Rescognito: Recognizing and Promoting Good Research Citizenship
Rescognito is a free service that aims to recognize and promote good research citizenship. With Rescognito, researchers can acknowledge their colleagues for meaningful contributions to scholarly research. As long as you have an ORCID ID, you can recognize your colleagues' research contributions such as mentoring, data curation, study design, and many other research activities.
The importance of recognizing good research citizenship cannot be overstated. In today's world of academic publishing, it is not enough to simply publish papers or conduct experiments. Researchers must also demonstrate that they are responsible members of the scientific community who adhere to ethical standards and contribute meaningfully to the advancement of knowledge.
Rescognito provides a platform for researchers to do just that. By acknowledging their colleagues' contributions through Rescognito's recognition system, researchers can help build a culture of responsible scientific conduct and encourage others to do the same.
One of the key features of Rescognito is its ease-of-use. The platform is designed with simplicity in mind so that even those who are not tech-savvy can use it without difficulty. All you need is an ORCID ID (which takes only minutes to set up) and you're ready to start recognizing your colleagues' contributions.
Another important feature of Rescognito is its flexibility. The platform allows users to recognize their colleagues for a wide range of activities beyond just publishing papers or conducting experiments. This includes activities such as mentoring junior researchers, contributing data sets or code repositories, designing studies or experiments, reviewing manuscripts or grant proposals - essentially any activity that contributes meaningfully towards advancing knowledge in one's field.
In addition to promoting good research citizenship through its recognition system, Rescognito also offers several other benefits for users:
1) Networking: By using Rescognito's recognition system, users can connect with other like-minded researchers who share similar interests and values.
2) Career advancement: Rescognito's recognition system can help users build a reputation as responsible and ethical researchers, which can be beneficial for career advancement.
3) Funding opportunities: Some funding agencies require applicants to demonstrate their commitment to responsible research conduct. By using Rescognito's recognition system, users can provide evidence of their contributions towards advancing knowledge in their field.
Overall, Rescognito is an innovative platform that has the potential to transform the way we recognize and promote good research citizenship. Its ease-of-use, flexibility, and benefits make it a valuable tool for researchers who are committed to advancing knowledge in a responsible and ethical manner.
