Answer the questions:

  1. What are the 5 top Universities in this field?
    • Correlate them with their main outputs (Data. Narratives. Tools)
    • Understand and identify cases where these universities are “experimenting” or “adopting” commons based approach. Are they adopting OA policies, for instance? Are they adopting Social Responsible License approaches?
    • Identify these cases and treat them as entities that will also be placed in our mapping device (the quadrants)
    • Identify what universities are the “Microsofts” of the field and what companies are the “IBMs” of the field (Use the questionnaire to guide your research when appropriate - Carol will select specific relevant questions)
