Does anyone have experience with sharing their (successful) research proposals?

If so:
- How did you share your proposal?
- When did you share your proposal?

If you didn't:
- Why didn't you share your proposal?

Would be nice to do this as a form of preregistration: publicly stating the goal of your project and the proposed research methods. Could also time-stamp & schedule it to be made public upon completion of the project.

I really liked it when @DrVeronikaCH shared their rejected research proposal: https://journal.trialanderror.org/pub/crowddetective/release/4

But this is probably too much to ask for many people.

@evanmiltenburg thank you! I've thought of sharing mine more generally but the truth is I didn't around to it

@evanmiltenburg I think from a supervised learning perspective, successful and non successful proposals are highly overlapping

@evanmiltenburg from a sharing perspective, increasingly I mention more people, who I'd need to check with to share the document. I'm not sure I did that for the published one, but it was a discussion I had with the editor

@DrVeronikaCH yeah that makes sense. all applicants need to consent to publication
Show threadVeronika CheplyginaDec 22, 2022
@evanmiltenburg yes, in my published case they were not applicants, but people I worked with who had some expectations of me. I don't think I asked them for that publication, but I think it was fair

@evanmiltenburg @DrVeronikaCH@dair- community.social frankly, I would strongly advise against doing so. I've seen cases when reviewers themselves took inspiration on the proposal they reviewed. Ideas and plans are not cheap to come up with.

@Zehavoc right, but would be cool to see the original proposal once the project has been completed, maybe including a reflection on what worked and what didn't.
