From Transcript to Paper: Measuring Research Production in the Reflexive Laboratory
Key Points
The research aims to establish a framework for quantifying how transcript-preserving research leads to article production.
Developed a framework focusing on measuring research production from transcripts.
Analyzed components such as yield, residue, and linkage in research processing.
Assessed the recursive nature of compounding research articles.
Identified key components like residue and yield in the transcription process.
Demonstrated how process traces affect article production in reflexive laboratories.
Abstract
This paper develops a framework for measuring how transcript-preserving research transforms process traces into articles, including yield, residue, linkage, and the possibility of recursive compounding.
