👉 Ask Research, also known as AskR, is an open-source platform designed to facilitate collaborative research by enabling scientists, researchers, and institutions to share data, tools, and methodologies. It allows users to submit research requests, which are essentially invitations to collaborate on specific projects or experiments. These requests can be reviewed by a community of experts who assess their feasibility, relevance, and potential impact. The platform supports various stages of the research process, from initial proposal to data sharing and publication, fostering transparency, reproducibility, and interdisciplinary collaboration. By democratizing access to research resources and expertise, Ask Research aims to accelerate scientific discovery and innovation across diverse fields.
