Description

discussion needed help wanted

Explore the status of open science in Kenya through literature search and data mining. The idea is to analyze how open science tools have been used in research. For example, for a given period of time, we can explore how often published work in Kenya provides access to data and code. Where R has been used for data analysis, is the code provided, and through which means?

We could perform data analysis using R or Python. Tools like ContentMine could be used for this project. They have a tool for downloading papers: get papers.

Let's discuss.
