for tracking improvements. However I think there could be a bit more emphasis on the overall goal of open research - to maximise the use of data and tools to further scientific understanding and ultimately translate to improvements in the clinic? On a side note - the graphs on the ‘Goals of the Program’ page and quite blurry with small text that is difficult to read - just wondering if you are able to make them a bit clearer?

Hi @jessica-walsh, thank you for this feedback! Let's definitely look to include the background to the benefits of open research as you suggest. Do you think you could create this as an "issue" on the repository??!

Totally get your point about the graphs! These were a rather scrappy and hasty dump of information. This page needs a lot of work :).
