Fiddle

Suggested Exercise
(~5 minutes)

Assume that the research you are currently working on could not get published. What are the most likely causes of this happening to you? Brainstorm a list of possibilities – null results, loss of funding, too many rejections.

Go to the fiddle (file drawer data liberation effort) matchmaking tool. Select the “Scenarios” tab at the top. Which of those scenarios did you identify would be the most likely cause of your work not getting published?

Select one of the scenarios – what options do you see for publishing your results? Do you use any of these forms of publication? Brainstorm which option would be the best fit for you and your colleagues and keep it in mind if publication ever seems out of reach.

What are the benefits of disseminating your research through repositories and preprints?
