The new methods and theorieswe are proposing are not reinforced

in the current academic system.

Current values?• Knowledge for knowledge

sake• Pre-planned research

• Discipline-driven

• Fiscal disconnect

• Post-hoc Peer-Reviewed Publications

New Values?• Relevance and social value

• Iterative experimentation

• Interdisciplinary teams and community engagement

• Fiscal sustainability

• Open Source Github-like Wiki with real-time peer review

Provocative Questions

Using/developing new research methods to

more rapidly advance the field

How might we create new methods for reinforcing the actions of academics to foster the rapid development of new methods and theories?

Which new tools are best for which questions and how do we enable our peers to recognize the value of alternative methods?
