For
Researchers, funders, editors, and research-workshop groups
Worth noticing
The five activities use a shared model and score choices against participants’ stated research values, using words rather than numeric forecasts.

Field notes

The project asks participants to weigh seven possible purposes of research, from reliable knowledge and researcher formation to meaning and equity. Its sandbox uses eight drivers, while the role-play activity names five positions: early-career researcher, supervisor, editor, funder, and conference chair. The homepage labels the project version 0.3 and says its figures are sourced on a separate Resources page.
