How can I help? What skills are needed?
Everyone can help. If you see something that needs doing, let us know. But the following will help with our existing process:
- Discovery: identifying datasets/websites to archive (especially if you’re on a team that is likely to be targeted)
- Archiving: downloading data and adding it to SciOp
- Writing code: contribute to our Codeberg repo for SciOp or helping refine tools for making data available
