"The participatory crop research in Oaxaca was successful in terms of its functional and empowering purposes. -- [It] "also demonstrated that while participatory research benefited scientists, only a relatively small number of farmers actually benefited directly."
2 pages., Online via Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), Author suggests that universities and research centres "persist with 19th century methods of data gathering, scholarly analysis, and journal articles. Today's world needs science in real-time, whether to detect drought, confront Ebola, or assist refugees. Research needs to work faster and embrace 21st century practices including data science, open access, and infographics."
