Answering some questions about participation:
How many hours are student researchers required to allocate for the project?
It depends on how much you want me to engage with you and talk you through the processes, unboarding etc. I think something like a minimum of 40-50 total hours seems about right, but 100+ hours would be better
- Is the project's intended audience the EA community?
To an extent, yes. I guess 3 primary audiences.
i. The EA community interested in learning more about (what they can do to promote effective) charitable giving and relevant attitudes,
ii. Effective charities and organizations promoting effective giving and action (see the related EA Market testing team)
iii. Academic researchers (Social science, economists, data scientists, human biology) interested in these issues, coming from a range of perspectives
- Which requirements constitute sufficient quality work for student co-authorship?
It's hard to put this in writing succinctly. If you're continent is well written and reasoning-transparent we can probably integrated into the website and recognize you as the author of a particular section. In terms of peer reviewed academic output (this project is not itself a 'paper' but I am very pro-feedback and evaluation-- see bit.ly/eaunjournal) we have to discuss that more carefully.
