I give you Muki Haklay's SOTM-EU 2011 talk: http://povesham.wordpress.com/2011/07/16/observing-from-afar-or-joining-the-action-osm-and-giscience-research/ He formulated a "code of engagement" for researchers which is explained in the talk, I'll summarize: 1. do some mapping 2. read up on OSM 3. explore the data 4. publish outputs in Open Access 5. publish and share data and code 6. be a "critical friend" of OSM 7. teach about OSM That's just the short form but I think the talk very neatly explains why some researchers might have difficulties interacting with OSM and how things could be better. One would hope that anyone doing OSM research today has at least read up enough to find this talk.
