Peer Review 1 of Recognition of the contribution of research support staff to the production of research data in the CONICET open data repository

The registered study is of great interest, as it is important that all research contributions are taken into account in the research ecosystem. It looks like this study wants to evaluate whether a specific platform (CONICET-Argentina) is inclusive of (meta)data generated by Research Support Staff. Based on the specific objectives and research questions listed in the preregistration, I can’t conclude whether this is indeed the main objective. There are some inconsistencies where some of the objectives seem to focus on whether data shared on this platform would increase the integrity of the research data produced by Research Support Staff, whereas the second set of objectives/questions already seem to agree that this is indeed the case, and that therefore we need to increase the use of the platform and provide training and target barriers in using the platform. Based on the description of the work it seems that this last component is the focus of the study – and therefore I would rephrase some of the objectives and the main objectives to reflect this. The data collection and analysis parts of the study could do with some more details – right now it is difficult for me to assess whether this approach will indeed answer the research questions of the study.
