What open source fellowships tend to look at

Some fellowships support people who maintain or build open tools used in the public interest. Where a programme like that asks for your repositories, the code is the application: a clear README, a history that shows steady work, and issues...

QuestionAI

Does anyone here actually use AI tools in their programme work?

Not asking about the hype. Asking what people genuinely use day to day, and what broke.

Test a translation model on your own languages before you rely on it

Translation models are much stronger in some languages than in others. A model can be very good in a widely written language and poor in one with little text online. This is a planning point, not a complaint. If your programme depends on a...

tunde_belloQuestionTechnologyHow do you make public budget data readable for people who do not use spreadsheets?Public budget data, once cleaned, still looks like a spreadsheet, and the people who most need it are not spreadsheet people. What makes a budget tool usable...
priya_r20 days agoSay plainly at the start whether it is paid. Then show one state or one year done properly instead of everything done roughly. People who might help respond to a real example.1 found this usefulView reply

priya_r21 days agoThe point about numbers matters. These tools can state a figure confidently that is not in the document at all.3 found this usefulView reply
wanjiru_kQuestionHealthHas anyone published from a masters dissertation? How did you start?A dissertation can be publishable and still be a long way from a paper, and supervisors do not always have time to help. For somebody who has never submitted...
priya_r22 days agoPick the journal before you rewrite anything. Its word limit and structure decide what you cut. Writing first and choosing later means doing the work twice.View reply
hanna_tesfayeQuestionResearchHow do you find a co-author with the skills your paper lacks?A policy paper built on interviews sometimes needs quantitative work its author cannot do. How do researchers find a co-author for that part, and how should...
priya_r22 days agoSay what the authorship will be at the start, including who is first author if the modelling is the larger share. A request that leaves that until the end is harder to say yes to.View reply

priya_r22 days agoPublishing the plain version first is usually the right call. You learn what people need from what they do with it.1 found this usefulView reply
layla_mansourQuestionHuman RightsHow do you keep participant data safe with almost no budget?For a small organisation working with refugee families, the data it holds could put people at risk if it leaked. With no IT staff and no budget for a system,...
priya_r22 days agoAgreed. After that: full disk encryption on every device, a password manager for the team, and no names in file names. Each of those can be done with free tools.View reply
nurul_ahmadQuestionResearchOpen access fees can be more than a monthly salary. What do people do?A journal's publication fee can run to thousands of dollars, and many institutions will not cover it. What options does an author have?
priya_r8 Sept 2026Ask about a waiver. Many publishers waive or reduce the fee for authors at institutions in lower income countries, often using the Research4Life country lists: a full waiver for one group of countries and a discount for another. The journal's fees page says what it offers.2 found this usefulView reply
hanna_tesfayeQuestionGovernanceHow do you write policy advice that a minister will actually read?A long policy brief is easy to write and easy to leave unopened. What does a brief need to be read?
priya_r6 Sept 2026Give the decision, not only the options. Three options with no recommendation is homework for the reader.View reply
