Further reading

[abranczyk]

We should have a list of further reading, for those who want to dive deeper. Perhaps in the wiki?

EDIT: see comment below for more details: #18 (comment)

What type of further reading? Do you mean for the research aspect or the open problems? Like textbooks, reference papers etc.

Sorry for not being more clear in the original post. I intended to go back to flesh it out, but didn't get a chance yet. (side note: I will add some tags to the issues that we can use to make clear that a post is not ready for work yet).

Now, regarding "Further Reading": I meant this in reference to the DRiP effort and the idea of denizen science, not about any specific research project.

I was imagining that anyone who wants to join the DRiP effort---either as someone helping develop the effort, or someone wanting to join a specific research project---should read a set of onboarding material before they start so that they know what they are getting into (this is described in issue #12). This set of onboarding material should be pretty minimal, because people will want to get started asap.

But naturally, there will be a lot of other interesting and related stuff to read in the related fields of open science, open source software development, meta science, etc.

I imagine everything interesting and related, that does not make it into the onboarding material, should be put in a section called "Further Reading".

For now, I also see this as separate from "Educational material", which I imagine containing material on how to do research and write papers. (But later we might find this distinction doesn't make sense. Let's see how it goes.)

I see. It could be related to articles you shared about citizen science.
