Hypergraph is a tool for researchers and we want to showcase which researchers use Hypergraph, why, and what they want from future versions. The "Researching with Hypergraph" blog series highlights researchers using Hypergraph for their work. Today we feature Sarahanne Field (@SMirandaField). Who are you and what kind of research do you do? I am Sarahanne, a third-year PhD candidate at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands.
Since the first discussions about Hypergraph, accessibility has been a priority. We recently completed an accessibility audit, and while things aren’t perfectly accessible, we know where to focus our energy. I firmly believe accessibility does more for a product than expanding the pool of potential users, but also serves as an idealized baseline of design and engineering.
Every now and then we feature work that is shared in Hypergraph. You can choose to read it here or open it in Hypergraph (download Hypergraph here). Content suggestions can be sent to community@libscie.org. Cover image courtesy of CrossRef (CC-BY 4.0). The Digital Object Identifier (DOI) system is like a digital address book: One DOI name resolves to information on the location of the content.
The beta release of Hypergraph is here 🎉 If you want to dive in immediately, download Hypergraph (Beta) for Windows, macOS, or Linux. Hypergraph helps researchers reset research publishing, by publicly documenting research step by step, before the issues of after-the-fact articles even begin. Traditionally, articles are often written in hindsight, causing selective publication, p-hacking, and many other issues.
Cultural and individual differences of any kind should not make it harder to use software or technology in your everyday lives. Regretfully, it still very much does, as the default is that of an able-bodied white man in an overdeveloped country.
