Throughput

An NSF Funded Research project NSF-1928366

Goals

• Reduce "time-to-science" for researchers
• Improve mechanisms for crediting different research outputs
• Democratize scientific software

---

Main Components

• Education & Outreach (this workshop)
• Throughput Database (database snapshots)
• Earth Science Cookbook (throughputdb.com)

---

Education & Outreach

• We are good at doing research
• We are not often good at documenting it (Lee 2018)
• We are finding new uses for old research

---

Education & Outreach (pt 2)

• To avoid inequity in access Throughput is making tools accessible to a broader range of researchers
• We are providing new avenues to discover workflows in the geosciences
• We are providing new ways of annotating data to help improve the social dissemination of knowledge.

---

Throughput Database

• Making connections

  • Between data & software
  • Between data & the literature
  • Between the literature & software
  • Between grants, data, software & the literature
  • Among researchers.

---

Earth Science Cookbook

• throughputdb.com
• Keyword and full-text searches for databases and the scripts that use them.

  How do I connect climate and soils data? How do I work with data from a database?
