>>12819180>at least in GermanyWas geht? I'm from Germany as well, PhD student currently. The only thing I'm aware of regarding simultaneous publication of code and content is the NFDI, but it has some major detriments. Is the DFG involved in that approach?
>It is complete bullshit that researchers working at national labs refuse to share their codes with tax paying companies in industryThis has been my rhetoric ever since I started out. We're also paid by public money, so every tax-payer should have at least the opportunity to evaluate what we're doing with their funding. I'd also argue free sharing is a fundament of science in general.
>It has been a way for sub-par researchers to simply lie about their simulation results and hide the code so no one can reproduce it.One master student I supervised was inspired by a paper he read and wanted to expand on the method. When it didn't work, he tried to reproduce the paper and showed that their model only works in very specific edge cases, not generally as claimed by the authors. I believe what you're describing is much more widespread than most people believe.
>Researchers engaging with industry by providing code first and only later charging consulting fees not only make far more money in the long term, but are also eventually able to start their own firms and package code on their own dime.This is really interesting. I was cautious of providing a company I'm working with some example code, but did it anyway. No regrets, but I thought it somehow devalued my work. Just gut feeling though.
I also feel like the industry and academia can profit a lot from each other, at least for me their experience in the real world was immensely interesting and for them, deeper knowledge of some areas of science helped them move forward. It's just an anecdote but it seems to me you're right.
