The COVID-19 pandemic has motivated many open and collaborative analytical research projects with real-world impact. However, despite their value, such activities are generally overlooked by traditional academic metrics. Science is ultimately improved by analytical work, whether ensuring reproducible and well-documented code to accompany papers, developing and maintaining flexible tools, sharing and curating data, or disseminating analysis to wider audiences. To increase the impact and sustainability of modern science, it will be crucial to ensure these analytical activities—and the people who do them—are valued in academia.

COVID-19 的回应表明,传统的学术奖励结构和指标并未反映对现代科学的重要贡献
COVID-19 大流行激发了许多具有现实世界影响的开放和协作分析研究项目。然而,尽管它们很有价值,但这些活动通常被传统的学术指标所忽视。科学最终会通过分析工作得到改进,无论是确保可重现且文档齐全的代码伴随论文,开发和维护灵活的工具,共享和管理数据,还是将分析传播给更广泛的受众。为了增加现代科学的影响力和可持续性,确保这些分析活动以及从事这些活动的人在学术界受到重视至关重要。
