Data & Metrics
Measurement design: what you measure becomes what people do
Choosing indicators is not a technical decision. It determines behaviour, whether or not that was intended.

Data & Metrics
Publishing Guide
Your first paper: the process is unfamiliar, not difficult
Most of what makes a first submission daunting is not knowing what happens — and that is entirely learnable in advance.
Publishing Guide

Papers are written for the twenty people who share the author's specialism and read by many more who do not.
For Partners
Working with a registry: what each side needs from the other
Registries depend on institutions for accurate source data. Institutions depend on registries for figures they cannot produce alone.
For Partners
Institutional data exchange: agree definitions before you exchange anything
Most data exchange problems between institutions are not technical. They are two organisations meaning different things by the same field name.
