Rethinking Resource Allocation and Funding in Scientific Research
The insight emphasizes the importance of mapping the chain of discovery and development to credit attribution in scientific research. By tracing credit attribution across the through line of all the work, it is possible to pour funding through the entire credit attribution graph, rewarding all participants involved in producing the work. This alternative approach to resource allocation and funding, based on the credit attribution graph, could potentially lead to more effective resource allocation and better outcomes in certain areas of scientific research. The suggestion is to experiment with this approach by creating a website to instantiate the entire scientific graph and references to try out this different way of allocating resources and funding.
