</div>I give you Muki Haklay's SOTM-EU 2011 talk:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://povesham.wordpress.com/2011/07/16/observing-from-afar-or-joining-the-action-osm-and-giscience-research/" target="_blank">http://povesham.wordpress.com/2011/07/16/observing-from-afar-or-joining-the-action-osm-and-giscience-research/</a><br>


<br>
He formulated a "code of engagement" for researchers which is explained<br>
in the talk, I'll summarize:<br>
<br>
1. do some mapping<br>
2. read up on OSM<br>
3. explore the data<br>
4. publish outputs in Open Access<br>
5. publish and share data and code<br>
6. be a "critical friend" of OSM<br>
7. teach about OSM<br>
<br>
That's just the short form but I think the talk very neatly explains why<br>
some researchers might have difficulties interacting with OSM and how<br>
things could be better.<br>
<br>
One would hope that anyone doing OSM research today has at least read up<br>
enough to find this talk.<br>
<br>
Bye<br>
