<div dir="ltr"><p>Hi all, <br></p><p>Join us tomorrow, July 29 at 11 EDT for our
monthly Project Call, dedicated to our current collaboration with BioMed
Central, ORCID and PLOS. Interested in learning more about open source?
Curious about contributing to open science? Join us! <br></p><p>===</p><p><a href="https://www.mozillascience.org/contributorship-badges-building-the-prototype-this-summer">https://www.mozillascience.org/contributorship-badges-building-the-prototype-this-summer</a><br></p><p>In our Contributorship Badges prototype (<a href="https://github.com/mozillascience/PaperBadger" target="_blank">Paper Badger</a>), we’re testing ways to use <a href="http://openbadges.org/" target="_blank">open badges</a>
to assign digital credentials to contributions on academic papers. As
the research environment becomes more digital, we want to test how we
can use this medium to help bring transparency and credit for
individuals in the publication process.</p>
<p>The past few months, our communities have been working together to build a prototype that uses Mozilla’s <a href="https://github.com/mozilla/badgekit-api" target="_blank">Open Badges</a> to issue and store badges based on <a href="http://dictionary.casrai.org/Contributor_Roles" target="_blank">contributor roles</a> on a scholarly paper. By authenticating against <a href="http://orcid.org/" target="_blank">ORCID</a>,
a user can reliably issue badges to a valid ORCID, the standard unique
researcher identifier. Miss our paper badger call? You can <b>watch our <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FEPj1w7IlOc" target="_blank">last project call here</a></b>.</p>
<p>We still have a lot of work before us. Help us get Paper Badger over the finish line this summer!</p>
<p>Want to jump in?</p><p>Join our Project Call tomorrow, July 23rd, at 11EDT to hear more on how you can help. All are welcome (no PhDs required). <br></p><p><strong>WHAT</strong>: Call for anyone interested in helping build Contributorship Badges for Science (PaperBadger)</p><p>
