launched last November
....what did people think?
some areas we weren’t sure about, but feedback suggested we got right
public profiles for everybody!
an overall score, with equal weighting to 3 components
downloads, log transformed vs ranked, and display for interprebility, with percentiles
pagerankto weight or not to weight, displayed in interpretable way
authorship weighting (committers vs pypi author vs maintainer)
biggest one: pull in new data from GitHub
expected:
more package library systems (esp bioconductor)
more languages (import detection complexity)
more platforms like bitbucket (esp to get commit history for authorship)
better deduplication (no orcid, alas)
things that aren't on a version control system at all (not happening)
outstanding challenge:
deciding what is a research package (important b/c refset matters)
above, plus better text mining
integrate better with libraries.io
tighter integration with Impactstory
