Re:Ask HN: Should I publish my research code?
on Friday January 14, 2022 @09:50AM (#29935107)
In my view and personal experience, the pros outweigh the cons:
* You increase the impact of your work and as a consequence also might get more citations.
* It's the right thing to do for open and reproducible research.
* You can get feedback and improve the method.
* You are still the expert on your own code. That someone picks it up, implements an idea that you also had and publishes before you is unlikely.
* I never got comments like "you could organize the code better" and don't think researchers would tend to do this.
* Via the code you can get connected to groups you haven't worked with yet.
* It's great for your CV. Companies love applicants with open-source code.

My main point is actually that I am forced to use this dialler without my consent. I am not trying to say that users shouldn't be able to customise the system but I am opposed to manufacturers forcing data-hungry 3rd party programs on customers.

> Maybe he shouldn't have bought a device with such a small userbase?
Yes, I think I did a mistake there. On the other hand, there are small brands which are incredibly open about hardware and software development, such as [1]. I want to stress that the current state of compatibility to smartphone operating systems is really not satisfying.
