Hello All, Hope you're all doing well! We are working with the GitHub Social Impact and Policy team <https://socialimpact.github.com/insights/standardized-github-metrics-project-launch/> to define standardized metrics for international development, public policy and economics research indexes.
The home for more than 65 million developers in six continents, GitHub is the world’s largest code hosting platform. As such, metrics on GitHub platform usage can play a valuable role in research across many disciplines, including international development, public policy and economics. In the past, GitHub data has been used to study information geographies <https://rgs-ibg.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdfdirect/10.1002/geo2.8>, *tech maturity <https://networkreadinessindex.org/2020/>* and online collaboration <https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0040162520311173>. Given its relevance and potential, GitHub would like to develop metrics from platform usage that can support researchers and practitioners in international development. In case you have worked with GitHub data in the past, or would like to use it in your work, we would love to connect and learn your needs. Please fill out this form <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeUowDa1Opx1Rak9wOX8kju7O-sWGhHqryTKx2sNoAEm6361w/viewform?usp=sf_link> so that we may be able to reach out to you. Thank you!
